I think the guys who typically display the most style have the greatest grasp on their bikes and tend to have the tech tricks on lock as well. Style always wins though

Have you not seen Howards insanely dumped 3's or nasty tailwhips?! I havent ridden with Cob, so I dont know about his trick list, but R-Dog throws down!

STYLE ALL THE WAY..... just think about it most the guys who dont really have style are mostly stuck up a-holes and riders with style seem to be out there just having a good time rather then trying to out trick every one......so i say style all day!!!!

Style, nothing looks better than a big inverted table or dialled whip.

come on, you don't get stoked when someone does something incredible technical and ludicrous? i'm a style fan for sure, but some of the stuff being done now gets me just as pumped!

Tech. I'd rather watch Greg Watts over any other rider. But I guess my bread and butter in my bmx days was combo tricks.


I cannot stand watching moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip after moto whip.

both have their place and every rider always seems to work on their weakness. I consider myself a style rider, but i'm always working on tech. for me we need both...

Ya gotta love Greg Watts he is the man!!!! Even more so now that he hooked up with Haro. So now i have a rider and a close company that in my book are the greatest ever!!!

The only style I care about is Joel Alamo's! Haha

I think Semenuk is probably the rider with the most tech tricks and style mixed into one. Watching him and Watts at every contest this year was rad, They were riding a level above everyone.

Greg Watts has more tech tricks then anyone has tricks. he also can click tables. greg gets tech on real trails. way harder then just being steezy! Its not about tech or steeze its about being a solid bike rider that can throw down on anything and everything.

Wait till you see my no thumbers. I've been working up to them from one thumbers all winter. I'll throw a toe off by the end of the summer. Mark my words.

The correct answer is neither. In the debate of style vs. tech tricks, the real winner will always be going bigger than the other guy. Watch Sean Burns in Dead Bang. Case in point.
