further more, most local comps won''t have inverts, because they have to be covered by insurance companies, and most local comps cant afford it....
Judging for newschool is so incridebly (sp) fucked up, it's almost always disputed (sp)
Orage big airs are cool because you can invert
Judging can really take the fun and sprite out of the sport,
Un-natural tricks and reverts, and allsorts of other stuff, that most judges can't even comprehend are thrown in the mix, it's too hard to judge most of the time,
the big question is how to score it?
what would a 720-genie score?
even though its fucken crazy and takes mad skill to throw down, do you think judges would give that a better score than a Switch rodeo 7?
no to likely....
and as for switch tricks, the majority of them are far easier to throw, than reg tricks,... the only down fall to them is there blind, and fell really fucked up when your approching a kicker at 60 km an hour,
so what scores higher and why?
Mike nick throws a zero spin tail at the wsi finals,
Technical? Yes
cool looking..... not really, massive props for throwing it in then comp, but did anyone in the crowd understand what it was and how hard it was to throw? no
Why do figure skaters always take off switch?
because it's alot easier to set a big rotation switch,
A regular 1080 is harder than a S/ 1080 mabey someday judges will realize
(Rant)
That's why i like 1/2 BEST
because it's clear as day who should win,
and Jordan Monk did it up last year, Winning the pipe jam, even thought the judges would have loved to have had a bigger name than Jordan win it,
Big ups Monk
