This is a best trick contest now, bring back 2 runs.
yeah the run HAS to be counted as one of your scores, otherwise its pointless really. Anyone competing for that number 1 spot is going to put 3 best tricks up better than their run score unless the run is exceptional
Yeah I agree you need 2 runs
They were doing same run twice when it was 2 runs. So there’s no point for 2 runs. But they have to count that run to the score, i agree
Need the Old sls. Runs dont matter any more
True dat boi
Dawg they gotta get some different judges. Jordan’s nollie in atleast a 9.5. Nyjah dope but the bias is obvious
Yeah this shit is beyond a joke now
Facts
Yeah that not being a 9.5 is clownish on every level
I mean, Nyjah got screwed over by the judges last time and it’s not like an extra 0.2 points would have mattered, the leaderboard wouldn’t change.
@@soupyloops2606 he lost fair n square last time but he won fair this time. Scoring was still wack tho JordAn deserved more recognition for the two best tricks of the day
Hope street league is planning on keeping Rowley as a commentator for ever, i ll never get tired of hearing him talk about skateboard, or about anything, honnestly. thanks Goeff, you re doing a banging job, hats off to you mate.
Glad to see Rowley commentating.
Geoff really is the highlight here!
other dude needs to go
dude when jeff’s impressed you know it’s a massive trick!
So true
Hold up. That bigger flip board slide was a damn 9.1?! You’ve got to be kidding me!! The bias in these judging is ridiculous and it’s so blatant!
The worst 9 ive ever seen with that switch flip nose grind or crook? Cant even really tell
@@charlesgregorybondy282 Both Jordan tricks should’ve been 9.5 up. That nollie inward heel slide was crazy!!! Easily could’ve been 9.9.
@@b.l4365 he was nothing but solid af he got fuct.
@@charlesgregorybondy282 Yeah. Robbery in broad daylight. Skaters need to stick together and throw a tantrum. I get it’s a competition but skaters are too friendly. Getting robbed and can still shake hands with the winner smh. I’d be pissed.
@Daniel S Lol you’re joking right? Sure. Have nyjah nollie inward to board slide then. Oh, and big flip board. I’ll wait 😂😂😂
I’d like to see bring back two runs - anyone can explain why this is dropped? One run isn’t going to get us to see the best runs - too much pressure.
The new format is awful honestly. Make me not even really care about sls anymore and I used to be stoked to watch it
Only reason for it I can think of is budget cuts.... pretty weak of them.
My thoughts are that it is because dudes pretty much always did the exact same run twice, so they figured it’d be better to save some of their energy and direct it towards another single trick for more variety.
Three run tries would be the best!
@@paulpage4271 Budget cuts? Lol How does this save them any money?
Underscoring on Jordan, Papa and Gustavo, thats so fuckin sad
they just wanna "tom brady" skateboarding so posers will keep tuning in
It was worse yesterday. Kept giving Jordan 7s on crazy tricks. This "judging" system needs an overhaul.
I agree Jordan deff had better last trick than nyjah
Foy for his fs crook, shove out should've been an 8.2
Yeah I just watched the 8.7 for Papa's nollie heel front board down the fat blue rail. If Nyjah did that it's 100% for sure 9.3 or higher. I've always been suspect of the scoring in SLS. Some guys just seem to get better scores stop after stop. I don't know what the guy has to do to get scored properly. If that trick, done absolutely perfectly isn't a 9 then what are we even doing here?
Last rant about the judging: they need to start rewarding variety. Almost all the guys in the contest do either the same type of trick all run (Midler fakie 270 to X), or the same tricks at every single spot to the point where you already know the trick they're going to do before they even get to the obstacle. Tons of guys are guilty of this. Creativity is not at all rewarded. I want to see an Evan Smith type find a new way to use a course, ya know?
Fuck, just got to the end and Papa missed out on the finals by 0.2. That means a proper score on that nollie heel front board cost him a chance to win.
