How to beat Shaun White's perfect Score of 100

Drag your knuckles on 7 hits and you will get a score of 107. Extra points for ugly pants and red hair.
 
i like how he only strait airs the first hit. i fucking hate hit so much. The judges r deffs getting paid off by Oakley or something. during the dew tour he hit his butt but still got a 96. scotty lago hit his butt and got like a 65 or somethin, fuckin bs!!

YO FUCK THAT GUY!!!
 
I don't think Oakley sucks up to him that much. It's x games/espn themselves who are giving him such high points just because he's whitey tighty
 
yesterday im in my room, and i hear my dad screaming at me "COLIN COME HERE QUICK, RUN, HURRY UP!" and i start freaking out like the dog is dead or dads having a heart attack or something. so i go sprinting into his bedroom shouting "what, what? whats the matter?" to find him sitting on the couch watching the Xgames, and he says "shaun white is starting his run, i didnt want you to miss it! i thought youd be watching this, isnt he your favorite?"

-_____-
 
yeah, fair enough, i didn't mean that i think oakley was, i was just saying one of his sponsors might be and they're one of the only sponsors of him i know haha
 


"These scores go up to 110."

not sure what videos you guys are watching but i didnt see him drag his hands. but that wasnt a perfect 1260 or whatever he did, which a perfect score would lead you to believe.
 
He did touch his hand for like a split second, but really, WHO GIVES A FUCK!? He absolutely blew away the competition. Nobody even came close. I don't know why everyone is crying about him getting a 100. It's just a score. He had already won, and he threw down a better run than his last one. He was going 3 feet higher than everyone else on every hit, and throwing tricks that nobody else could throw. There was no way he should have lost. Don't let your unfounded hatred for Shaun White blind you (not you personally, everyone in general). He was the best and deserved the win. The 100 is irrelevant.
 
Perfect scores have been given out before, as well as 99s, 98.5s etc. It doesn't mean the run was perfect, it means it was the highest he could have possibly been scored relative to any of the other riders. Second place had a 93, and compared to what I Pod did to get a 93, hell yeah I believe Shaun deserved a 100. He crushed second place.
 
I gotta agree with you man i can't think of an instance were a perfect score was handed out. It just shows that all you need to do is throw as many doubles as humanely possible and you'll win x. Which is ridiculous, look at bowmans run for silver, he only threw one double yet he still beat out rolland and wallace, who threw more than one. To give white a perfect score is just ridiculous cause where does snowboarding pipe go now? Did the judges at x just get to decide that this is where progression stops? It's just sad that perfect scores are probably gonna start getting handed out more frequently now, and in reality the run wasn't perfect he did drag his hands and his first hit was a straight air.
 
I mean, bobby threw two new tricks that no one had seen before. He landed them super clean, so I think a perfect score is not crazy.
 
If Shaun White getting a perfect score bothers you that much than go outside. I never would have guessed that snowboarding x games half pipe would be a joke...oh wait they ride Shaun's dick hard every year.
 
haha, dude he did a trick that scored him a 50. Next run he did the same trick with an extra 180. What the hell were the judges supposed to do? As a judge you never give out a perfect score because someone can and will always to better.
 
As I said, I don't believe a 100 necessarily means "perfect run" but rather it was the highest any rider could have been scored relative to anyone else in the comp. Travis Pastrana got a 99 for MotoX freestyle back in like 1999, and there have been far better runs given lower scores more recently, but at the time, he was THAT much better than everyone else. The same thing applies. A 100 this year could be a 94 next year depending on how much the sport progresses. It's all relative to the other riders in the comp.
 
They better not be obligated to give out one perfect score every year now. Halldor got a perfect score a few years back in big air, and look his popularity skyrocketed. I'd hate for them to give perfect scores just to boost athletes they feel are marketable
 
Only in the olympics and qualifiers. Not in the X games. Notice that lots of other people did not throw straight airs.
 
You took that part of my sentence out of context. You're scored relative to the other riders in the comp. If they had given I Pod say, a 95 for his run, they would have no choice but to give Shaun White a 96 or higher, because his run was quite clearly better. White already had a 94, and he added another huge trick to his run, one which, had it been added to another rider's score (such as I Pod) would have bumped their score a lot higher. To give him a 95-97 on top of his 94, after he just landed another banger trick at the end of his run wouldn't make any sense, because if a rider with an 88 or so landed that, they would be bumped up into the mid/high 90s. I understand what you're saying, but I think what I'm saying makes sense as well. The judging system is flawed, but there's nothing any of us can do about it.
 
I was talking to my friend today about how this whole 100 thing is complete bullshit when this other kid walks up and says "how is this bullshit, who the fuck else in the whole world can even come close to doing a double cork 1260? Needless to say I just walked away, hating humanity a little bit more
 
pretty much

every year each sport progresses and you don't know how far it is gonna progress in the future so every year it's being judged on some criteria or standard that the riders are expected to be riding at. for example, say it is expected for the rider to do a dub on every hit, that along with other expectations of style and amplitude would give them a score, let's say a 75. then throwing in triples would bump it up a few points as would going bigger and whatnot. eventually it will top out and it starts to get based on how the other riders are.

so it kinda seems like it starts out being judged on standards and a set scoring system but after a few runs it turns into 'did he go bigger/more tech?'
 
#1 rule for judging ANYTHING: NEVER give someone a perfect score. Because there is always something they could improve.
 
Every one of these Shaun White threads just SCREAM jealousy. If it would have been a skier getting 100, people here would be so pumped on it. If Tom would have gotten 100 in slope, kids would be jerking off to their keyboards all night long. Fucking get over it.
 
I'm going to have to respectfully disagree on this one. When Bobby Brown got a 100 in big air a couple years back, people on this site were pretty perplexed on his perfect score, in fact most members believing that perfect scores should never be given out. People were stoked on Bobby stomping the new trick (dub misty 14 if I remember correctly), but many did not agree about the score he got. He won the event no doubt, but a 100? No.
 
you shouldn't be scored relative to what the other riders do... how would you score the first person then? How would you like it if you were writing a school report, spent hours on it, did a bang up solid job on it, meeting all the requirements of the assignment, but then some keener went insanely above and beyond the call of the assignment, the teacher happens to mark their assignment first, and gives everyone else crap grades, including the people that met every requirement of the assignment but did not go insanely above and beyond.

now i understand that this doesnt totally correlate, and that obviously there's some debatable points there, but it just seems to me that you shouldn't be scored relative to the other riders, you should be scored straight up on your run. Do an amazing job, get a high score, but if you falter at all, you shouldn't get 100. Again, in school, teachers generally hate giving out a hundred, cause it implies perfection and you failed no where. His run was not perfect, therefore he should not have been scored 100.
 
well at least in upper high school and university... where it matters. and i'd say the x games matter as one of the heights of recognition of achievement in this sport.
 
Hahahahahah Yeah I need explanation on this one too.

If you scored 100% on a test It means you learned, and if you learn it means the teacher is doing a good job. I dont think they get mad for doing their jobs.

 
haha what? i had plenty of finals in college where a perfect score was totally achievable. it's possible to get a perfect score on the SAT. i don't know what you're talking about.
 
you have to remember that theres the thing called progression. a 100 today will be a 70 in 10 years, and while maybe he didnt deserve a perfect score, it doesnt mean that that was the best run that can ever be performed. For example, take tanner hall's 2009 xgames run. he scored a 92 and threw one dub. no hate on tanner intended but today i doubt that run would even get a 90, a mere 3 years later.
