And that shows that they're not quite at that masterful level yet.

just curious i'm curious to see if ai will factor all that stuff in like the the nuances of it the style um the technicalities um i'm just really curious i'm sure at first it'll probably have a lot of you know bugs but as it collects more data and the more times it does it i'm sure it'll get smarter and be better so i would imagine at some point it'll be like really good

um but it's just skateboarding is a thing like i call it a sport art hybrid because it really is subjective it's more relatable to music than it would be to sports in my opinion it takes athleticism but it's really an art like there's no rules you can do whatever trick your mind can imagine if you can imagine it and then you try it long enough and you try to learn and you can do it you can do it but um

There's no right or wrong.

Like in music, it's like how do you compare Jimi Hendrix to Mozart?

They're both like masterful musicians but completely different.

So same thing in skateboarding.

There might be your Naja Houston who's an amazing, awesome skateboarder, but then you might have a guy like a Brian Peacock who not many people know, but he's so technical, he's so smooth, he's so ambidextrous.

You can have a preference.

I might be more of a fan of this guy than this guy or vice versa, but there's actually no real answer to he's better or he's better.

Yeah, exactly.

In basketball, it doesn't matter.

You can have a funny-looking jump shot, but if it goes in and you score a lot of points, somebody wants you on their team.

Or if you are a good defender...

But you just have a – like you're not smooth like how AI was or whatever.

It doesn't matter.

You know what I mean?

Like it matters outside of basketball because like a guy like maybe Allen Iverson or LeBron or Kobe or Jordan, they got the big endorsement deals outside of basketball because they were phenomenal with their stats and they like made basketball look effortless and smooth and good.

And they became more of a marketable kind of –

athlete and they transcended it but within basketball you could have your run-of-the-mill guy who's not so famous but he's just effective at whatever the coach needs him to do doesn't have to be particularly uh flashy or anything like that and you know he'll have a hundred million dollar contract you know and he's chilling that's such a great point you bring up though because you could ask the average person who the greatest skateboarder of all time is and they're going to say tony hawk yeah for sure but when it comes to skill that's a different conversation
