    Hey. Theres this vid of me outflipping a 3 stair which i kind of hop out
    of. despite this, i feel like it was in control and it seems pretty
    smooth to me, since i don't just stop and it seems to be in good flow.
    Now i know that its pretty biased, coming from me, so i was just
    wondering wat u guys thought.
    heres the link:

    Hmm... If you were in control of it, how come you didn't ride out of
    it(as opposed to doing a correction hop)?

    Also, it's okay to hop out of a flip down a 3-set, but when it's a
    5-set or bigger, your ankles(and leg joints in general) won't be so
    pro-hop as you may think.

    If you were in perfect control it wouldn't have been more than one small
    hop.

    I thought it looked great. But just as a gymnast wants to "stick" the
    landing after a big dismount, riding out of a hard trick without any
    correcting hops shows a higher level of mastery. In a Street
    competition, if you did that and another guy did exactly the same thing
    without the hops, he would get a slightly higher score.

    However, if you were in a Freestyle competition, you might be able to
    work in the hops, or a hopping theme, in such a way to make it look
    like you wanted it to look exactly like that. Then you would get a
    better score than the other guy (assuming he was doing an identical
    act, which only works in this hypothetical situation).

    Well u c i land my outflips on the cranks so i cant exactly roll out. I
    could have just as well stopped and got my feet on the pedals and rode
    away hopless, but i think thatd probably look worse since it would stop
    the flow.
