Clearly the professor did not share the same enthusiasm that Atlas carried for Falling With Style. No accounting for taste, after all. Something that dad said sometimes and was usually directed at the third year whenever he over shared about Divination assignments and reading...so Atlas knew that it was not exactly a complimentary turn of phrase.

The thing with flips and tricks and all that were that they required a certain sort of athleticism...something which this Flamsteed was not in possession of. This summer when Aries had wanted to take up surfing and Atlas had tagged along ~~to not feel left out and also to try and impress Aunt Minnie~~ had resulted in wipe out after wipe out and never once had he managed to stand up or take a knee on his board. Save for the practice while they were still on land and in the hot sand. The only time any sort of aerobatic movements were employed were when it was beneficial and necessary for whatever robotics competition he was in...and even then it was mostly to look cool or tack on some additional bonus performance points.

Though something DID come to mind.

"Well...I know in robotics competitions, bot battles, using serpentine movements make it much easier to hit the target than if it was moving in a single straight line...which is basically what he already alluded to," he offered with a point at Lisa's brother Evan. He did pause to glance at Lisa again though because like...was she okay? "...plus...they can be crowd pleasers when you successfully perform a trick." Again, speaking from his robotics competition experiences.
