Shu takada should of won 2A. He was doing what he loved to do and was having fun doing in. And that showed

Shu is for sure fun to watch, but Takuma is simply so much more technical and has harder tricks and he deserved to win.

Takeshi is a powerhouse. He won’t not win until he stops competing.

I’m really happy with the 1A results. Janos is years ahead of the competition, and the title was well deserved. Luis also had an amazing freestyle. Eric Tranton’s too… absolutely sick. Really great competition this year.

Am I the only one who thinks that Paul Kerbel should have placed where he did though? It was a good freestyle, but you can’t just win off of horizontals, starting off with a flip, and the few regular tricks he did. I don’t think his tricks were as good as they needed to be in this freestyle to really place any higher than he did. Don’t attack me over this, just my opinion.

But you gotta admit, he is still very skilled, I mean 4A with a superstar and that Moebius stuff

Same here. I posted about this in my 2A thread.

Though I like Shu’s stage presence and innovation a lot, Takuma’s tricks were so difficult and technical that people didn’t really see that. The problem with 2A is that people think it all looks the same and for a technical player like Takuma, he’s unfortunately a victim for that and therefore not a lot of people paid attention and gave him as much cheer/recognition as Shu.

Shu may have captured the audience, but Takuma captured the judges and that’s all what matters in contests.

He is very skilled. This freestyle though, I don’t think it could have gotten a much higher score than it did.

Paul Kerbel’s freestyle was sketchy, but it was the coolest, most innovative freestyles I’ve ever seen

Takeshi absolutely wiped the floor in 5a. Tyler stood no chance.

Seriously. Takeshi got a 95.1

Tyler got a 73.0

Not even a chance.

Waiting for Takuma to knock him off his throne.

It was my favorite. So good!

It really looked like a “sport” when he took the stage. Amazing performance. There were just so many great performances, and everyone who was great couldn’t get the big prize. I hope everyone who made it to finals got something special to take home…that alone is a huge accomplishment.

I think Janos and Paul Kerbel got what places they deserved.

Theres a difference between “doing a difficult trick” and “doing something difficult while doing a trick.”

I didn’t enjoy Janos’s freestyle as much as some other stuff out there, but hey, in competition it’s not about entertaining.

It’s about winning.

[Zort_Commander (Micah Wingell)]

Exactly. Paul’s was crazy, but Janos had more Crazy, intricate tricks

[nardcopter]

Yeah, but Janos is AMAZING in other videos he has.
