Speed and style is a f*cking joke...when a 4x racer doesn't need to trick to win, it's a waste of time. Every year it's the same joke of a format, you can only pull back 1 second per jump (assuming a perfect score), so 2 seconds over the entire course, any 4x racer worth their salt beats anyone capable of pulling tricks that score 50+ by more than 2 seconds will automatically win. Yet the commentators act so surprised when the guy thats 2 seconds down doesn't win the heat.

It's called speed AND style, if you can win with one, or the other, it's garbage.

Not to mention the girls that want equal prize money, and recognition yet only 2 ladies even bother competing, and theres not a single trick thrown, take a hand off the bars, or pull an x-up at least. It's pretty obvious why the prize money differs.

back flip -5 sec 360 -4 sec 720 -8 sec no hander -2 sec cashroll -10 sec ... or something similar, maybe would be fair

All speed and no style....

Seems like maybe the scoring should be capped at max +2 seconds for speed, as that is the max for style. Otherwise there can be a pretty heavy advantage to speed.

So the guy that pulls quadruple backflips (which take 1 second each to physically complete) on both jumps will lose every time. Awesome.

ldhbaker FL (Mar 9, 2016 at 22:40)

Exactly. Ridiculously heavy advantage to speed...

dont miss a day of education for it, but repalys of the DH would be awsome.

Slavik jumped the gate too, I believe that's why Leron was giving them a hard time. Leron jumped first but both did false start for sure.

I would have liked to see a reset. I think it would have been a little more fair since both jumped it.

As soon as you are someone go in the corner of you write it's really hard not to go yourself too. If he hadn't been disqualified from his heat I think he would have won. He was so fast and was throwing pretty big too

If I remember right for dual slalom riders often get one false start reset and then if they jump the gun again it's DQ. This sort of solves the problem of both riders starting early since it's the second rider often goes just because the first did.

I don't get this jumping the gate thing. BMX solved this years ago with random starts.

Lyle throwing the double whip on the final run! To bad he didn't do that for the first of them too!

The replay shows Adrian Loron knocked the gate off without the beep. He's a very competitive rider but he should know how to admit his mistake.

ldhbaker FL (Mar 9, 2016 at 22:33)

They both did, though.

thedeathstar (Mar 9, 2016 at 22:47)

The gate shouldn't have fallen down. Rather than disqualify him they should have made them redo the run since it was the equipment that messed up. But scoring and timing with Speed and Style has always been a shit show at Crankworx, so I'm not sure what I'm expecting.

Why not just call it pump track with jumps challenge if you can win it without any tricks?

It was really quite painful to watch in person with ad breaks in the live show and fill in segments when they played clips for the online audience. It felt really drawn out and quite a few people were leaving before the end.

It's just not the same without Kelly McGarry and Paul Bas. So much respect to both riders. I'm sad.

If it was 24 hr clock it would be 2400hrs. The only way there would be 3 zeros if it was 0001hrs as in 12:01
