dude this spin to win shit everyonme is complaining about is gay. There is a fine line between spin to win and great style. His 1440 was barely even spun hard, he didnt even huck it like most spin to winners, and he put a sweet grab and style in it.
its a best trick comp, you want someone to throw steezy sw cork 7's....then he wont win..bottom line. These guys want to win, thats why they entered. Somethin like a sw 1440 is soemthign new and extremely difficult...exactly what is needed to win a best trick comp.
its not like comps have been seein sw 1440's this whole time. its not the older spin to win because no one's throwin a smooth sw. 1440. schiller did it. give him the win. if he throws it again at X Games, I dont know if it will land him 1st place only because he threw it once before (us open just now). if someone throws a smooth sw 10 and schiller throws a new sw. 1440 truckdriver or blunt. i'll give the win to schiller again. its all about being original and differentiating from stock grabs.
yeah theres a difference when throwing the biggest spin possible in hopes of landing it and throwing the biggest spin possible with style and knowing you're gunna land it. the latter is what TJ did and it was rediculously good looking and amazing. he deserved the win
