Wtf WSI big air judging...

LJ just stomped a dub 16 and it only scored 83. Whatever judging in comps always sucks dong.
 
so funny how everyone bitches about hucked spins winning comps. now you're bitching about smoother spins beating hucked tornadoes. sure that dub 14 was more technical, but it looked like shit.
 
I think that, for the most part, the judging was pretty good. I think Tim got kinda screwed, but judging will never be perfect.

Even though it was the "same old"... you gotta admit - Bobby's dub misty was stomped! Vincent's first bio thing was super sick and Henrik had the blunt down. JF had the blunt but couldn't get the super clean landing... and again - Tim had the blunt nice and stomped it clean.

only watched the finals, and that's my take on the matter.
 
Holy shit bobby won with a trick that is two years old. A 14 year old has landed the sw dub 14, and a sw dub 12 wins over some of the most original, styley skiing ever.

Vincent deserced the win imo, absoultuely slayed it, followed by LJ. Im tried of the same guys winning comps based on reputation
 
people are just stating thier opinions on the matter. no shit its a contest but it doesnt mean the public cant have an opinion on who placed where
 
To everyone saying that BB shouldnt have won,Yeah Henriks trick was super smooth and really sick, but the sw dub misty 12 is way more technical and he stomped the shit out of it. Also, its a big air comp, not a style comp. Spin to win is always how its going to be. get the fuck over it
 
absolutely. it should have (imo) been henrik, vincent, brown. hate on bobby all u want but its a solid trick that is clean, for the most part.
 
gus not making finals sucked. not too much excitement other than lj's dub 16 and vincent's crazy rodeo spins. You knew that colby and byron and schuster were just gonna throw semi stomped stock dubs with semi grabbed stock grabs. Bummer. Would rather see people that are gonna try something to make you go WHAT
 
Vincent Ganier's first run was a dub wobble octo 12. How is that not more techical than a switch dub misty 12 mute that we have all seen a hundred times by five different people. If a trick is landed for the first time ever in a comp it deserves extra recognition, silar to a trick that has been seen hundreds of times deserves point taken off...
 
yeah bobby was stomped and ill but its getting kind of annoying having him win all these comps with the same trick when the other guys (henrik and gagnier) are innovating and stomping
 
Vincents trick was super sick and my favorite trick of the comp when style comes into play but the judging is never going to change
 
next year's set up:

it kinda made sense to me. lj did the sickest trick of the night, with a weak mute grab. everyone did double ten mute grab. some did dub ten blunt. points were awarded to lil gagnier for double grab wierd cork 12. brown won with a trick that no one else did that was grabbed and great amplitude.
 
hating on triples should be a bannable offense at this point imo.

your jokes are played out and not funny; no one gives a shit if you think they look like "aerials". skiing is going to go in the direction of more rotations/spins just like it always has; whether you like it or not.

and if you think you can do something cooler and more technical than a triple cork/flip go for it. i'll film you.
 
i'm not sure if that's directed at me or not, but i'm not hating at all. the new big air set up looks SICK! so many different take offs, shit's going to get creative!
 
I'll say this. Bobby tried and failed on that monotonous fucking double misty high mute that everyone and their uncle has seen him do, twice.
Meanwhile, kids like Henrik and Tim were grabbing blunt on dub 12's they carved into and edged out of after they stomped them. Like, they clearly perfected every nuance of these dubs. None of this full body extension takeoff on a hucked switch dub misty to flat based leg squat landing, which I personally think looks a lot less aesthetically pleasing than basically any other winning big air trick due to the blatant gymnastic feel it has to it, but I digress.
Then there's Vincent, who managed to find an axis I've never seen before. It scared me to watch him halfway through his trick because I didn't know if he was gonna dub it or what. Ultimately, he stomped so clean, and grabbed octo, ha, and I simply had to concede that the comp was over, and Vinny had gold.
Then Bobby motherfucking Brown, the household name, the skier that transcends skiing, landed that predictable, albeit impressive in an athletic sense, double misty 12. Comp over.
I'm not one to hate on judging, because I'm generally over it anyways, but for some reason it really irked me that Bobby gets the default win when he finally lands his default trick, while others are actually innovating and never truly have a chance anyways.
