don't think so, this was insane back then, differnt standards today, watch the Tampa AM 2021 winning run, level now is just insane (and pls don't compare it to Dennis's style, I'm talking trick difficulty)
Vojtech Balik Looking cool and going fast should never, not even once, preside over tricks with skill. If that’s the case, then a run with someone doing Ollie’s and 180’s going super fast should win the content over someone doing hard technical tricks, but didn’t do them as stylish or fast. Why doesn’t Evan Smith win SLS every time then? He should. He’s fast and stylish. That’s way more important than doing hard tricks... wait no, it’s not. That’s why in almost every major contest, tricks win over style and speed. Why would they not?
Right? I saw that. That's his personality in a nutshell. Busenitz there skating and having fun, but Nyjah the type of guy to throw rocks in his way if no one was watching just so he can win.
PattyMayonnaise yea nyjah is definitely the asshole of skateboarding. He’s a crazy good skateboarder and all but he got that corporate stick so far up his ass
I enjoy me some skateboarding talk. I personally grew up with 2000s and those were my fave. Tampa 2000 was amazing and still watch it to this day. Dennis is amazing
@@tracker4854 yeah i skated mostly in the 2000s being born in the early 90s. the culture of skating was alot more involving in the 2000s forsure but i was more talking about the skill level that people reached in the 2011-2016 era, by that time me and my friends had graduated high school and didnt skate as much but watching the current up and comers and pros of the first half of the 2010s was just mind blowing to me.
@@AaronConnorM for sure man. I know what you mean. I got that sense from a lot of the shortys and Osiris riders from back in the day. I feel they were so ahead of their time and then that huge progress you talk about came and it’s just mind blowing how far it’s gone in skill now
Damn things have changed. None of this was that hard for a pro but hit he hit every obstacle with a different bag of tricks that got him points so he won.
it's kinda unfair because Dennis is a legend by this time, and he skated China Banks in the late 90's. So competing with kids and on this kid's playground is nothing for him.
Hace 10 años ya?! Joder como pasa el tiempo... me voy a la calle a patinar, que me cualquier día me caen 40 años encima y no podré ni levantar el culete.
All the skaters this year would use the 1/4's to get off their board and turn around. Dennis had style and bad a** tricks on every wall. Stop rewarding the crap skating we had this year.
This dude is insanely overrated. He just skateboards a little bit faster than everyone else. Every trick he does is basic as hell. I’m not just talking about this video either. I’ve watched him over and over and I can’t understand why he is even a top professional. I wouldn’t put him in my top 5,000
dendriovos People get hyped for Evan Smith too and he never has a winning run. The crowd being hyped doesn’t change the fact that nothing he does is a banger.
I think that he has a very natural style. Someone in the comments said "the other skaters are doing tricks, he is skateboarding" Than is not that easy being so fast an precise
1 Shane O'Neill trick is better than Dennis Busenitz's whole run. Can't understand why Dennis is a SOTY nominee. He does not do bangers, ever. It's always just a bunch of simple/mediocre tricks.
yeah, front blunt up a hubba, switch blunt nollie flip, back noseblunt a ~6 foot qp, kickflip up a 5, all super mediocre. Now I really wanna watch what you do at your local park. You must be amazing if you're capable of putting this down.
bloebachable It's not always about the tricks. Dennis has flow and skates gnarly terrain. Shane and Dennis are sick in their own way. It's so hard to judge in contests because everybody has their own style and strategy.
