Why did offaxis 1080s get low scores?

[theswede]

I can't understand why offaxis 1080s like Thovex underflip 1080 or jons cork 1080 did not get higer scores than other peoples regular 1080s(Hatveits, tjs, gagniers). Of course maybe they did more difficult grabs and held them a bit longer, but still doing them offaxis with still alot of style must be alot harder. Anybody else agree?

 

[theswede]

no thoughts?

 

[flatspinblunt]

I concur

[KRASHED]

I never saw X-Games but that sounds like pure grade A bullshit

 

[BmillsSkier]

I agree, I thought Candide's was much more technical and he went bigger. Even ESPN's crappy camera work caught that he hung in the air longer. His jump reminded me of his 110' underflips in Superpark the movie. Sick style.

nobody did a good off axis 10, thats why the ygot judjed bad

 

[Edward.]

idk, the judges r not really good judges, i forget what everyone did, but i remember seeing a really tweaked grab and a switch unnatural 10, i think those 2 shouldve won

 

[DynastarriderGP]

fucking Candide did not do a cab underflip 10 he did a cab cork 10 jesus christ do you beleive everything the commentators say?

 

[dweezileast]

i have a sickness, and the only cure is more switch 10's

 

[hucker22]

it had to do with how long the grabs were held. tj held that tail soooo long

 

[DynastarriderGP]

^think again it was the nose he was grabbing

 

[hucker22]

ok w/e but it was long

 

[fulltiltrocker]

Hahahaha I'm alone and that made me laugh.

 

[freezed]

hahah

Candid had a really tweaked out off axis 10 and he had a grab in it. As for level of difficulty certainly harder than a straight up 10 he should have had at the least second if not 1st the judges just didn't know what the hell they were looking at pretty much.

The x games were really good.

 

[RoCkTwiNTiPs1919]

he missed the grab, but the spin was sick.

 

[pierceme]

thats all they were judging on though. It didnt matter what kind of 10 you threw, u just had to have the longest grab in with it.

 

[hollygrove]

I still think it;s stupid how they replaced slopestyle with this best trick. Slopestyle was way more technical, and the course looked sick. I'm miffed about that.

 

[MitchPee]

i wish they would have told us who the "expert" judges were

 

[poopdonkey]

jon got fucked yet again.

 

[cobra_commander]

an udner flip is really just a super corked out spin, so if something is barly an underflip alot of people just think it was corked,

 

[Alkyy]

^thats not at all an underflip

 

[zmanalex]

Who fuckin cares what its called, simple as this, Canide was upside down and his trick was strait up ill nasty but he got screwed. All you fools be saying oh but he didnt hold the grab, so? He did probaly the most difficult axis, most origional, and biggest 1080 of them all, that french fool got robbed

 

[Ruski]

i didnt even see candide for some reason, was i watchin the same xgames?

oh and do we ever know who the judges are?

 

[zmanalex]

^ yeah it was shane scgogs (sp?) and eric pollard and a couple other guys who i dont know.

 

[E_M_P]

who the fuck sais miffed? but candide should have def won it, and if bibby landed then he should have took it!!!

 

[RichardCranium]

corks and flips aint shit unless you grab them skis tight like your wang, kids.

 

[Redstar]

Really nice flat spins are pretty hard to do, maybe?

 

[stuart]

That suprises me that pollard would judge good for everyone doing sw 10s i bet he would have jugded higher for a sick sw 7 like pep
