I voted 60cm sidehop. Really need to improve my sidehop so this would be
ideal.

How long have you been riding to consider yourself a noob. I voted for
shifty, I've been wanting to try one for a long time. Whenever I see
people do them it seems like a easy trick. Most of your tricks in your
poll are kind of advance tricks, such as gliding.
By the way whats a body varial?

I've been riding my Torker DX for a month or so, and to be honest, I
just wanted 10 options and there wasn't much else suggested in the
other thread I started.
And don't think I'm biased, cause I know their is no way in hell that I
can land a superman or a crankflip.

Just remember, just cause the thing you want isnt in the competition,
doesnt mean you cant go outside and learn it for yourself.
Some of the stuff on here I cant do, so im not gonna wait for it to
show up in a competition thread or make a competition thread for it,
ill just go outside and learn it.

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.- Bob Burnquist

I was gonna let them go til the begining of next week til the poll ends
unless there is an epic, neck-to-neck battle between hoptwist and
sidehop, in which case the poll might go on longer.

Did you meant double leg around?

A 360 hop twist is a 360 degree hop.Its sometimes called a 360 hop
twist because some people confuse them with 360 unispins.
