So apparently, a double wildcat in the run lands you on top of the leaderboard with a 95.66!
Progression...

This going for the triple on the last jump and not making it around thing is boring as hell.

Thinking the exact same thing as everyone else above me. You hear the judge say they're not really feeling the cab triple 14?! I mean yeah its pretty hucked but seriously, Mark's run was not better.

that rail game of mcmorris wasn't a lot better. and the double wildcat instead of parrot's triple underflip?!
judges saying they don't like the triple underflip stylewise is bullshit..

LOL at the judges, Parrot slams both of his hands on the ground on his last hit and he gets a 96.33? Reminds me of when shaun got a 100 with a hand drag...

HAHA, apparently judges realised they fucked up over 2nd run scores.
Parrot had a little hand drag on the landing of the triple 14 and still somehow scored better than mcmorris.
Glad they did though, max FTW!

Honestly his first run could have got a 100 had he pulled it on his last run so he deserves it

Yeah he took a pretty good dig to the ribs. Good thing he took it to cat mode and was able to bring that around. If he didn't that would have been all grill to the end of that rail.

Yeah I'm having a feeling this is why he got a higher score on his second run, even though he had a better first run.

Halldor talking about how people just throw triples and it sucks. Love the way he explains how to do the trick.
