i think hes an awesome rider but i myself personally like big tricks and gaps sort of like arron ross, dakota roche, and mike aitken i find Ian to be more of a tech rider
hes the reason i want to get a freecoaster. if anyone here has seen his mosh edit, he does the smoothest full cab down a set of stairs. But my faveorite trick that he has done is from lotek vancouver when he does a fakie hop to fakie manual on the long manny pad. Ian schwartz, karl poynter, and bruce crisman in my opinion are the best freecoaster riders out there

I'm not really a fan of Ian. Sure hes good but it's always the same thing. Hop over a rail, hop over this that whatever. Then you have the pegless grinds which really arent that pegless. He's using his crankarms or pedal which you can still do even if you run pegs. I think I saw a pegless double peg but it looked more like a pedal I dunno. The point is though, its not like he's doing pegless icepicks or other grinds on ledges or rails. Look at Chris Silva though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcHIrBKVm2U pegless hangover tooths down rails. I think he's just overhyped. The vidoes are kind boring cause theres a lot of fill in footage. The vidoes are more art based if anything. There are a lot more riders out there who are better but hardly get as much attention as Ian.
