There's a lot of talk about Semenuk vs Brage but one thing I don't see being mentioned is that this isn't solely a riding competition - it's also a video edit competition. The video itself - camerawork, angles, music, editing - is all part of the criteria. The filmer also get a medal in this event. Semenuk definitely did some things nobody else on this lineup could do, but (& this is completely subjective) I wasn't a big fan of the editing style & music in Semenuk's vid. The music was very passive, and the camera shots ate up precious time that could've possibly been used for another stunt or 2. Meanwhile, the music in Brage's vid and the more raw look add to the overall feel of his clip a lot. Brage takes the cake in my opinion.

Some would even go as far as to call it a bonk

Why are Swedes so damn good at bar spins?!

It was close, but Emil earned that win.

Who won the Crankworx Rotorua wildcard? Why is nobody talking about that?

@onemanarmy: Dawid got his score because of his straight 360 and his straight backflip. Brett & Emil both combo'd every jump. Emil wasn't underscored at all and his story had nothing to do with it, are you serious dude? Quad truck? Oppo 3 1 foot invert to downside tailwhip? Tailwhip to double bar? Oppo 3 whip to bar? Are you really gonna tell me that wasn't deserving?

I'd assume he's wearing his signature Etnies

1) Szymon Godziek 2) Ethan Nell 3) DJ Brandt

Euthanasia is painless If you crash on these jumps it's going to hurt lmao

Brett would've won if he did more than a barspin up the final step-up, & more than a flip whip on the one jump as well (guessing he was either going for flip whip to bar or flip double whip)
