In my opinion there was a heavy pro-Semenuk bias in Crankworx judging in 2017, and the bias cost Emil Joyride that year. Now the tables have turned and there's a lot of pro-Emil bias and it's hurting Godziek.
Don't get me wrong, Emil is arguably the greatest slopestyle rider of all time and I am a huge fan of his style, but in my opinion Godziek put down the best run at Cairns this year. I really hope to see him at the top of the podium the year in Whistler.
Tim Bringer’s run equal Godziek, the begining was way for better, not everyday we see double flip over a big feature follow by a flip double whip to bar
I think Bringer's run should have been scored higher, he was contender for top spot. I also really wish Godziek had landed that trick at the end and forced Emil to step it up. I love the styled out "victory laps" but I'd prefer to see him go absolutely ham instead.
Emile should get sponsored by a big super yacht company. He can sail out among the seagulls and watch them
Soar, like us peasants watch him as he soars at crankworx!
They don't have a comp yet, but I marshalled the Slope course on Tuesday and Harriet and Robin had a go of the course, they hit the features really well!

If anything, with these new more creative courses, slopestyle has been levelling up in recent years.
