I was in a competiton yesterday, and made it to the finals.

There was 5 other guys in the final round. My first run was decent, but they took the best run. On my final run I threw down the run of my life. Corked 7, to 360 to misty 9.

After all the runs were over I was pretty confident I would at LEAST podium. After waiting like 4 hours I ended up in like 4th place, getting beat by guys who did 360's, or switch 180's on the last jump that I did misty 9 on.

I mean sure style may have played a role, but you can't do a switch 180 on the money booter and win a fucking competition.

So pissed, I hate judges.

I just realised how you guys are hypocrites (and yeah your situation did suck).
You guys were complaining how the competition format is spin to win. Huge debates about the subject has been done after the X-Games. Everyone came to the conclusion that huge tricks should not be the way to win, style and perfection should be the determining the win factor.
Remember that our sport is a judged sport. If you don't like it leave it. Unfair judging and biasness is a part of competition. Judges are human beings, they aren't perfect.Sometimes environment factors (cold, night and unrest)can modify a judge's perception. But to counter that, a chef judge must revise every score given be each judge.
Yeah, without a doubt that your situation sucks, but your perception of a run can be very diffrent from a witness and a judge.Maybe you had sketchy landings? Maybe your manouvers were incomplete (grabs)?
If you got it on video, keep it close to you. Then show us and we will tell if your run was good.

2nd and 3rd place were locals and 1st place, the guy who did switch 180 on the last jump was sponsered by the company who was putting on the competition.

I understand sometimes that politics plays somewhat of a role in matters like this, but if someone throws down something WAY in front of the other peoples runs it shouldn't be the deciding factor in the end result.

Yesterdays esperience seriously made me contemplate ever going into a comp again. I hope no one else has to experience shit like this.

Not only that but I'm skiing on a shitty pair for PE's from like 3 years ago, and the guy who won is sponsered by head and he won a pair for 1080 foils that I doubt he will ever use.

FUCK. oh well, just ski for fun I guess.

im sorry, but even if it was a sketch misty 9, it was a misty 9, everyone and there mom can do a good looking 180. its not spin to win, its just plain old one is better than the other. common sense! a steezy 900 blunt being beat by a more hucked but still ok cab 10 mute, that is spin to win my friend

I have a shot from a misty 7 i did and have a sequence of the misty nine. I will post them and let you know in this thread when i do.

I will say in advance, that my style on the misty 9 is not the best, because it was my first time attempting it. But still, the closest thing that was thrown on the same jump was misty 5, that was sketchy.

yeah as much as i hate spinning to win, thats usually how contests go down, and it was no different at this one, as the guy who qualified first was the only one to do a 900... which he didnt do in the finals.

The closest rotation that was near mine was an on axis, penciled 720.

yeah so i posted a vid of one of my misty 7's in the finals... remember the tricks that beat me on this jump were 360's, misty 5 and a 540.

the vid is in the jump section, under the title I got jewed.

and really style shouldnt be a factor here cause the tricks that beat me were not close to being as technical or difficult.

the comp was in Lech, Austria... called Nice and Landed.

its all about steezy style and amplitude, i personally would have rated a switch 180 higher than some 9. But I think 180's are the sweetest thing possible if thrown right

^there is a reason that 180's do not win competitions...

style cannot be the entire criteria for judging, i agree it should definitly be PART of the judging but still. obviously anyone can do a more stylie switch 180 that something more tech like a switch 9.

fuck it i will anyway there was a rail line and a jump line sooo being the cool kid out of the bunch i did the rail line and not to brag or anything i did pretty sick, i mean i was stoked. but the problem was the 2 last rails which were my best ones i dont think the judges could even see or even tried to see. here was my run
flat bar-butter 270 on
high box-noseslide
long flat bar-270 off
c-270 on 270 off
down flat down- 270 on switchup

Get out of Onterrible and stop complaining. Some styled switch 180s will beat some sketchy misty 9s. I'm sorry. Just like if you'd done a misty 2100 I would've told you to drop your poles and find an aerials jump, you don't AUTOMATICALLY WIN FOR SPINNING MORE. Hell, in my books, a shifty straight air can win a comp if you stall it out all nice. Yes, style CAN be the entire criteria for judgment. Gooooo Lord of the Park.

Now go practice your Zeros and stop hucking.

this seems like a reoccuring theme in the majority of ski comps, no one agrees with the judges, thats why i like the judging format my hill uses for little local comps, the riders in the comp judge eachother, and you cant score your own run. It all works out

Okay, I was being a bit of an ass there. I think my point wasn't "You shouldn't have won". I think it was more, "you shouldn't assume you're going to win because you can sort of do a misty 9 somewhat huckedly". The possibility that someone doing a massive sw 1 double inside safety SHOULD win a comp over people who spin more exists, because it can, potentially, look a hell of a lot better.

^ Not to mention that's just the last jump the kid is talking about. This was a slopestyle comp. and if the switch 1 kid's run was more fluid and stylie of course he is going to take it regardless of the last jump.
