so louie vito just got fucked, and the x games are totally rigged, run was cleaner than whites, smae tricks and yet he places 5th, when white almost falls has to drag his hand and still scores 4 pts higher than anyone else. i hate sport that are judged, shows that its really not about who had the best run
IDEA: SKIERS JUDGE BOARDERS AND BOARDERS JUDGE SKIERS! Thinks about it. They all compete in the Super Pipe and they all should know the other sport well enough to judge for it!
vito shoulda got 3rd... he didnt do 3 10s and not as big... but as a person... vito is the man... chilled with him at windells quite a bit... saw his name on tv and was like DAMN i know that guy!!!
he did drag his hand and didn't skid. he deserved to win he clearly had the biggest and most tech run. plus he is the only snowboarder to have a back side ten. Even if he got over scored on his last run his first run clearly won and you obviously know nothing about snowboarding
it was not as smooth as scotty lagos first run
scottys first run was so grossly underscored it isnt even funny, Im glad it atleast held up for 3rd, the judges didnt score anyone higher than him because they knew they fucked up bad... anti auttis run was better than whites run if you wanna say they both touched down antis was BIGGER, longer grabs and more tech minus the no grab hucked b/s 10
fuck shaun white and everyone that is up that kids ass... louie vito, scotty, and annti deserved wayyyy higher scores that shoulda been atleast on par with white if not better
lago's first hit was the best trick of the contest but he didn't have the tech combo's of white. I would have liked to see him higher on the podium and he also was a little underscored but the person with the best run tonight one
lemme break it down for you, augguires first run beat his, augguire... huge backside air, bs 5, fs 10, sw10, 9 to 9, shauns first run... backside air, 9 10 10 9 mctwist (I think)... I thought agguire went bigger and had a better link of tricks
and as far as the biggest, annti auttis first 10 was as big as the first hit straight airs, the judging was fucked and you know it
wow, i thought this was going to be some racist rant
but i definately feel that shaun white is treated/judged differently. Mason Aguirre's (sp?) first run was sooo much cleaner and better than shaun's in my opinion and he got a 86, while shauns run scored a 91, i was like what the fuck is this bullshit, he definately should have been scored higher, or shaun should have been scored lower.
however shauns grabs were held longer. i mean i would like to have seen shaun white loose and everyone at expn pull thier heads out of his ass but in this case i believe he beat mason and vito and lago. I think those 4 did have amazing runs and vito for sure got under scored but i think that white had the most tech run and is pretty much un beatable right now hence why he won every comp he has entered this year. but that is just me
I'll agree white had a good run... did he win, who knows I wasn't there to see it in person... however I think that one thing that needs to be changed is the scoring. He scored so much higher than everyone else and his runs were not THAT much better. That just inflates everyones heads inside his ass and makes him look like a god... Yea hes good and hes clean but damnit there are others out there that are right with him... not 10 pts behind and 2nd rate riders...
The announcers keep saying that the judges keep giving higher scores to bigger amplitude. Why can't they just do it equally, 1/3 amplitude, 1/3 technical, and 1/3 style
