yea it kind of sucked last year because all it was was a railjam with urban rails and a ledge, but if they made it more of a slopestyle course with urban rails, wallrides, urban gaps/drops and such it would be sick

thank you skrillex for playing a lead role in deteriorating the dubstep scene, spreading shitty music to millions of american bros, and turning what was once an underground culture into an over played mass appealing mainstream phenomenon

The mainstream nature of dubstep can not be attributed to just Skrillex. Blame Rusko, Excision, Datsick, Flux, etc. Brostep.

hence me saying playing a lead role...and all of those artists that you just listed are superior producers than skrillex, rusko yes he started the whole brostep thing, hes even said that he regrets it, but at this point i dont anyone is doing more damage to the scene then skrillex, especially in north america. Over in the uk sure they have rusko and the circus crew, but they are also drown out by the large amounts of real dubstep that they have over there. And i really would not classify excision as brostep, listen to some of his earlier works and you will see. Yes he does use a lot of distorted mid range in his music, but he also puts in way more sub bass than any of those other artists. Excision is closer to deathstep than he is to brostep, but really hes in somewhat of his own genre, there have just been way to many people that try to copy him and fail miserably.

Not to be the typical shawn white hater, but I thought Sloan's run was better than White's. Not that it matters since they are both in the finals but it was some classic X-Games judging. Also, Andy Mac and Bob Burnquist should be in the finals just on principal.

how exactly does PLG score higher then shawn, I mean idk crap about skate boarding but it seems shawn's run has way more amplitude and difficulty.

Yeah in the end it definitely turned out right. Shawn whites run was ridiculous.

Also, the speed style competition is is sick.
