X games judging

[alztar]

This ain't no hate thread its just a comment on the judging of the qualifiers
Does nobody else feel that the "big names" seem to get through far easier than the others?
For example Bobby's first run, was poor, then Henrik came down and did a far superior run ( Even Mike Douglas said it would score above Bobby) then Henrik was a place below Bobby?
sponsors influence on judging style?
sorry if its been commented on before

Although your point at the time isn't right, looking back Jossi didn't get through and he is a big name

i also noticed the judges are treating it like a big air comp. and not much else discipline is being evaluated

 

[Bar_Down]

lol what. if that was the case, b-dog wouldnt have gotten through

i thought the judging was pretty fair, guys who came off rails early scored low. i thought gus's third run was better than his first ottherwise top notch...

To be fair I think you're right, it was just at the time I felt Bobby did well for the run he did. The judging on the rails need to be improved though, I don't think judges care enough for them.
