“He does a really good job of getting into a full squat when taking drops. The parkour roll is not really possible on a make, but you will often see pros do it when bailing.”

I have always liked his style, that kickflip leap of faith [VIDEO] years ago cemented that he has some serious gap skills.

A good example of the compression that Ajturtle45 is talking about is Ryan Sheckler: [VIDEO]. He does a really good job of getting into a full squat when taking drops. The parkour roll is not really possible on a make, but you will often see pros do it when bailing.
