Someones gonna start it-so someone is me!
Is a BR a BR if u are half way off the ski after u land it? Is a BF a BF if you are flailing to get back on the ski to ride out of it? Is a BF to Flare a combo if the flare sucks azz? Granted, if Malone wanted to really kill them, he could have and proved that Sat evening. Bogart and Stoyer spent all weekend trying to get 2 back to back flips and had a hard time getting the 2nd flip clean, so Malone sees whats goin on and goes over in frt of Bogart and Stoyers pits and does several 3 in a row BFs real clean and one 4 in a row and 1 5 in a row.
Amateur Freestyle judging on Saturday was REAL close to spot on! I was VERY impressed!
Pro Freestyle juding today was yet again a popularity vote IMO.( Yes my opninion and mine only).
If I were the one and only judge it would have gone a lil like this-
There would have been a decibal meter in the crowd and Parr would have killed it!!!
If the decibal meter was not available and big air would have been the ticket for the day, it would go like this-
Kaiser went big and threw a trick that I have not seen on a ski yet (probaly old trick but new to me) Body Varial (MX trick) towards the end plus did the BF's and BR's and all the usual stuff and was pretty clean.
Eric went huge as expected but really no bigger than Bogart or Kemnitz or Stoyer(who lost his ski towards the end-bad Stoyer) or Kaiser. Parr perfectly executed and FINISHED every trick and threw ALOT more combos than anyone else even tho all old skool other than a flare and BR.
Sickest trick was Bogart throwin a Backy, drove the nose straight in and threw a 100' fountain straight up, hit bottom real hard and rode out clean!
Go Bogart! The X Scream 1000 will throw one hell of a fountain!!! I was impressed that his old over the hill azz is still bringin it on. LOL
I personally know most of the judges and respect them more than anyone will ever know-BUT-I think they were handed scoring sheets that were ALREADY filled out . I am going to email Pat and request a decible meter for judging from now on. Like that will ever happen. lol I think this is the ONLY fair way to do it-let the crowd decide! After all-is not the crowd we are trying to impress? Isn't freestyle all about showin off? Who gives a chit what the judges think-there is only 5 of them and 500 people in the crowd. lol 500 people yelling for me would motivate me a hell of alot more than 5 people.