Dashawn throws heaviest trick and gets 9.1 that's unacceptable.
@Daniel S definelty.
Bigger flip front board and Billie inward heel are both waaay harder than cab noseblunt!!!! Horrible judging
I haven’t finished watching but I don’t think bigger flip front board tips can noseblunt. On top of it they see that trick by a few people on a regular basis. If Gustavo Ribeiro was in this I’m sure you’d see him do the same thing. Cab bs noseblunt on a gap to Hubba is something only Nyjah can pull off. Not sure what Dashawn pulls on the super final, so far I’m only comparing the bigger flip fs board to the cab noseblunt. So far I def feel like they’ve burned Mickey papa tho. Nollie heel back 50 doesn’t even get an 8? Can’t remember what they scored him for the nollie heel fs board but I’m pretty sure that was low too
Now seeing Dashawns nollie inward heel fs board & the bigger flip front board I def say he was scored fairly.
@@Ryan-zz5wr well that isn't true. Cab noseblunt is so dumb hard, especially in a ledge. The rail tricks look harder but are waaaay easier
Ok but serious talk why does Nyjah get a 8.0 on a less difficult obstacle and Micky did the same trick before him on a harder obstacle and gets an 7.8?
I’m still wondering about this and nobody seems to realize this bs
Style, impression, execution. Simple as that.
It’s been seen before that he gets rewarded for doing the same trick as someone else. And gets a better score. Very suspect.
@Daniel S tbh i think SLS is just a nyjah fan club
Was going to say style is obviously the reason
Dashawn Jordan's nollie inward heel front board was out of this world!! I was hoping for a 9.7 at least.
Congrats to the contest 🐐 Nyjah 👏
That was a beautiful trick I agree.
Honestly should’ve been a 9.9
@@felixbruno7937 no because there is a higher level than doing a fs boarslide He could do fs blunt and there it would be maybe a 9.7 to 9.9
to the point I want to get to, you can't give a trick that can have an upgrade the highest score there is.
@@rymasss No one has done that trick dude. That alone should’ve given him the go ahead higher score. Nyjah is literally the most consistent skater there is… which is why they give him higher scores. But your opinion dude.
@@felixbruno7937 Tiago Lemos did a nollie inward back lip on a handrail in Barcelona 2017 SLS. Granted it was a shorter (thinner) rail, but he got a 9.4 for it. 9.3 was fair.
Remember kids, if you're competing in sls, you have to lift your shirt up after every run and just leave it hanging there.
Seriously it’s fucking annoying. Eaton really annoys me too for some reason
Even the girls are starting to do it. It's ridiculous.
Yeah...
And wtf with the phone of Eaton...Apple ask him to expose it before his run na?
Maybe cause it's hot there?
@@tomcampbell8934 hahaha it’s funny that this annoys you
Geoff Rowley is the best. Man is good at what he does. Definitely needs to stick around!
He really is the best, my icon of the 90s, and can still rip on a board and commentate like a true skater!
🔥🔥🔥
Rowley and Cole are the best
Best in da bizz
"Minimal compression, all stoke." Man is a fucking wordsmith.
I hope Chris Joslin starts landing his tricks in finals again, he's so good to watch
Dashawn got it!! Greetings from Brazil!
That nollie inward heel fb should have gotten a higher score.
9.3 wasn’t bad, but probably he deserved a 9.5
@@peiogonzalez3693 Sounds about 👍
Deshawn Jordan got robbed so hard and it just pisses me off. He does tricks that are so difficult with ease and no one else does them as consistent as him or even does them at all. I would love to hear the judges reasoning behind his scores.
i was gonna say the same thing...
@TaketheK I N G D O M Were you one of the judges?
Exactly, biggerflip board is so much harder than cab nose blunt but got scored two points less?
