For a guy who seems relatively relaxed in interviews, the man gets next level stoked when he finishes a run, that's for sure. I imagine there's some serious adrenaline pumping when you're pulling some of that stuff off.
Nicholi, you are always at the top of the list for radness. when you 1080 and cashroll in your runs, and no one else does, uhhmmmm... many props for top results into the 2017, send it!
never dissapoined when i watch a rogatkin video. the 1080 as earned him a place alongside the greats of mtb definitely. As ground breaking as tony hawks 900 trick.
Steezy? Nah. I believe "steez" is style with ease, and I see nothing easy going about his style. Homedag has tricks I'll give him that but they look SO forced
@shreddatlip: So true. Theres no denying he's got a huge bag of really impressive tricks but when he lands a trick completely sideways and then gets bucked side to side before somehow rolling out, its just gross. He's like the Josh Bender of slope style
@SpinningAddiction: yeah true, but where is the line? There's always a place in bikes for going bigger than everyone else, but style is what makes this individualized sport so great. throwing under rotated sloppy things shouldn't win competitions
I don't really think they are playing the same game... It's like sport car vs monster truck to me, both pretty cool to watch, but different.
This guy has huge talent and balls, but Semenuk is all about perfect, clean, smooth tricks.
Anyway, they are both awesome.
Seems like the kinetic energy of his balls do the rotating. Keep sending it and fist pump all you want man, you got crazy skills! For those who complain about him casing jumps and landing all sketchy at times, are you not entertained?
I'm not a slope style guy. I hit jumps and do absolutely nothing but try and not die. That being said I will watch a Rogatkin video every time I see one posted.
i can see the argument that the guy has no style, even his season highlight reel has him flailing around casing landings someone has to push the boundaries but pretty it aint
Those 3 seconds I rewound a half dozen times.
It's amazing the grace and poise through the air in such little time. Inspiring and humbling which leaves me in awe.
