well if that was the run he wanted to use to score, i understand. I figured he'd be doing a bit better in the rails, although, whatever he did certainly looked cool. is that the only angle.

Judges should consider style in their scores... Seems that they're stuck with the same criteria since 2004

they do. however technical difficulty is the main judging factor. Casabon has a super low level of technicality in his runs. you want style? go watch an edit or a movie.

Its his choice to ski the way he does. he obviously doesnt want to win any comps, so he doesnt. why is that so hard for everyone to understand?

Ya I know what you mean. But I freakin' love Casabon's style and I'm a bit disappointed by the fact that "style" is so uneffective in comp

I understand that technicality is today's basis for scoring and that its incredibly hard to base a score on style, since style is a personal preference. With that said I think that sometimes a "stylish" trick is universally seen as stylish and therefore should be rewarded more generously. Either way, every skier brings their own style to the mountain and who are we to judge them on that?

Lol @ people saying he doesnt have technical tricks.. Switch 12 trucks and dub Japan's are mad tech imo, just not what judges want to see

But doing a switch 10 dub with a single japan is more tech.