@@gaberamsay8474 i would say nyjahs line score was inflated...shoulda got a 8.7 at most...
his single tricks were judged ok...other peoples were low as hell
Yeah they always over score him in the lines when he does almost all the same tricks in every contest.
You can tell Kareem wishes this was going on back in the day, he loves it there💪🏾
🌟
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Ugh hate to see Chris joslin coming last. He’s my fav skater going for those massive tricks he just so amazing
Well he's already a winner! (y) Like actually all of them...
I know, right?
He's my favorite, too...but he always seems to choke in competitions.
It annoys me, because I feel like he's orders of magnitude above many of these guys in terms of overall skill.
And if grit/determination were scored...he's scoop all three medals! lol
@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid so true, I feel like he's been a little off this year - with batb, and these sls events (although qualifiers for this event went excellent for him) . I honestly think he might have been the best on the board in 2018, but hopefully he'll get back to it 💪
@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid i don’t think he chokes I think he just goes balls to the wall on literally every trick and these competitions are more about pacing and consistency. I could completely see Joslin dropping the highest scoring trick in an SLS comp but he usually won’t post full scores cause he just goes for tricks that an ordinary person would never land.
nyjah has paid the tribute to the judges, seriously 9.1 his line run isn't more than 8.5, and the cab to b/s nose blunt, he did it a lot of times, nothing new from him, dashawn deserve the win
They don't punish Dashawn for doing treflip 50-50 every contest 🤷♂️. Jordan did great and even if he got a 9.5 on last trick, he still would have lost. Nyjah just threw down too many bangers. Great finals all around though and fun to watch.
rigged
@@chancefontaine6681 actually the tre flip fifty was way underscored.. it was executed so clean too, like one of the cleanest i saw in comp. it'd been totally fair to give that like a 8.8, and then he could have won with the last trick!
I just wanted to agree that the line score was slightly overrated. I really thought that.
Still mad at Shane O'Neill getting screwed yesterday
Same... So fucking lame..
Same bro, a nollie cruc front foot flip out is absolutely legendary lv wich means (for me) a very rare 10 note, and they gave 7.5. I know why: he got the tampa pro so the yankees could not permit an australian to get 2 1st prizes so fast. Before the contest starts I telled my friends here that they would fuk O'Nell because of that and because they r dirty robbers. Same shit happed with the japanese guy at Tampa.
@@GuitarraErudita totally agree. Kai killed Tampa! Totally screwed him on scores.
Yall need to stop playing with Deshawn Jordan!! His tricks are crazy!🔥🔥 He's bringing the excitement back! Him, and Gustavo Ribeiro.
Announcers really get the knee pads out for nyjah
Long time fan, been following for ages! Just a few suggestions, since I've been feeling a waning sense of interest while watching today's broadcast, and I know others have expressed similar sentiments:
- The single run thing really isn't working... It feels like we keep reducing the amount of actual skating year after year. These dudes get into the final for what, 2-minutes of judged skating total? Why even build an entire park if all it's going to come down to is the big rail section?
- Speaking of the courses, they're getting way too repetitive. Even within Street League itself, the tours of the past had unique "feature" obstacles that felt completely different from the stop prior. These current courses feel AI-generated, like you just fed an algorithm the courses for the past few years and it churns out a fresh one in a couple minutes. Give the pros a chance to get creative! These obstacles are all so identical, and make the stops feel as if they're all blurring together. People can go watch traditional ball games if they're looking for that.
- More of a personal peeve on this one, but the announcers are often not really "present" for the run in front of them... They always tend to go on about what happened in some past year instead of actually calling the tricks happening at that moment.
All of this is spot on. I especially agree with the ‘big rail’ comment. Technicality is way undervalued; flips are often what trip people up, so throwing in flip-in flip-out combos should net you some points. The way things are judges right now makes it feel like there’s only one valid style of skateboarding. Gets really dull
100% this
Definitely agree with the part about courses being too repetitive now. Bring back the unique stuff for each new course.
