Sorry to make another pipe thread...

And def not hating on Xavier by any means, I just felt like it coulda gone to either Tanner or Dumont.  Can someone analyze there runs? To me Dumont won with ridiculous airs and the 12 and sw10 at the bottom was the sweetest thing i've ever seen, but Tan had 3 shiftys and Xavier thru an unnatty 12?? I didn't see it in the video but i guess i just missed it. Did everyone think Xavier won???

xavier deserved it 100%

sw right 10 to left 10 should've gotten him an even higher score on his last run as well

after the first runs i was thinking anyone can take this cause everyone was throwin down.

i thought xavier had it but i also had a thought in the back of my head that tanner had it...which is what i was hoping but aw well.



tanners 5 shifty (2nd hit) of his 1st run was the most rediculous 5 i have ever seen...i actually screamed out loud. hahah

t halls last run scored low cause he didn't do enough switch hits.  when every one else is putting those switch hits down, you have to step up to it.

but at least he beat dumont.

Xavier's run was fuckin mindblowing! he deserved the win by ten miles. The kid threw the dankest flat 3 ever, not too mention an unnatty 9 and an UNNATTY 12

I liked Tanner's run more but Bertoni threw down hard and I wasn't really pissed with the result.  I even think I saw Bertoni throw a little shifty on the 3rd or 4th hit.  I think judges gave it to bertoni because they knew Tanner's 7 could have been a 10 on the last hit so it wasn't hit best possible run.  Tanner's second run scored low enough to make me go WTF? out loud though.

i felt tanner and xavier - shit i woulda been happy for either of them - tanners run was so innovative, but xav's was just flawless.

simon, if the pipe is 30ft longer and he does a 6th hit, he wins - period. his 12 was fucking retarded

where are people getting this info? i just watched the pipe runs again and looked at the height-o-meter thing. simon, as always, was going the highest with xavier not far behind. tanner was NOT going as high as them.

Xavier deserved it for sure. The things that set Tanner apart were his buttery smooth shifties and the massive double, but I don't think it was enough to beat Xavier. Simon had a great run but Xavier's was unquestionably better. I thought the judging was pretty solid... announcing was generally pretty bad, but that's to be expected from XGames.
