Things judges could hate about Russ Henshaw..

He is too perfect, there is no steeze in landing something perfectly, bring some juice to the table and he has a shot at winning.
 
You're on drugs mate. I am a very close long time friend of Russ's and I know he has done none of the sort. Grew up skiing and living in the same town so I know what he has done within the industry.

He gets ripped off cause he isnt an american for one. Also judges play favourites and tend to look at the more talked about riders e.g wallisch, brown etc. Even though they are still amazing skiers i think thats the reason
 
I think the reason russ gets scored lower is because he only does mutes, he doesn't go big and doesn't do much on rail, i doubt it has anything to do with his name... i mean hes a redbull athlete he's a pretty big name.
 
I didnt really agree with the whole russ getting hated on thing, but after the dew tour and and the most recent x games i'm really seeing it. It seems his runs consistently gets scored a the really low end of the spectrum. I see the point about him not going huge, only grabbing mute, and not have an A+ rail section, but he gets fucked over more than any other competitor. His rails were equal to or greater than geoper and his jumps were steller as always. If your gona over score geopers run than why not give some love to russ who I thought had a very comparable run
 
You see this point, yet you beg to differ with his score? He's an amazing park skier, no doubt, but these three things hold him back.