You said it, dude. ^^^
After all those years, I think this should be called "The Nyjah Huston league" !
Still no Yuto? Is he injured or something?
he es so good that they dont let him play
Ahh. Most Asian skaters aren't taking part in this year's wack SLS Contests they know they'll get fucked over
I believe it's because of Covid's restrictions in Asia
I find it equally impressive that they don't wreck themselves when they miss a trick down those huge rails and ledges, they know how to bail
only if they showed practice before it starts I saw midler stick so hard and smack his head
I'm always waiting for that one time for someones head to explode
@@chrisshiherlis95 Only a matter of time. These guys do know how to bail, but every skater ever has gotten injured eventually, and none of these guys are wearing helmets.
@@calliph times are different a lot of these guys train in the gym with a trainer and some even take steroids have gotten their bones professionally broken. But yeah the head hitting concrete is always a factor.
Every time I've seen really good skaters in person what always impressed me the most was how they bailed.
Judges all over Nyjah as usual. This one was all Jordan's!
nyjah did well but damn Deshawn was robbed.
I love nyjah but yeah, Dashawn killed it this time.
How so? What tricks should have been scored differently and would it have even closed the gap? Dashawn did great but didn't have a great line, and Nyjah threw down just as many bangers.
For example Nyjahs run never was a 9.1 it was the Same Standart line he is Always doing and it was pretty sketchy at some points. It was more Like a 8.5, that would have changed a lot
I've loved skating for years, back when I was younger and could do it and even now when my body is to beat up to attempt an Ollie without major back pain lol. I love watching the competitions to see what people are coming up with, the lines they are able to put together, the way they use different obstacles on the course during runs and best trick. The main thing I loved before was always being on the edge of my seat wondering who would take it this time. However, nowadays, you not only know who will be in the finals, but the top 3, and the majority of the time in 1st place. If the competition has Nyjah (who is an amazing skater, don't get me wrong, I've seen him since he was a kid with those dreads still lol) and Yuto in it, then it will come down to a battle between them 2 with Yuto normally coming out on top (as it was at the Olympics like I told my wife when I saw the format and who was competing). If the competition has only Nyjah, then he is 9 times out of 10 going to get 1st, regardless of how the others skate. The biases of the judges, commentators, etc has become so apparent that it almost takes the fun out of watching it now. Yes, I still get hyped watching an amazing trick like DeShawn's Big flip board or Inward heel fs board which is something you almost never see someone attempt, but I try to just put the score out of my mind because I know it will just so happen to fall just short of beating Nyjah regardless of what he does. Don't get me wrong, Nyjah can and has on many occasions put down some insane tricks of his own in the past, it's just these days it seems like he knows he can just throw out something he does on a semi-regular to regular basis that everyone knows he can do with no problem and get a 9+ almost every time so that's what he does. I don't know, it just seems to me that everyone else is just put there now to make Nyjah (and Yuto when he is present) look good to keep the hype going. That's my opinion on the way I've seen SLS going lately. Take it how you want, if I'm wrong then so be it, but that's my perspective as an outsider looking in. Thanks for taking the time to read my long ass comment lol. No matter what though, Skateboarding will always have a place in my heart, even if I'm unable to anymore (I actually still have my last Blind board I bought years ago lol).
Everything you said I agree with. I’ve watched pretty much every single SLS stop they have posted on UA-cam and I’ve seen Njah do all the tricks he did this competition so many times. Yet when other skaters do a trick multiple times in the same year they get docked points. For example Dashawn used to get high 8’s for his tee flip 50-50’s but this competition he got a 8.3. So it’s pretty obvious that there’s bias. Especially after the last trick Dashawn landed which was a NBD at SLS and gets the same score and a trick Njah has done many times before.
Jordan was by far the best skater. SLS is rigged. They make sure Nyjah wins. Everyone that watched this knows Jordan was by FAR THE BEST SKATER.
