He also did a KF in linear (which was an old one--he was on a flat), and he also had a varial kickflip attempt.

He's very tallented, but in my opinion he's kind of a....major league sketch bomb.

parky bsbs, skatingguy if thats what electricsnow meant then i understand i was just wondering if meant somethin different

He did mean something different, actually. You see, when Tim Kovacich gets mad, he tends to explode into a thousand tiny, rough drawings; thus the title, "sketch bomb." (I've seen this incident occur several times myself-it really is QUITE amazing.) I hope you understand what electricsnow meant now, heywood. Glad to help out.

yeah, skatinguy pretty much got it (the double meaning of sketch bomb). Yes, there is no doubt that tim is tallented, but his stuff isn't all that tight and clean. In my opinion, he really doesn't have that certain *something* that really makes him fun to watch. For instance, byerly has a unique body position when he rides, has good board control, and he has a certain amount of personal flair he adds to his tricks (although, for some reason I think he looks a little better on a wakeboard, but I digress). Ever since I saw liner I've maintained that opinion about tim-he can do a lot of tricks, but outside of the trick itself, there isn't anything that stands out.

Obviously some may not agree with this, but that's the beauty of opinions. So, that is what she meant....
