Ranchstyle 2012 - And the Winner is ...

 Morpheus cycles are gonna kill it this year. Congrats to anthony! Can't believe wyper got best trick with that cordova flip. I mean its a crazy trick and props for trying but pretty sloppy for a best trick. Pedals should be a must in a best trick comp, they are there for a reason.

 Good for Morpheus Cycles having 3 riders in the top 4

 Yea Casey! Killing it!

 As long as Morpheus keeps supporting the up-and-comers (well not really, but the guys who haven't been dominating for the past few years), they're going to blow up big. They're doing something that other new companies, with way more start up money, have tried but bankrupted to do which is to get a baller-ass team. Hell I haven't heard of Morpheus before this past year but I bet you that they will be a staple bike brand in the next 3 years... regardless if they have the dough to keep anthony on the team or not. Having an eye for talent like that isn't something you get through market research, haha.

zac, i agree with you but that's what happens every time when you allow popular vote for any contest. There are WAY more kids out there that think the best tricks are the "coolest" looking ones and other factors such as technicality, style and actually landing the tricks are thrown out the window. I mean not to say it wasn't technically difficult but it doesn't hold a straw to a NO-HANDER front flip by any means.

 yeah definitely. I'm not trying to take any credit away from the trick or justin for doing it. If it was landed clean than it was definitely a contender but there is no way it should have beat a perfectly clean frontflip no-hander or a 360 super seater.

 knew someone would say that. I'm not bitching just voicing my opinion, nothing wrong with that. Don't take it the wrong way I just think that a clean frontie tuck should have beat a sloppy cordova flip.

 hahah! this debate was gonna happrn

 As if Wyper won best trick... Yea it was sick! But it was sooooo sloppy...

 Sloppy, tricks that are pulled clean should be the only contenders for BEST TRICK!

 where is semenuk!

 goes to show that about 90% of all Pinkbike users can't even ride bikes and don't know the difference between sick and not sick, style and no style and especially how to judge a trick, even if you do land on the pedals if it doesn't look controlled the whole way through doesn't matter how big the trick is it loses a lot of the wow factor thus making the trick not as exiting and should dock points off the trick. especially in a best trick comp you slip even one pedal the trick should get docked major points.

 i think it's fairly unlikely that 90% of pinkbike users can't ride bikes

 I think he meant to say that 90% of pinkbike users are ignorant teens/pre-teens... it'd make a lot more sense.

 the pinkbike users voted for him though.you cant really change that 90% of teens/pre teens that judged who thought wyper got the trick

 ^ and here comes captain obvious flying into the scene with another astute observation!

 correction* captain awesome ( a lot of people seem to make that mistake )

 didnt wyper win from a mcmetz that he also did earlier and stomped clean?

 where is the video you guys are on about? i wanna see this cordova backflip

 No i ment 90% of all pinkbike users can't ride bikes.. what i mean by that is NO STYLE, if you don't have style then it don't count.

 just be wary sir ChadVoos; style is derived from appropriate fundamental biking skills, or, comes from a lack of a true grasp of appropriate fundamental biking skills. not going against, just saying, some random (or not) rider may be a f*ckin' "cool" shred-gnar-gettin'-bent-daily-dirt-bag-f*ck... but, the style may just be built off of nothing, ergo, no style, just... imitation? idk. again, dont disagree but can't back it up either. ya dig?

 Kinda confused and didn't really get what your trying to say but what I'm trying to say is kids should work on there bike control and style before even thinking about doing tricks

 I hope you're also a strong believer in the 10% rule

 hahahaha TO BOLTS

 It was gnarly wyper, I know I can't do one of dem cordova flips but it looked like a small jump for that trick. Props for riding it out regardless whether you got the pedals or not.

One does not simply "win" on pinkbike without a few kids getting there panties in a knot because "that shouldn't have won"

 word hath born-th

 Messere the man-bear.

 *man bear pig

 yeah, but wyper took it so props to wyper!

 Should have to pull a clean trick for the win

 it wasnt just the cordova that got my vote. I was the combo of throwing the cordova and the heelclicker wraparound thing.

 Yea i agree. Frontie tucks have been around for a while and theres a number of people who can do them. Wyper pulled something you never see ( the whole point of best trick) and he might not have stuck peddles but he landed the trick. A cordova flip is way more technical than a frontie tuck. Props Wyper!!!!!

 hahahaha!!! nicely said dude!!

 YES!! Casey Groves is back!! sick podium

 morpheus team dominating the podium, looking good for them.
