hes technically not doing the same trick over and over again. I've skated for years and even participated in several comps when I was younger. His speed combination and consistency is what makes him very good but what looks like the same trick is actually a variation based on his stance and approach and these are all factors that make the same trick become much more difficult. So example I'm a righty to I ride goofy (right foot forward). So now i perform a kick flip ok cool but if I were to change my stance and perform the same trick but left foot forward it is now consider a switch kickflip. kinda like batting lefty - much more difficult. then other factors like popping of the nose of the board (fakie) or doing that switch (nollie) it goes on and on but if he were to do a nollie kickflip its popping off the nose in a switch stance. Very difficult even for sessioned pros. Sorry for the story but just thought I share.
