that had to be damn tough to judge, and i'm surprised that none of the euro entries got in, but i think the chosen winners are very deserving

Apparently you need to do some sort of double flip to be in this competition.

Anyone that does a double grab should automatically be disqualified. Shit is wack.

your right. in fact anyone that does over a 5, disqualified.
anyone that does anything other than a nose or blunt grab. disqualified. and if you dont wear xxxxxxxxl and after bang, dqed


thats how to progress, sounds like a plan

dude, that's still far too much diversity, don't be half-assed. the only way to ensure maximum progression is to disqualify both spinning and grabbing altogether. only no grab straight airs should  be allowed, with bandanas, standard issue 9mms and excessive afterbang all being mandatory...

You are a perfect example of pro-ho-gus-dickriding-NSer. You have to be joking if you think gus should be in the xgames.

Nothing wrong with progression, just don't go the wrong way about doing it.

1800's and double grabs are not it.

doing the same trick over and over with just a little more style is? do you think the kids who first threw 3s 5s and7s held that grab the whole time and stomped the landing? no, they were hucked, and got better. henrik is throwing a clean ass sw14 with a bigger jump it could be even cleaner. and how are double grabs not the right progression?

how are you supposed to progress if you cant spin more, and you cant grab more....

theres only so many ways you can grab with one hand. and only so many ways you can spin, thanks to those damn laws of physics.

Solid choices, I may have chosen differently but these guys will kill it none-the-less. I may not be the biggest fan of Gus' style, but c'mon, hes 16 and has years to get his shit together.

i saw tom and gus's edits and i saw clear winners, but the quality of the video in gus's edit was really good which made him look better and smoother, but he also landed a kangaroo
