Anyway for me I think Tommy hit the nail on the head, its not the tricks themselves that were innovative, but the execution and where he executed them, and I think the key point he made was "few" new tricks, not no new tricks. Of course there will always be innovators and creators of new tricks, Morgan Wade with his bike flip, Dave Mirra with the double backflip in competition, Ryan Guettler with the first 1080 in competition etc etc....i'm not slagging off bmx, I bmxed myself for 7-8 years and still love it, I just don't ride anymore thanks to a dodgy shoulder.
