Sweet edit, creativity at its finest

@s-wilson: haha I agree , I also think that these guys are more than just showing up there throwing down pretty hard.

@makripper: Yeah no doubt judging is brutally hard, especially with the vast array of trick variables. I think having to throw a score out for a rider in like 1 minute is pretty hard to do, but if they take longer it would be pretty boring. Maybe they could score the first round after all riders have come down then they have an idea of what's being offered by the riders, run 2 could be traditional . Maybe more of an overview with the riders walk them through some theoretical lines and get a general idea of how the riders would score that run. Maybe even an app that the competitors could use to rate other riders runs and the judges can have that as a tool. Who knows , maybe the athletes are fine with things , I'm sure there so stoked to land there runs.

I personally think slopestyle judging is a nightmare , we all know the countless times it seems like riders are not placed where they should be , even riders who crashed huge have a better score then somebody who had a descent run. its all over the place. I think the part I'm most bothered by is how low they score the competitors overall, how discouraging is tit as a rider to see a low score like a 50 or 60 even though you through out a pretty solid run. All use Dj Brandt as an example he got a 54.4 and that was a pretty sick run. It be good to see these runs scored higher like in the 70's make everything a little closer but more importantly when your throwing down risking it you deserve to see a higher score, regardless if its a winning run or not, talk about a slap in the face. I get that overall being a judge is difficult but they need to figure out a way to fix the issues.

So good!!
