I was in a competiton yesterday, and made it to the finals.

There was 5 other guys in the final round. My first run was decent, but they took the best run. On my final run I threw down the run of my life. Corked 7, to 360 to misty 9.

After all the runs were over I was pretty confident I would at LEAST podium. After waiting like 4 hours I ended up in like 4th place, getting beat by guys who did 360's, or switch 180's on the last jump that I did misty 9 on.

I mean sure style may have played a role, but you can't do a switch 180 on the money booter and win a fucking competition.

So pissed, I hate judges.

dude, i agree with you on the whole style issue okay? I hate also that Laurent Favre never wins comps altho he may throw down the styliest shit ever. However in the case of, for example, Laurent, he usually does switch stylie as fuck 7's when the compettion is doing switch 1080s. There is only a slightly increased technical difficulty between a sw 7 and 10, whereas there is an ENORMOUS tech difficulty between a switch 180 and a misty 9. I think ever gaper out there can do a solid sw 180.

In this case, the guy who won, did switch 5, 360, switch 180. I did corked 7, 360, misty 9. Personally, I feel as I did it with enough style that I should have at LEAST podiumed. As did most of the ppl who saw the runs.

The point, in case you haven't figured it out, is that we CAN'T agree or disagree with you just by reading your complaining about it on this site. We'd have to see it. Otherwise it seems like you're suggesting that the judges didn't even have to be here, all they needed was a sheet of paper telling them what everyone threw down to figure out who should've won. Soooooo the entire premise on which this thread is based is both wrong and offensive. It hurts the idea of the freeskiing competition by making it more about competition than freeskiing.

yeah basically in this case, im saying that the judging was so bad that someone who didnt even see the comp and heard what the tricks were could come up with a better end result than what happened.

and if you wanna see, i have posted a video of a misty 7 i did in the finals. its in my video section.
