Did birk ruud really just get a 33 for a 2160? And then max forehand does a first in comp and gets a 26? Get some dawgs in that booth, apparently they only hire bots.

Mac's landing just wasn't that great. And maybe if Birk did a different grab it would score better.

Scores were low, but consistent. I personally think that this was one of the best judged x games events in quite some time.

I think the ideas cool but a hardly tweaked dub 10 blunt shouldn’t be a 7/10, totally missing the point. Also did anyone else corey vanular ripping on the double in the chat haha?

Birk’s trick selection is always just fis spin to win and as creatively conservative as possible, he’s won with it in the past but it’s refreshing to see him not be rewarded for it when the event was so explicit about focusing on style

Hot take but I agree. Don’t need a separate category, just need to try to reward style properly as you would for technicality. Easier said than done, I know judgings tough.
