Video: Top 3 Slopestyle Runs from Crankworx Rotorua 2022

 If he wanted it he should have not settled for it on his second run and thrown down a better run than the first; even if it counts or not. this would prove the position you suggest.

 @scott-townes: Yea, i rewatched the top three runs side by side pausing as judges do, having multiple screens to compare the detail and differentiate what is the more technical run; as opposed to the most flashy or hyped looking run. With that, its conclusive Emil secured his win. Bringer definitely had a baller run but he was mainly doing back flips and double BF's, which are kinda getting old imo for a technical judged sport.

 @likeittacky: Bringers run had minimal flow tho, he almost paused mid run

 The problem is that Emil makes nearly impossible tricks look easy. No one in the field is doing half the tricks he is

 Trick by trick Emil deserved the win:
360 tuck > flatdrop BF
450 whip to inward table = 450 double tw
oppo truck to double downside >> double bf tuck NH
BS on to downside TW off > double downside tw gap
Sui up to 3 down oppo whip up to 3 down
nosebonk table = nosebonk tobbogan
Massive tobbogan 3 > massive 3
oppo 3 bar to bar = double BF (arguably Emil here too, just not as flashy)
360 triple whip >>> BF double tw

Emil wins on tech, variety, & style (& amplitude arguably)

 @adamkat:
You need to take your hands off the bars to do a tuck, Emil didn't. I would dock points for that, clearly a mistake, you can see he attempts too but doesn't.
450 DW beats the 450 Tw to invert. Trust me it does.
Emil spun regular not oppo. Double flip no hander has way bigger repercussions if it goes wrong. Timmer wins here.
Wall ride is a wash IMO
Timmer wins up with the oppo whip. Emil wins down as his spin was OPPO. Kind of wash but in Timmer's favour.
Another wash on the hitching post.
Timmer went much higher on the spin, call it a wash if not in timmers favour.
double flip 100P beats oppo drunk driver.
Flip Triple whip beats a flip double whip/

I think Timmer had the better over all run, Won the first 3 features. Washed the middle. Won on the step down. Emil had an obvious mistake up top on the drop. The flip triple whip didnt carry enough IMHO on its own to surpass Timmer.

Had Emil had to take a second run, did the exact same run but cleaned it up. I would place him 1st.

Emil has the same issue I had with opposite tricks. he makes them look too easy.

More unpopular opinion, I thought Fedco was 3rd.

 @mitch1616: 450 whip to inward is definitely deserves a higher score than a 450 double whip

 @mitch1616: ain't no way emil and bringer were even on the wall feature. There is a reason that no one tricked onto it, and only seen tables/bars/tucks off.

Emil's 450 whip to unturndown beat a 450 double whip anyday

And no way can you say that truck double down whip is better than a double flip tuck. Just because emil makes it look easy, doesn't mean he shiuld be scored less.

 @mitch1616: judges also can't dock points for assumptions. Sure emil missed the tuck on the drop and you can clearly see that was the intention, but in reality he did a nollie 3 drop that was just kinda bar humped.

 @ratherberidin: Sure they Can, and they do. Emil tried to let go of the bars on the 3 tuck down the drop. An attempt is an attempt, regardless. you see him release the bars in his run. If you do it in practice; its expected, especially since you can see him go for it.

And yes i can say double flip no hands beats, truck double down whip. Truck to down whip, done, Never done a double flip, much rather toss another whip than take my hands off.

Putting a run together isnt easy, never has been, never will. Emil does make it look easy. and that hurts him sometimes. I know the feeling.

 @mitch1616: you need glasses if you think his hands came off the bar

 @ratherberidin: unfortunately already wear them.

 Yeah I see what you are saying, Bringer has this ferocious style that is just an explosion of raw power! It's like the bike will separate from the bars when he does a tailwhip lol. Emil is just like a programmed robot, perfect execution and effortless style. It really does look "easy" for him.

 @sanchofula I think the judging was fair. Emil is so technical but so smooth it looks like he is doing nothing. He goes higher than everyone, flows better, more combos just a formula for winning.