Yes bro 100% this is fucking bullshit I'm watching this closely and it's rigged 😤 Jordan was by far the best trick and deserved a way higher score this is a load of shit
Nah it was close between nyjah and Dashawn tho. Shane O'neill was the one that got screwed.
He didn't land his tricks when he needed to
he has such good style and has the technical skill to back it up. The judges just like watching nyjah win
pappa and houston do the same trick but Pappa was on the rail (harder) houston on the ledge and they different scores rigged
Been watching contests on tv since 1998 I'm so happy how big skateboarding is right now. Ty S.L.S. I GET SO MUCH NOSTALGIA WJEN I WATCH THESE CONTEST.
Thank you SO MUCH for not having Andrew Cannon commentating, his negativity has almost ruined many a contest.
Andrew is the man.
Nyjah and Micky did the same trick (nollie 180 backside nosegrind ). Micky's was on the big rail, Nyjah's on the lower / smaller hubba. Micky 7.8 - Nyjah 8.0
that's how it 'works', Nyjah also got the same thing done to him previous competitions, it''s the crappy judges. be glad it's only a 0.2
Nyjah did it switch
@@aaronscoasters nope. nyjah is goofy.
man, Dashawn killed it, he should have first place
Thanks for putting this out! Very well done. Would be dope to see it in 4K!
That was a great podium finish nice to see Felipe up there with Deshawn and Nyjah congratulations to all of them can’t wait till November love skateboarding with a passion.
Jagger Eaton is not fit to shine Shane O'Neill's shoes. What an absolute disaster the judges have had yet again.
These judges love Nyjah lol bullshit jaggers run was better if not the same But of course Nyjah gets 9.1
because Nike assassins
Did you watch the last SLS?
style matters... jagger eaton always looks wonky and stiff imo, even though he's doing technically hard tricks
@@BDistoshortforahandle this
i fucking hate Jagger, but his run was definitely better than Jahs
These contests are getting crazy. Holey crap. It's a good time to be a fan!
bonkers
Nyjah is doing this in regular form. What if Nyjah grew his dreads out and went super saiyan?🤯🤯🤯🤯
I liked how Nyjah brings new tricks, same with Dashawn. Each SLS feels a bit repetitive with Kelvin Hoefler doing a 270 tail, Jamie Foy doing 6 variations of a crooked grind, Gustavo doing a big flip board and crooked nollie flip out, Manny doing a varial heel 50 or feeble etc
Jamie for doing 6 variations of Crooked grinds haha 😄 😆
i was there that day so bad ass. thanks sls for making these events possible
Please bring back two runs! That improving on the second attempt is just great! And More nine clubs!
The viewers need emotion and Sick air mail Tricks etc.!!! 🙏🏻
Love Nyjah but can’t wait for him to stop competing in sls so these bias judges can give the other guys a fair chance
I love just seeing these shots of the crowd and skateboarding finally gettin the love and respect that its deserved for decades :) lovin that all these young guns are making a good living off what they love doing.
Deshawn Jordan could do a laser flip board slide kick flip out and still get a 9.3. Njah does a no flip trick with non crowd reaction and he gets 9 plus.
Wanted to see luan
So much love and respect to all the skaters that put their soul on this amaizing Passion, for me.... all are winners . We are all unique and special, werever we do, when we do it from our heart space Thats what really matters, so There is no competition (: 🙏🏾❤️ .
Remember that Skateboarding bring us together, lets be grateful and remember that we are So blessed for doing what que love 🤍🌟
Love how they always over score Nyjah 👍
@Daniel S You keep saying this on every post but you don't explain or back up anything with facts. Plus if you go look, the majority of the skate community disagrees with you based on actual facts. Delusional troll.
