Daewon gets a pass for life. Every few years he changes to some new phase and then he goes crazy with it. I remember when he was putting picnic tables over roof tops and stacking them down stairs like rails. Everything he puts out is next level and even then you can tell his skating is so precise and requires so much skill that he can do whatever he wants o it.
