@tsuion: in the case of tricking i agree and disagree.
yes there is no need to put more than 2 or 3 replays in the stock. however i disagree with your second point
as much as tricking today is all about doing real life tricks i don't think its the full reason why it all look the same, if you look at it you will see that most players only do corks,hooks and cheats (kinda including me) but there is much more to tricking than that. just check the tricktionary and you will find tons of tricks that no one have tried doing in tb. if players were to step out of their comfort zone and try new tricks that would make some kind of change. or if they followed mack's path into making their own tricks.
the problem is not tricking itself, the problem is the lack of effort put into it.
not sure if flash and oblivion parkour is a good thing to put tho, it has flaws.
btw do anyone remember/have the sambo manipulation made by n1ghtshade about 3 years ago? deffenitelly worth it imo
