Why freestyle aerials sucks as a competition (not as a sport)

Any sport that discourages its atheletes from progressing the level of competition is fundementally flawed. Peterson did something that none of the other competitors could do and just because he put a hand down, he was chucked from medal contention. The Chinese guy did really weak jumps, but stuck the landings well and got Gold. Crap if you ask me...

Yeah, i agree, 1620 triple back? that's insane, he should've been placed higher than seventh, but i guess the judges really pay attention to the landing, it was still super sick though

People who throw sicker tricks than everybody else but land sketchy have been getting robbed in various competitions for years. The problem lies with judging in general, not Aerials.

well in aerials the landing is 20% of the score so his dd wasn't high enough to make up points for the missed landing

well you get points taken off for stuff like bending your knees in the air. straight pencil steeze is what they want.

It's all about how they are scored. Just look at moguls, and it's the same deal there.

I wanted to see someone come out there in a puffy coat and super baggy pants and twin tips, and do a switch cork 1440 mute grab. It never happened though.
Honestly though who named it the hurricane? I burst out laughing whenever they said it.
