who is best?

i would just go ahead and take tra off that crap... no offense to him he goes absolutely huge and he is a solid rider but after you see vincent and the coos bros ride some really tricky stuff you would be all "tra who?"

giacomo is a beast. he is so dominant right now. gilles is really amazing too but between the two i definately see giacomo as the besster rider right now. keep in mind he is also a year older and a year bigger (more muscles, more riding time all that jazz).

vincent is an amazing rider and definately will be in the top 8 at worlds for finals for a long time to come but i dont see him riding as well as the brothers do right now. that may change though, he has improved a TON over the last year or two.

everyone of these riders goes big and has gobs of skill but until you see them in a setting that would push everyone to their max they are all just at the same level in videos. at worlds and other uci comps and stuff you get to see who truely comes out on top.

I could watch vid like that 900 times more than a good edited vid of a guy who thinks he has a bmx and have to do as much "style" as he can into every move he do (manuals as often). The thing is that every move they do is just about flawless and its beautiful to watch, giaco is just about best and vids like that are vids you learn from, watching them nosepicking such huge stuff(you can see his head nearly touches the wheel), how insane clearence he has(wheel to but) on that tap to rear wheel and it just looks so nice. Sometimes some people say shit as "oh he did a 10 feet gap , he`s amazing!" and I can comment "I dont give a f**k it were very shitty done, his positioning were way off, didnt this didnt that" and the other guy says "what you kidding? I didnt see anything wrong with it!" . My point is that the enjoyment in watching stuff like this is that what ever they do are so good performed, go into where his pedals are, where his head are, where his back are, where this where that are, not just if he got up or not, thats not alwyas what I look for.

At the looks of it he couldnt sidehop it but he had emense amount of clearence on his tap, I can quite probably sidehop that but I would struggle hard to get that clearence he had on his tap, why if im more explosive? His technique is quite probably the thing.

I analyze every video I watch like this , and thats why these videos are the only ones who can actually give me a lot of satisfaction .

Btw im not trying to tell you how it is, its just my opinion and im quite certain of it aswell .
