 Do not really understand why Andreu took home the win. The Reynolds-run was just so sick with the touble tailwhip over the long distanceright after his double flip where Lacondeguy 'only' went for the flatspin 360 over the shorter distance...

 i thought thomas genon got robbed, he had a solid run, including tailwhip to tuck, straight into a bar to whip on the next jump, and he trucked off the boner log, and stomped a clean flair at the bottom.

 What did you expect - Redbull event, Redbull rider won it with a 2nd place run yet a Monster Energy rider does the best run and comes second. Sorry to sound like it's a set up but come on, we were all thinking it...

 i have to agree with: leon-forfar....
i've seen and known Thomas Genon for a while now, and for his age...WoW such a clean and stylish rider!! he had to be on the podium...
sorry to say but lacondeguy has a MX style...its to "over the top" and totally not stylish, the word power is more in place...and i dont like his cocky-macho attitude... because he bailed more runs, the top 3 should of be of 2brits and 1belgian guy... . 1 more thing: I stil like "tha claw" even with his bad result. :-)

 Really good coverage. repeated instead of skipping forward. Andreu is my fave but, even I thought Sam Reynolds run was more mind blowing. Never seen that trick combo back to back even in bmx (though I don't watch much 20 inch). In retrospect Lacondeguy's double was way cleaner and he tricked and styled the rest of his run better. I was too blown away to notice what else Sam did. I have to watch that shit again. Rad course Claw.

 Sam Reynolds should have won the event, he got robbed, I also think Thomas Genon should have took 3rd place with his run that included some pretty dope combos, neither Pilgrims or Anthony's run was that good especially when Anthony was riding the small line, one trick shouldn't make or break a run. MAJOR PROPS to the Claw for building a super rad course

flag iamamodel (May 20, 2012 at 20:47)
 Actually it is an advantage - small athletes spin faster than tall athletes - that's one of the reasons gymnasts and divers are shorter than average. Get a short thick piece of lumber and hold it by one end and see how much easier it flips than a longer piece of lumber of the same weight. Sit on an office chair and spin on it. While spinning, stick your legs and arms out - you will slow down. Tuck your legs in and fold your arms and you will speed up.
