Not at all. Just watch any monster truck freestyle competition and you'll see clearly that even with the best equipment and engineers, they break nearly every time...except for the trucks that score less than 10 out of 30 points. If you aren't breaking some stuff, you aren't flying high enough or hitting that wall of cars hard enough. Simple as that. True enough, they often leave the big jump(s) for right at the end of their time, or even after time's up, knowing it may end with them driving a tricycle or worse....and then again, sometimes that doesn't slow them down much. It all depends on the truck's design and the driver.
When I did off road racing, I always put the sentiment another way. "If you aren't bleeding, you aren't really trying." I had my rear tire/wheel pass me numerous times after a hard jump. It just happens. Even chromemoly is only a little stronger than regular steel, and stub axles only come so big. It's one of those things where you just have to make the weak point an easy fix, because there's always going to be a weak point.

...but if you were talking about his 4x4 truck, not monster trucks....never mind! :-)

I know, I fucking hate freestyle...Almost as much as slam poetry, fast-food, and television...

If you like Gou Miyagi's style, check out Kilian Martin!

Pogos, random darksiding, multiple board use, hand stands, etc. Good to see this in the Top 15 but I would kill to see Kilian AND Miyagi there together.

And if you want more skateboard originality check out:

* Omar Salazar
* Willy Santos
* Sergio Yuppie
* Rodney Mullen (Of course!)
* And bonus half pipe creativity from Daewon Song & Chris Haslam

Also, JFYI, we may look weak but don't f with us (we're like zerg): http://videosift.com/video/Guy-with-Gun-Confronts-Skateboarder-Street-Justice-Ensues

ROFL, I don't think they're doing that to "trick" their opponents... They're just doing acrobatics mixed with martial arts (freestyle tricks).

Take it from me, parents just don't understand.

Perhaps related to the phenomena where people with debilitating stutters can nonetheless sing perfectly. In the first part, it almost sounds as though he's rapping a little bit. It's damn impressive.

Perhaps there is a whole new field of therapy for people who suffer with stuttering through practicing freestyle rap. Can't say as I could possibly truly understand it, but I suspect it has a lot to do with establishing a rhythm. I'd be interested to know what he's listening to. Does it even need to have lyrics?

*promote the washed-out hack
mack-daddys' back
with his punk beats
Hoein'-out to Hollywood Jump Street;
Slingin' sit-com crack like a chump thief
"Are We There Yet?" ,I don't know Uncle Tommy, you tell me?!

Come a long way since the N W A,
Now you makin' all yas' Compton brothers nervous,
and your tinsel-town time looks like community service,
to the white man;
Kissin' his nutsack
Took a promissin' career , went and showed it your buttcrack;
Turnin' niggas into stereo-typical, thug-smack
If your granny was alive you'd be feelin' a BITCH SLAP!

Tell us what you've done for the Black community;
Given niggas nothing more than some pimp-ass immunity,
from thinkin' too hard about from whence they came
from playin' any better at the white man's game
from stayin' Afrocentric and adjustiin' the game,
helpin' all the righteous brothers to a dose of the same, you're LAME!
and your rhymes, all the same
Played-pentameter-same, house-nigga blame-game...

Many may freestyle, the few deal in truth.

Freestyle FTW. Now put on some Trinere.

[Talking voice]
Yeah man, just left town man
I'm here, here
Had to get outta town baby
Where you stayin' now?
You can pick me up at the round busstation
Or I can take a plane
There's your cab? I'll be right over
It's gonna be a few sec, and I'll tell you what went down

[Kool Keith]
I stayed in New York, depressed, walkin' mad through the block
Watching brothers go down, my project friends smoking rock
My group divided and everthing was undecided
I was drinking, thinking: "Damn, man, my boat is sinking"
Everybody's wack and new groups comin' back
They on Arsenio, booty's on video
Watch this clown rhyme that's paid for on primetime
Everybody's mean, they're hard, they're killing mothers
Shootin' bang bang, fakin man killing brothers
I had to turn off the radio from all the Walt Disney
Mickey Mouse and friends all talking pop and lippy
Girls excited for what? And over-infatuated
People got their brain washed and folks got manipulated
They start beleiving Donald Duck made the earth
The industry was cursed since the Dinosaur's birth
(The industry was cursed since the Dinosaur's birth)

[Chorus]
It's over now
No problems in this world
It's over now
I'm home chillin' with my girl
It's over now
My mind was in a twirl
It's over now
I'm home chillin' with my girl
It's over now
No problems in this world
It's over now
I'm home chillin' with my girl
It's over now
My mind was caught up in a twirl
It's over now
I'm home chillin' with my girl

[Kool Keith]
Flying nighttime, eating peanuts on the plane
With no moneycontrol, my stress builds on my brain
My ticket's oneway
I'm out to southern Caliway
I left behind some people that wasn't even equal
I thought back with chicks and freaks in 86'
When Marley was in in control +the funky magic mix+
I had the limousine on hold with the real chauffeur
Ripped the ???? up with Ultra and I felt like Oprah
Girls in flocks and fans in lines from blocks
I didn't even hear a peep of you rappin' mister
I was your idol and probably on your older sister
Now you bad you signed stupid with a recorddeal
Your image is butt you perpertrating Shootin' Steel
Holdin' guns on albumcovers just to make funds
You the man quick fast payed out the ?anoass?
You can see I'm back and clear on stereo
with my own style, my intimite material

[Talking voice]
Ye, your style changed every year
Think about what you did
Used to dance, used to wear suits
Then you came back to wearing hip-hop clothes
Then you went back to wearing suits

[Chorus]
It's over now
No problems in this world
It's over now
I'm home chillin' with my girl
It's over now
My mind was caught up in a twirl
It's over now
I'm home chillin' with my girl

[Kool Keith]
No accountant, my lawyer keepin' checks on the low
Money, expenses for trips I didn't know
Agencies finding shows I could get myself
Writing rhymes at night in the house by myself
I open mailboxes, all I see was more bills
Gettin' cold chicken, walkin' down Bronx hills
Askin' moms for 50 cent, just to pay my rent
I had no will to ill, my mind was out to kill
I called up Kurt, got a big deal signed with Capitol
Money's flowin' now wild suckas out blowin' up
They my pupic care, and pupils still growin' up
Sucking mean while the g'ism as it hits the rhythm
They want that new style, no money it's called freestyle
Taping off the radio, smokin' from my crack vial
They on my tip now, as always as usual
You forgot me, but I didn't forget you

[Chorus]
2x It's over now
No problems in this world
It's over now
I'm home chillin' with my girl
It's over now
My mind was caught up in a twirl
It's over now
I'm home chillin' with my girl

Yeah...
