Henrik's lip slide transfer/ Dew tour judging

Im wondering if the judges even realized that he was transferring from the lip of the wall ride over to the rail, because it really wasn't that obvious in the video footage, I noticed but the commentator sure didn't notice. This is pretty creative and gnarly in my opinion, and he didn't do anything special but I'm wondering if the fact that the judges are judging from the live video stream is hampering their ability to see the tricks. Same goes for Gagnier's run, the camera switches right as he is doing the pretzel part of his first hit, which is ridiculous but you really don't get a sense of what is actually going on. It just looked like he did some crazy inverted cork 7.

Here is an edit henrik put out where you can see actually how crazy the transfer he is doing is.

Also they hyped that the commentators were going to be good, even when they were paying attention there were numerous times where he said that a 4 was a 2 and other mistakes that the average person could point out.
 
definitely didnt see that in the livecast. That was tight. Surely if he would have landed EVERY FEATURE he would've made it. Emphasis on EVERY FEATURE.
 
More teton people?

No, guys over at teton are too busy skinning random peaks and grabbing face shots to give a shit about some rollerblader on skis. Hate to break it to ya but the majority of them don't give a SHIT about park skiing.
 
you took that post the wrong way. he meant that the announcers probably were more interested in skinning and face shots, but they were stuck commentating on park skiing
 
So you think dew tour hired some granola that doesn't give a shit about park skiing to judge the event?

They're dumb, but not THAT dumb.
 
I am in fact a "teton" person, and I can confirm that we were all indeed busy skinning random peaks and getting faceshots yesterday during the event.

That said, Hendrik fell so why does it matter? Had he stomped his run I'm sure he would have been top 5.
 
Wow, sucks to be you. While you're off skinning shitty peaks and getting faceshots I'll be in the park doing some REAL skiing.