@@ShouldHaveBeen I mean you can’t disagree with the fact that the judges are very favorable towards him. In this he did like fakie 180 to tail and gets an 8.0 and then jagger does something wayyy more difficult and gets a 7.6 at 52:46
Don’t get me wrong the guy is an amazing skater and belongs at the top but her gets over scored in almost every SLS event he’s in and if you want I’ll find specific examples
@@WickedIndigo The comment I replied to was taken down. You and I are definitely in agreement in that Nyjah gets scored higher because of favoritism. Though he's technically apt I have never thought he was good. Every trick he does, no matter how technically sound, looks robotic at best. He must have lost his style when he cut off his dreadlocks. In this skateboarder's humble opinion, based on his character and actions he should be blacklisted.
Dashawn is a beast. Incredible style.. the judges need to be swapped out, they are not very fair.
Nollie 180 switch bs nosegrind should’ve been a 9 not a 7.6. that would’ve put him above nyjah..
The fact that they announce that nyjah is a monster skater everytime he skates shows where the money really is in this. Jordan got robbed. Nyjah does the same shit every SLS and those that bring real tech and hard tricks are ignored
Jordan got absolutely robbed with that tre to nose grind like what.....thats a minimum 9 especially with the damn near perfect execution? tf is good with this scoring and thats literally just the one that stood out the most.
I watched this in person it was so sick tricks were insane
Great to hear Geoff killi.g it on the mic! When he was talking about head placement on bs 360 I was thinking who better!?! So 👍 good
It's good to see someone representing Canada 🇨🇦
They did Dashawn dirty with his scores smh
seriusly wtf happen to your scores SLS?
how is possible to give a 9.3 for nollie inward heel fs board?! The same score for full cab noseblunt (that was absolutely lower) ?????
you're totally out of mind.
And before biggerflip fs board and only 9.1 ...
They obviously got paid off lmaoo so bad
you dont know mutch about skateboarding how hard thies tricks are then... the fakie fullcab noseblunt is an akward trick and very hard in a different way then the nollie inward heel fs b.
Judges are definitely smokin' some good shiz this weekend
Whoever disagrees with you is fucking on crack. People want to see new tricks done. Not the same ol shit. This exactly why skateboarding ain’t watch nationwide. The judging is horrible and makes no sense!
@Daniel S You don't skate. You sit on Nyjah signed cans of monster.
The best trick was definitely that nollie inward heel front board.
Nyjah melhor do mundo! 🐐
THANK U SLS !!!
N Felipe for his shoes
BRING BACK
Two runs
4 impact
And 6 best trick attempts
Highest 4 scores count.
This is garbage.
This was so heat🔥🔥🔥
I don't know why I bother watching these, since the judging is so far off with scoring. I really have to discard the contest aspect and just enjoy some fine skateboarding.
Jordan is getting straight robbed. I wonder who he pissed off.
Shouldn’t the Skater XL course preview be from the ACTUAL GAME? Make the SLS courses available with these events! If they’re a sponsor why NOT? We got Tampa, is it that hard to make these parks Skater XL
The sponsorship is for exposure. The time and work needed to develop a full in game park is a pretty big undertaking.
@@alexyoung-davies100 Not really, hundreds of amateur developers do it for free with mods. Easy Day Studios is one of the laziest worst run video game developers in recent times. Their banning of DawgVinci, their most prolific modder, was the worst PR move they could've made cause the director is a sensitive lil b*tch who took trolling personally. This company is at odds with their players and they wont listen to what the people want. Its a shame because the game has so much potential.
jordan should have gotten a 9.9 hands down nollie inward heel board in a comp is insane thats and ender for most skaters
And Nyjah, its insane how you almost dosnt get impressed by him anymore, you just expect him to do insane stuff and he does, every single time almost
so many epic tricks!
Congratulations to Daswhawn Jordan for winning this contest with the best two tricks of the day! I'm rejecting the SLS judges reality and inserting my own to restore the balance. Nyjah is a beast but when you compare trick for trick Dashawn outshined him and its obvious.
