Lots of people will tell you he's terrible at SX because one Youtube video shows him crashing in the whoops on the KTM test track (show me a 16 year old who hasn't crashed learning to ride whoops?). Even Matthes reiterated on a podcast the other day that when Herlings came over to Cali to test a few years ago he 'wasn't very good'.
But if you listen to DV, who supposedly went to watch Herlings practicing, he was actually pretty good. The Youtube videos would suggest as much, because he seems to ride the rest of the track pretty well if you ask me.
edit: I see 'Little Annie' beat me to it

1. Get a good start
