What was up with the Big Air judging for him? Like I'm stoked that dollo got his medal but it seemed mad weird Jesper's 1980 lead blunt got a 78. Maybe I missed something idk.

Judges probably thought it looked like a quad

He's definitely never been robbed in the past and this is completely fair judging.

i forget the details about his tricks so i can't comment on his scores. did he not get a good long grab, or was his landing not great?

there have been some wack scores but in general i think the main idea was that they wanted big tricks, a very long grab (ideally a tougher one), full control, and a really good landing, and they were pretty strict about those aspects

The only thing I can think of is maybe he let go of the grab a bit early but it’s a lead blunt on a 1980 you have to let that go a bit early to get it around.

Judges were really picky about grabs and landings, henrik barely tapped his hand and lost 5 pts on his first nb trip.

Watching it again, he didn't grab for the last 900 and basically gymnast spun out, while other skiers getting scored higher grabbed their tricks until the last 180-360 without tucking which is why I'm assuming he got docked.

The grab difficulty is almost meaningless these days unless its something super hard, lead blunt = mute = japan at this point so I would bet if he did a mute or japan grab and held it til the end, he would've been close to 90.

yeah, Jesper seems like such a cool dude. I feel bad for the people who hate on him they must just be hateful people.

I think the overall problem is Jesper skis for himself and the tricks he wants to do to push the sport instead of just skiing to fulfill comp points like the other athletes.

Yeah that last 900 with no grab was the only thing I could think of but a 1980 docked 15-20 points for that seems a bit insane. If it was unplanned letting the grab go maybe but like you said dollo hand tapped on a landing and only lost five points. Jesper landed a 1980 clean and it essentially becomes a throwaway score. Just seemed odd.

Can Jesper do switch tricks without blendering? I know it's such a minor thing to be picky about but it really bothers me for some reason

Two and a half rotations without a grab is huge, I think that definitely justifies the point loss. Especially if others were holding their grabs to the very end.

15-20 is a stretch my dude, if he grabbed that whole spin maybe he gets a 92, that would be 14 more points. He didnt grab for over 900 of the trick, thats the only reason a 1980 is a good trick is if you grab the whole time, otherwise its a hucked spin. He did a really dope sw 18 the next run with a really solid grab and he got rewarded, its not like these guys dont know what to throw, he just didnt get the grab that long in the 19 and it hurt him.

But others weren’t really doing 1980s and especially not in that fashion. The way he did it he tweaks the grab slowing his rotation then let’s go and sorta slingshots his spin for the last 900. He’s holding the grab most the whole tim in the air and just gets that last 900 done so fast without it.

This thread should just be stickied every time he competes, chronically underscored by judges.
