I just started getting into flatland stuff about 3 days ago and suck so far, I blame my sh*tty bike and lack of practice.

Saw it live on freecaster....Raphs run was very consistent...top three for sure...I thought Matthias was better...I really don't see Martti in front of Dez...he was entertaining, but come on...that's really ridiculous...Dez's Run was DEFINETLY better than Vicky's...I thought he was going top three for sure...quite questionable...
Regarding the judging...Michael Sommer was in the jury and he explained their way of judging...sounded like that stuff he wrote in his open letter...main focus is originality...
seems like their is no judging system without flaws...

Opinions are like assholes they all stink.. Raph rode..Rather amazing for the apparent lack of time he has been putting in training. Im not really sure if any of you understand the difficulty of what he is doing there...But its top tier, dis-regards to how long its been going down or whatever.

Matthias, while..Can dominate and make almost anything look amazingly controlled..Just seemed like that pop/snap that he usually has wasnt there today.
Martti...Fighting himself?SICK HIGHSPEED ROLLAID...
Dez..man he held it together solid...I definately seen him passing viki up today..But then again it comes down to does one big bomb..over throw several "lil" bombs?
Cant complain really..Whole event was actually pretty damn good for what mother nature aloud. I just hope theres no hard feelings or any bad outlooks upon this, as the score is the score..the judges were picked and ok'd before the event happend. Take it how it roll...
Will be interesting to see where raph lands in the world circuit standings now..Are some contests worth more points then others?

Did Terry and Justin have to fly out before the comp due to the weather delays?  or did they not show up at all?

I was watching some of the coverage this morning on Freecaster, and their "Xgames" type attempt at covering the flatland seemed very "boring" to watch.  These are individual runs they're showing online, but how did the finals go?  did they do a jam format or was this more of a structured deal that will again, like the xgames, make flatland looking "boring"?
