Why should I use the whole course when skateboarding?

Tony Alva (Pro Skateboarder) gives expert video advice on: Why should I use the whole course when skateboarding?; What do judges look for at a skateboard competition?; What type of skateboard skills do I need when trying to use the whole course?

If your going to go out and hit two little, like a gap and a handrail and stuff and just focus on that, the judges are going to look at you as just limited. Their going to go this kid is a one hit wonder or a one trick pony. It's like the thing to winning a skateboard contest, especially pro, is you've got to be able to skate everything.
