Denny's clip was great, and he's an obvious winner in this battle, but I have to say that his clip would've been good enough to smoke Bryan Huffman's Jomopro expert run I just watched on Vimeo. Just wondering if Wouter got a fair shake in this matchup? Not trying to start any static and DEFINITELY not trying to weed out good competition, but Denny's speed and control just didn't scream intermediate to me. It was like watching Wouter go up against Isiah Jordan or something...
WOW! my video is like a frickin punchline compared to that... amazing riding denny!

My saying in contests: "If you can't match the big guns, then pull out the weird guns." Don't look at other riders' runs and think "I can't do those tricks, so I won't be able to hang in this comp". Look at them and then think about the tools (tricks =) you DO have and what you can do with them to be different and bring something new to the contest. Create with your strengths; don't worry about trying to make your riding into something it's not to attempt to hang with the masses. Something different and new in the context of your riding class (intermediate) is just as potent as something just being "new school". This contest isn't all about who can come closest to pulling off a semblance of a Matthias run...
Denny. And yes, he should have been bumped up to expert in my opinion...

And yes, he should have been bumped up to expert in my opinion...I think the jugdes need to see all the videos that send in if they are signed up at the right level..because there is just a to big gap between some riders..and thats not because im loosing now, in beginner class are the same things happening!
