I agree with suicide downhiller defo a tsunami... calling it a superman is almost an insult to how unbelievably sick that looks. Nice to see soderstrom doing well and semenuk not winning
How do the riders hold out for that many jumps? I mean, thats ridiculous that they can stomp that many tricks in a row! that was like 3 or 4 flairs from pilgrim alone!
I'm sorry, i missed the live stream, but would anyone care to fill me in on why Messere didn't win. I mean, a frontflip and double back!?!?!? was the rest of his run crap or did he crash or something?
he fell and missed a whole section But am I the only one freaking out over pilgrims "mini" Flair?? that thing was insane! Soderstroms 360 in and a triple whip. Insane..
@Bjammin The runs were not about 1 trick, when you watched Sam's runs, in fact all the top 3 they were different class. Variety, style, smoothness, implementation, how they used the course etc. were all scored Messere's street section was poor, his sketchy (comparative) landings compared to the top 3 also got him marked down. He was 20 points off the pace, the judging was good as the 100 points was broken into sections and the scores for each section were put up live as the riders completed the section. He struggled to maintain his flow, from memory, missing the dirt section on run 1 and nearly failing to get onto the bowl on run 2, where others were tricking up onto the bowl.

i hate watching Sam Pilgrim ride, hes a BMXer stuck on a hard tail, he only did well here since it wasnt a true mtb course.
I'd Like to see him try and ride Rampage
While I love watching Semenuk ride, Pilgrim kills it to just in a different way. I think mostly due to the fact that there isn't many mountains where he came from.
Is anywhere video of Anthony? I didnt watch live and here i see him (at least i think its him) he did a double backflip and another flat frontlip and im wondering why wasnt he on the podium...

The great thing about this competition is that 1 trick, 1 style was never going to win it, they were all pushing hard.
