Watching Someone Learn 12s vs. Skilled 12s

Which do you guys like watching more? Personally I like watching videos of people learning 12s more than watching people who already do them well. It's a lot funnier with all the crashes (as long as they don't get hurt of course). The best part is seeing the person improve. It's a good motivational tool that shows that if you keep at something eventually you will get it.

This is a great example of what I'm talking about:

It's the one titled Going for 12.

It's great to see the guy get closer and closer to doing a 12 and see him try over and over after he takes some nasty spills.

So what do you guys like?

Wouldn't it be "WHO DO YOU LIKE WATCHING"?


I would much rather watch the more skilled riders....so i can learned from them.

i agree , i like watching the guys trying. its fun to watch the progression. two perfect examples are john from legion. i met him at stuntwars and he was damn good. now look at him, he f'n rips **** up. also binder929. he and i started this season trying, talking to everyone on stuntlife trying to figure this damn trick out. i think i suffered a few worse crashes but he def. has them now. just when i started nailing it i crashed at a starboyz event and was out for the count. next year i'll have em.

I like watching myself 12 while other people watch me 12 and say "that's a damn fine 12"

it's all about the ego stroke! hehe
