if anyone on here was in the finals of r2r, and wanted to WIN, they would be tryin the same shit
there were snowboarding judges who didnt know what was tech on a ski and what was not so
doing a huge 450 on is the best way to get their attention and impress them rather than a steezy tail press or something,
impressing the judges anyway possible is the key to winning comps, and in this case, its doing a 450 or 630 and what not
so if anyone in that comp planned on podiuming and getting $$$, then they were throwin huge 450s
