To all those that came out and raced, tricked, watched, cheered on and helped during yesterdays race, trick contest and after party. The support was truly appreciated and its good to see everyone come together and have a good time doing something we all love. Hang tight, Blackshaw will be posting the results of the Race and Trick Comp along with other relevant information from yesterdays proceedings. Also, if you have any pictures from yesterday, hit us up and we'll link to them. Lets keep this positive momentum going!
BTW, I heard a lot of crazy talk last night about the judging at the Trick Comp; some of it damn near bordered on conspiracy theory shit. To shed a little light on how we judged this thing, variety, consistency & originality were the 3 main things we looked at. This isn't anything different than what most skate / bmx contests take in to consideration when judging a contest. There was a lot of impressive tricks thrown around yesterday but part of the scoring also has to take in to consideration whether or not the person lands the trick. In the end, the decision came down to who had original lines, the variety of tricks they did and how consistently they landed what they tried. The final decision was a very tough one due to the different styles the top 4 showed but in the end we felt our decision was the just one based on the criteria we worked with. This doesn't mean one style is better than the other but rather on this day, luck of the draw had one person riding better overall. Feel free to discuss this with me next time you see me out. I'm more than down to talk about how I scored it and how I came to my final decision on the top 3. And if we disagree; fuck it, then we'll agree to disagree and have a beer in the process...
Keep pedalin'!
