This shit is boring as fuck. Whoever made up the new rule of one fall you're done, should be shot.

The fact is, if you fall in vert (previous years)even if you got up and kept going you would still get a shitty score.

So? It was still something to watch and now all they are going to be focused on is finishing a run and not throwing new or technical tricks. It's fucking gay.

then they get in one clean run, and then start throwing harder stuff in their other ones. not that hard to figure out.

Oh yeah? Well only a few have actually landed a full run so... fuck you. It's lame... almost as bad a skiing.

Just saw two runs (just turned it on) and they fell..
Fall and you're done? I call shananigans. Just the pressure that you know it's your only shot has got to be ridiculously overwhelming, which leads to the unncessary bails.

On another note, watching skate street, with them being allowed to fall and continue, I'm seeing the sickest skateboarding ever. Most tech shit, so smooth, so sick.

I wish they would cover skate street more.

Yeah but the fact is, if you fall in very you have no chance, and skate street is a completely different format. Vert = best of 3 runs? street = jam.

it stops the progression. but maybe they will practice harder so it makes it progress really fast. really its kinda a gamble... on the sport itself.

Don't you think that might be because they didn't have to worry about falling as much? Are you watching right now? The most tech trick I've seen was Burnquest doing an ass slide on his board. No one is going to chance anything, it's all planned to the tea runs with no variations. Boring as fuck.
