  3. ๐Ÿšซ No posts that link to Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, or any other corporate billionaire-owned society-eroding cesspools. YouTube is "fine", for now.

Suggestions:

  1. Please use post tags if you can, because filtering posts via the tag cloud is quite convenient.

Ginwoo is changing the game in contests and beyond; he never fails to make my jaw drop. However, I found this part to be underwhelming due to repetitiveness and still in search of a style. E.g., his foot positioning doesn't make the tricks as aesthetically pleasing as some of the more seasoned skaters do, no matter how technically impressive his combos are. I'd rather see a damn fine kickflip than what I saw now.
In any case, Ginwoo is still super young and it's gonna be so exciting to see him reach his full potential, which he definitely has not reached yet.

I agree. The whole thing looked like an extension of an SLS run, but street footage doesn't give points for tricks performed.

Instead, the medium is more of an art form, and requires style and spectacle to keep the momentum rolling.
