Snowboarding but whatever, a 91 for that run is criminal.

Came on Newschoolers just to vent. A 3rd run victory lap would’ve been so sweet to watch him boost

Question.
Winner was 4-8 inches shorter than the others, does that help his rotation/ spin geometry?

His second run was somehow bigger and cleaner. Didn't even think he could improve but he managed to take the same run and just add 4 feet to every hit and land everything smoother. Future GOAT in the making for sure.

It’s weird that everyone is calling his truck “triple cork”. It’s impressive as fuck, but def not a cork. Its more like a triple under flip. I feel like they just call everything a cork these days lol.

Its been this way as long as I can remember. If you set it as a cork its considered a cork even if it gets super flippy. It would be weird to say cork 7 to underflip 3, its just a dub 10.

Todd Richards on the call was great.

run 2 was the best.

and his brother’s first run shoulda been on the podium too.

It’s time to admit that figure skating has a better scoring format than action sports. Figure skaters can fall and still win because they pushed and crushed everything else. They make sure the best person wins.

Honestly, this. They’ve got it down with a judging— artistry and difficulty are taken into account.

you can fall and still win in figure skating? that seems weird. falling is tight (tho ive never tried it myself) but a fall being part of a winning run?

If everyone else falls/stumbles or that person who fell is doing an insane program beyond those who didn't fall then yeah.

Yes calling a cork 7 to underflip a double cork makes sense. However, I noticed that everyone has a tendency to call all flip/spins corks regardless of how they’re set. Mistys, rodeos, bios, d-spins, underflips, overflips flat spins, they all get called corks. It really takes away from how special and unique everyone’s tricks are when they just call them all corks.

They fucked up hard on that one. Was stoked to see him land it again. Amazing hearing Todd roast the judges. Never heard an announcer, especially at the olympics fired up like that. Totally justified.

The dude also stomped the shit out of his run. His landings were so clean. Idk how you could set a triple and then land like you never left the pipe.

I'm genuinely confused on what they missed in the first run to give him that score? Did someone just accidentally enter the wrong number or something? Did they not realize it was a triple? How tf can the exact same run score 91.75 once and then 96? Yes he went higher/cleaner on the second, but that is a BIG jump for an identical run.

We need answers from the judges. It had to have been the worst fuck up in judged event history. Thank god he put down that final run...

I beg to differ, Shawn White getting a 100 with a hand drag at the X-Games was the biggest judging fuck up in history.

Did he spin all 4 ways in his run? I can’t keep track in snowboarding. That was the only thing I could think of for docked points, maybe he did most of the hits in the same direction. Either way well deserved win in the end, judges need some new glasses.

He scrubbed the landing a bit on his last hit iirc
