Jason Enns is the man, thus nullifying your opinion of his invert.

Anyway; I hated the way BMX looked back in the Days. Everything is so much smoother and well done today. I Think of Robbo´s and Castillos manuals and they were just pure boring, looked like they didnt have to make an effort for it (which is probably true). And nose wheelies a while ago was just a slow descent while falling from a nose bonk, not a manual as people are doing now.

You're trippin. Robbo's manuals looked great, especially at high speed.
I think a lot of the awkwardness comes from people riding mega tall bars. Their body position is so upright that if you look at their body only and imagine there's no bike it's like they're riding around on a segway. It looks even worse if the bars are also super wide. I'd bet there wouldn't be much of this if people rode bikes proportional to their size.
On the other hand, some tricks are just naturally awkward looking like nose manuals and tailwhips.

okay, its not really gay fish if you also run 2 brakes/gyro and youre on a vert ramp so fuck off noone even rides vert anyway except maybe jfax