Amazing 🔥❤️❤️
I feel nyjah gets higher scores just cause hes "NYJAH"
Nyjahs fucking boring
Yash
I find this new format would only work for prelims when it comes to the finals I think it should be brought back to 2 runs, 5 controlled trick attempts, and 6 impacts who's with me on that?
I've seen skaters do a inward heal on to flat and get scored 9 but on to a slide and its clean as fuck and he made it look easy. But that's a 9.3
@TaketheK I N G D O M I think he meant from something on to flat
Whoa!!!! Nyjah Huston is back!!! 💯🔥
The tricks in this final were absolutely absurd.
Micky papa did a nollie 180 nose grind revert gets 7.4 on the blue rail then nyjah does exact the same trick suddenly gets 8.0 LOL
Congrats to all skater 😎🔥🍻! Thanks SLS!
My guy Dashawn has got to do more than 4 tricks in his run section :'(
Would it kill you guys to upload in 1080p?
Lucas Rabelo rocks. Hope to see him on next events. Bring back 2 runs.
Well done Nyjah! You were the best! Love the positive attitude you have this year!! Well deserved win!
So good
Gnar gnar, go Nyjahr!
Wow i really spend an hour watching a best trick contest
That was a sick ending to the contest. Though they should bring back 2 runs instead of one. It's starting to just become one big best trick contest. When they do it like this where it's almost all 1 best trick contest, which only gives big scores on the big obstacles, that doesn't allow the contest to let a broad scene of talent have a shot at winning. The only people that have a shot are the guys who can throw one big trick down a long rail. Giving two runs allows people that are better at tech and consistency to win. Skateboarding is well rounded. So the contest should reflect that.
DeShawn Jordan probably would've won if he wouldn't have messed up his run section. They should've had a second run.
SLS is really great for skateboarding compared to contests of the past (90's)
Nygah is the man! lol
... And That legend Kareem Campbell is always smiling 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Oh shit I completely forgot about the additional two attempts for the top 4. SLS has been such a ground breaking design from year one. I've thoroughly enjoyed every version. I kinda miss the separation between the tech and big sections. Only appealed to a narrow audience though
This is pretty sad.... It seems like Nyjah can do some pretty basic tricks and get ridiculously high score... Dashawn Jordan was killing it seemed like the uncrowned champ to me. The tre flip noseslide and inward heel was amazing....
pretty much how its been for the last 10 years w nyjah
this new format is bs it has turned into an extended best trick contest. Should go back to the two run format and one run score must be kept. Also, insane how high they always judge Nyjah.
At 15:20 Alex Midler is like shut tha fuck up bro... I feel your pain though 😂
I’m glad Geoff had the balls to call out the judging but still some of the scoring is abysmal
Really 9.1 for Nyjah’s run
The women’s scoring system is a joke
Wtf am I even watching anymore &
Cariuma are ONLY willing to host the final by the looks of it
Comp skating is essentially like pop music now your success is largely about who’s backing you
This may very well be the best park setup I've ever seen in a competition.
The layout is bordering on perfection. It offers almost everything you could want as a street skater!
That said, the blatantly biased judging continues to drag this entire league down.
I avoid SLS events *exclusively* due to how consistently laughable the judging is.
Arizona bruh ive been here before this park goes so hard. these obstacles theyre skating are like chest high bro what.
mom jeans or running shorts? either one is a viable option for the best pro skaters now. i personally love it (though i do not like how mom jeans look eh?).
"Legend"
Would love to see Geoff do a couple laps one time!
congratulations Felipe Gustavo 🇧🇷
I love the havasu park
Last few sls has been nothing but shredding but I reckon next year Definitely bring back the 2 runs 5 tricks best 5 scores count, gives all the skaters an extra chance to get some tricks in and clean up the first run. Chris joslin deserves a win but this format is holding him back a bit
? He tried the same thing and bailed the whole time.. didn't deserve anything?
Nyjah basically absolutely murdered every inch of the hubba
