Controversy.

So, it's X-Games weekend and we've already had the standard controversy about results. What seems strange is that it seems everyone's complaining about Daniel "Styleless" Dhers beating Dennis "Knows how to ride a bowl" Ennarson in Superpark, yet when Jamie "Knows how to ride a vert ramp super well" Bestwick beats trick ferrets people seem to complain about him winning 'yet again' just for going big, fast and smooth but not necessarily doing the most ground-breaking tricks. I don't really get that, but hey ho - here's a fairly boring video of people doing a lot of the same stuff on vert (as well as Jamie Bestwick going super high and super smooth), and some slightly more interesting stuff in the Superpark finals. You can theoretically watch the Street finals at midnight tonight here, but I'm not 100% sure that'll work...





Interesting how the most talked-about banger in the Vert category was that no-handed 900, last seen not that far off 10 years ago by a certain Mr. Hoffman. Progression...

For the record, I'm all about the lines and transfers Chase Hawk bangs out.
