Semenuks run put my faith and interest back into slope style. To me in the last years it has been to focused on doing the most insane tricks , regardless of how smoothly executed and well landed it was , but this run was packed with insane moves and with a Trails type flow and style to it . In my opinion his run was as close to perfect as you can get.

semunuk didnt even need to push himself too hard to win, i wish messere didnt fall and forced brandon to giver

True, he can do more. But maybe it was the course.. only he can tell. And i must say also, the course was sicker a few years ago. but ey, maybe we are pushing the bar to high.. this is already HUGE!

Dusterr (Jul 27, 2011 at 12:41)

In my opinion the course looked good but the course was to short. And i miss the drop out of the forest were berrecloth did a huge 360 in 2005. Another thing i want to say is that i dont agree with you bigburd, 15 year old messere shows what this is all about, pushing it with hardcore style. We all know what got all of us pumped, it was his run, becouse he blew us away. A run like semenuk did is good for the points but wasnt any new for us. But i still have to say i like semenuk more now then before and he deserves the win, plus he has awesome style!

id have to say i agree with bigburd. big tricks are nice, but i hate when tricks are givin to people when theyve barely rode it out. example would be the frontflip whip in best trick video where he just happens to sit on the bike. i love watching big tricks but when you have such flow and all tricks dialed like brandon, that takes my full respect

Dusterr (Jul 27, 2011 at 18:07)

brycebiking101, thats what i was commenting on teva best trick video and a guy wrote a comment, step 1: negprop dusters comment, he got 34 + props, and a top position comment. I got 134 neg props!

I agree with you, he's tricks were crazy but the style wasnt good.

O1D4 (Jul 27, 2011 at 23:09)

I believe he won it for his double downside 360 whip and not the front whip...

hoolydooly (Jul 27, 2011 at 23:20)

Dusterr, I proped you. no problem.

Today's good deed: Check.

brycebiking101 (Jul 28, 2011 at 5:57)

ptrikz (Jul 27, 2011 at 10:07)

messere did the best trick with the fronty off a flat drop.

newworlddisorder (Jul 27, 2011 at 10:38)

that was nothin compared to cmacs super fronty

andrewgrant (Jul 27, 2011 at 15:25)

After NWD10, everyone knew he'd be busting those out in competition this year. I wasn't really surprised. that being said, I wasn't any less stoked when he busted it out!

BloodnoseThePirate (Jul 27, 2011 at 16:42)

I thought it was a great course, I mean the riders did design the course. People are saying they didn't like the course but that is what the riders like to ride. Great contest and the judges got it right. Cant wait till next year.

Liggster (Jul 27, 2011 at 17:04)

Totally insane moves by the riders!! How far can the sport evolve...... At only 15 God knows how good he will be by the time he's 20!! As for crashing its all about pushing yourself and crashes are bound to happen ...... its all about progression!! :-D

ChinoJ10 (Jul 27, 2011 at 16:47)

One of the craziest crankworx events to this date ! Every rider was throwing down , I kinda thought Messere was going to throw a tuck at the hip boost, it looked like he was tucking . Thanks to all the riders who made it crazy ! Cant wait for next year

alexrieger94 (Jul 27, 2011 at 13:54)

Sounds like the announcer snorted a line of crack before the event.

ENJOY!

I know i'll probs get loads of neg props for this, but tbh I think the course was way better last year

jackonmabike (Jul 27, 2011 at 10:40)

Haha no neg props but I think last years course was too focused on features and not on jumps, this one was far more jumpy and flowy. Also less riders crashed this year, whereas last year many riders crashed because of the difficulty of the course.

boostmaster (Jul 27, 2011 at 13:38)

to me it seems more riders crashed this year, especially during the super finals and the second runs

Joebohobo FL (Jul 27, 2011 at 13:40)

yeh i thought more crashed this year, and yeh i supposed thats what i prefered about it last year how it was mainly features and not many normal jumps

kona620 (Jul 27, 2011 at 17:30)

the corse was biult alot better for the riders to be able to push them selves more and throw down the course was supposed to be mega trickable i loved it compared to last year

jdotr (Jul 27, 2011 at 10:50)

had no idea messere was so young! dudes like the brosnan/buchanan of the ss field! hes so sick!

s21l1 (Jul 27, 2011 at 17:45)

kona620 (Jul 27, 2011 at 17:31)

artridersierpc (Jul 27, 2011 at 11:34)

So crazy, the best bike event ever!

snook (Jul 27, 2011 at 14:38)

Where was Soderstrom this year?

amacdonald (Jul 29, 2011 at 14:16)

He had to drop out due to injury

madmon (Jul 27, 2011 at 16:01)

SO COOL TO SEE SEMENUK KILL IT................MAJOR PROPS TO ALL RIDERS

johnmorrison (Jul 27, 2011 at 22:25)

well that didn't suck.

pokalface (Jul 27, 2011 at 15:45)

reecewallace (Jul 27, 2011 at 18:59)

So gnarly

anguswyatt (Jul 27, 2011 at 9:37)

semenuks run was good, but nothing special and didnt really desevre first place

messere was far better in my opinion

21 1

stefkears (Jul 27, 2011 at 9:44)

dude semenuks run was the best by a long way. So techy, he barred into the fruit bowl and three barred out. No one was laying down combos as well!

elgoogyug (Jul 27, 2011 at 9:45)

stefkears- agreed, semenuks run had way more tricks, more tecky, and super clean.

amacdonald (Jul 27, 2011 at 9:53)

Ya Semenuk killed it he was the smoothest by a long shot and really techy, he won for a reason.

Nyson098 (Jul 27, 2011 at 9:55)

@ anguswyatt, its probably because how smooth his run looked its like he didnt do much but he tricked everything he could.

neallynberg (Jul 27, 2011 at 9:57)

I really wish we could have seen what was coming next in Messere's run after he crashed. I be it would have been pretty rad. Semenuk was laying it down though.

anguswyatt (Jul 27, 2011 at 10:13)

yeh fair enough, dont actually ride any DJ so just like an outside opinion really.

mackster23 FL (Jul 27, 2011 at 10:22)

It would have been sweet if Messere hadn't crashed and thrown it down. That would have forced Semenuk to throw down even harder. Maybe a 720 somewhere in there.

whitetux (Jul 27, 2011 at 12:57)

Also how clean was Semenuk's flip whip, it was like perfect. If you look at messere's he doesn't quite get the pedals properly, but semenuk's is flawless!

brycepiwek (Jul 27, 2011 at 15:08)

neallynberg - I'm good friends with Anthony and he was telling me what his run would look like if he stomped everything. When he crashed on the hip boost he was trying to do a Tuck No-Hander on it & then barspin into the satellite to tailwhip out then another flipwhip. But I still had know idea he was going to freakin' frontflip the first drop!

neallynberg (Jul 27, 2011 at 16:50)

^^ ya it was rad
