Shaun White/xgames judging

I think the judges need to get a little further up shaun white's ass... I can think of 4 runs off the top of my head that were A) bigger B) more tech and C) more complete/just as good as his and all those guys got 3rd-5th... the judging at the xgames is very disappointing this year...

If your name wasnt shawn anunti or mason, and you did 2 1080s and 9s, you got 80s

until the 3rd run i agree with you, but he just absolutely nailed his 3rd run.
I do believe that Louie Vito should have scored higher, top 3 at least, and i cant wait to see him next year.

his third run though had some very sketchy landings definately didnt think it deserved a 91 when anybody else's clean run got an 80

^thats because I think the judges blinked when he threw that massive wheelie bar... they obviously didnt see it because it was way too obvious

vito didnt have near the amplitude as shawn plus shawns tweaks and grabs were insane. i overall thought they gave him gold for good reason.

Yeah shauns run was really good but he just wins so much it would be nice to see other people win once in a while. I think Mason should have won his run was so sick! Vitos run was good! he should have gotten a higher score.

i still thinks its funny how they were shitting themselves at the slopestyle when he did "back to back 1080s" when he really did a second 900. they fucked up
the x games are fucked up
fuck it

I hate shawn. His pipe run wasn't as good as others tonight either. granted, I didn't see who won, but there were better runs being scored lower.
The judges must be under the impression that his carrot colored hair is a disability, and give him 10 brownie points.
I don't even watch the X games for seeing who wins anymore, I just watch to watch skiing on TV

Louie Vito should have gotten 2nd or 3rd, his last run was great.

tonights the finals for skiing it should be interesting what people say when dumont wins it again for throwing straight airs

I thought that was strange as well. After his final run, even the judges were saying: "Ooohh that hand drag was a bad one too, he used it to support himself, that will hurt his score".
And then he scored even higher. While the other 2 guys had no hand drags and still did 1080s and 900s. They cant just keep giving it to shawn white every year.

I've been saying it for ages, fuck Shaun White. He's SO overrated it's ridiculous. He's like, the Mirra of snowboarding now. Mirra wins purely on his name. Anyone watch the SUMMER X-Games? Mirra's park runs sucked balls and he still took gold. FUck the X-Games, and fuck shaun white. Flying tomatoe my ass.

he sucked...wow...he had the best run..i dont care if everybody else out there threw 10's. they held there grab for 180, at best 360 of it..so why would you even consider their run better? its just like best trick...tj held his grab longest and had good style...he didnt go the biggest, but he had the best overall jump..thats the way i think shauns run was, the best overall

^ dont talk... because I think antii autti has some of the sickest style in pipe contests... if you wanna compare sick runs with "hand drags" you got shaun white, decent run with huge wheelie bar and you gut autti who placed 6th I think, run on par with shauns as far as amplitude and he had a tiny hand touch, not drag...
get your head out of shauns ass

how did the Dumont get the same score for a run where he got even bigger air??????? And the fact that he was in pain!!!! The judges were just tryin to lick t-halls balls because the whole show they talked about how bad he wanted it. If the dumont didn't want it he would have sat out cause his bach hurt
