This kid has got some serious skills. I would like to see well anyone that is a member of this site land a flipwhip or a 360 double tailwhip.
As far as I can see he has earnt his place there.

I would think it may play a part. But I would say that he got in by his talent. If he didn't have the skills nobody would have given two tihss about him. I have seen little kids flip before. But you through in an esranal of tricks like that kid has and no one would come friggin close to him.

yeh, he can land a heap of tricks. not very well. i didnt see one stylish/good looking trick in that video, for example the tailwhip spine- 
to be honest, hes 11, he should be on 20"s by now, i dont think hes going to have quite the same skills on a bigger bike.
he also hung up on almost EVERYTHING
hes good though.

I have seen pro riders hook up on a lot of things.
Let me put things in perspective. Do you guys feel the same about Shaun White (foer those of you who know of him). When he was first in the Xgames. He didn't have the strength or body mass to get the speed to make all the landings properly. But he was still a little dude that was and deserved to be ripping it with the big boys.

Shaun Whites is insanely good at snowboarding and skateboarding. He must practice a tihs lot to land 1080's and 900's so easily and make them look that stylie and effortless. My idol 
But I agree with you even that kid 'hangs' up on everything, who gives two tihss, let him show his potential and things will only get better.

The fact that a young kid has the skills makes it a gimmik

Give him a break, the kid is 11. If he has the bike control to do the tricks that hes doing now, imagine how dialed/smooth hes gonna be when older/physically bigger. Of course he isnt gonna be able to do all the same stuff if he went to a 20, not because he hasnt got the skills, afterall hes already proved he does, but because he doesnt have the strength to control a bigger bike...
