I think the judging this year will leave a mark, and also will put in the table a serious way of judgement, more than the classic factors of flow, style, difficulty, etc, etcetera, etc. that ever stands in all the contests... The FMBA needs to be clever!
i quote "Judges need to separate style from death tricks and score accordingly". because some of these tricks may put you out of the game for goods, while some combo trick are pretty sweet but yet not as dangerous as a cork dubflip and such... just look at Sam Reynolds last year breaking is back. when you compare anton cleanlander run to thomas genon... frontflip no hander is way more dangerous and came up alot later in the progression than some of the tricks anton pulled...
Seemed like Genon threw down combinations on every feature and I thought he deserved podium. Props to Martin but I am not seeing how his run was a whole 3 points higher than the rest of the bunch. Would like to see the replays and/or a written breakdown of the top 5 riders' tricks for each feature.
yeah i especially don't understand why genom got rated so low in my opinion it was a maximum difference of 0.1-0.3 between söderström and genon because genon nailed it!
much as i love soderstrom, i think the judges were trying to make up for way under-scoring his first run with that huge second run score. the corked double flip and the cash roll should've counted for a bit more, imho. #bangers
f*ck u @dar-ride, Rogatkins one of the best bmx riders on earth, he flip double whips spine jumps, 360 triple whips and heaps of other crazy stuff, and to come out for his first ever slopestyle comp he did bloody well, especially considering he cashrolled the last jump
suck this guy .I.
... the really mountain bikers try and know how is one MTB bikes, and learn some tricks unique on a real mtb bikes... this is for real people that is dedicated to is! MTB BIKES and slopestyle bikes is diferent to BMX bikes... tricks mode of ride.. and knowing!
im not his fun but GENON GOT MORE THAN ROBBED............. .................................. #martinshowsnothingnew#henkewhocantdoanythingexceptflips #cleanlanderwaslandingcleanfromnothingspecial #AMAZINGJUDGING
first of all yes gonom got robbed but half of henkes tricks weren't flips and if landing a flipwhip that clean is nothing special i dont know where I'm at
Neither of them are attending, Semenuk's only doing some events this year - this not being one of them - and Rheeder's injured from his crash at the last contest.
Gutted they won't be there, but very exited to see what Logan Peat can throw down!
a triple whip sucks?.. can you see any other riders pulling them? no, so that shows he's unique and should therefore get the points he deserves for the massive tricks he pulls.
and Peter henke did a few non backflip tricks
