Nah, I think this is the perfect event for Brendog. The event is called 'Speed and Style', not 'Speed and squeeze in as many tricks as you can'. Brendog is very fast and very stylish!
I like it when things are mixed up- when else would you get Lagondeguy and Fairclough shredding side by side? Crankworx is like a massive MTB party- gutted I'm not there- but stoked for our sport that this event hits the mark every year.
The higher the difficulty of the trick should warrant more deduction of time. A simple win or lose doesn't cut it when someone is throwing a 3-whip or super flip.
Fairclough is no ss rider but those guys aren't UCI WC riders either. I think its cool to see a guy whose main discipline is DH hang with some of the big dogs.
