i know im not the first to say this and i also knwo that im probably gonna get alot of hate for this but I really tired of seeing Kevin Rolland winning Pipe with the same run for 2 years in a row. Also im tired how he gets so over-rated

kinda reminds me of" Hotdog: The Movie", when Harkin Banks getts fuck over by Rudi, when everybody can see that Hakrin had a much better run...

yeah dumont and dorey where insane and extremly under-rated...

yeah thats just my 2 cents..

It's not his fault he knows what type of run the judges like.

Why do you think he keeps doing more or less the same run over and over again? He keeps winning!

It's clear to me that he's holding back and will use new tricks to keep himself on top as time passes by and riders try to knock him off the top stop. Get used to see him up there cause he won't be coming down for a loooong time

eh, its the same stuff that tanner used to do winning big airs with a sw rodeo 7 or 9....whatever.......just being a comp "whore" so to speak....getting a run or trick that wins.....and if it keeps winning, not changing it. O well. Someone will come along eventually and step it up.

peut etre que t'as raison, je n'avais pas vu la video skipass main bon...
j'avais l'impression que kevin etait plutot content que son pote toto a eu l'occasion d'etre dans la finale et c'etait pour sa qu'il disait "good news"

en tout cas, on a des points de vue different, ya pas de soucis!

peace

like some people have said before I think we all have to remember that this is competition skiing and the purpose is to win, not a progression of interpretive and inovative tricks, this is what sessions and park skiing is for.

Although the scoring in pipe (and big air) may not be to everyones liking and probably not the most ideal, I think it is the best system to avoid a greater amount of unfairness amoungst riders. If you had of done 3 dubs in a run and another rider only did 2, and you came 2nd because your 'style' wasn't as good, it would be an injustice, for the simple fact that 'style' is subjective to each individual (judge) and specific tricks (dubs ect) are more suited to a definitive point structure. Sparknote: Types and complexity of tricks are easier and more consistant to score without a 'style' or 'inovative' element thrown in. The only time I think style should come into it is if 2 riders have an equally scoring run.

how much harder a boxing match would be to score if you had to take in to account style and technique aswell as hits landed and uniqueness of punches thrown?

Copious amounts of jealousy in this thread. The poor guy is busting his ass to win a competition with a certain judging criteria. So fuck off and show a professional some goddamn respect, eh? You guys want "pipestyle" but unfortunately it doesn't exist yet, sorry.

he deserved to win all the comps except euro x.  how did he beat dorey?  first ever switch dub and a dub 12 while kevin only did a dub flare and a dub 12(which hes been doing all year, dorey keeps learning new stuff)

He won the Dew Tour with his first run, which was a 90. He one upped himself and got a 95 on his 2nd run. Seeing it there live, I think it was deserved.


No opinion about anything else in this thread though.
