Judging lately has been the worst I've ever seen it, and people ask me why I don't really enjoy going to contests or competing. Sorry, but Joris was the wrong call period, and that other battle seems fishy as well. We can give all the blind props we want to organizers and sponsors, but we really do need to set some standards for what is tolerable when it comes to judging. Floor, venue, music, redbull girls or not whatever people can adapt. When you pick shill judges with bias and agendas everything else means little to nothing. So yeah, props for putting on a contest, but pick better judges.
I think it would be a really good idea to make it absolutely clear as to what the judging criteria is for any contest. Maybe the organizers could actually post a large billboard showing the order and weight of certain aspects such as difficulty, originality, etc. This way, riders would know exactly how they should ride in order to get the best placement possible.Also, I find it important to say that all judges of a pro level contest should be at least near pro level -- plain and simple. I don't know who the judges were for this contest, but I've seen too many where the judges were hardly expert level and the results were terribly flawed.
Sounds great, BUT its so hard to find the judges. There are not enough people willing and able to attend a contest.
in french. Merci Pascal pour ton énorme travail d'organisation au circle cow. Pour tous les riders d'europe, c'est un incontournable. Ceux qui critiquent, c'est en général ceux qui ne font pas. Heureusement que j'organise l'astrolabe la tete dans le guidon car il y' a certains commantaires qui font peur. Circle cow, flatland contest by flatlanders for flatlanders.PS, ceux qui veulent venir à l'astolabe pour critiquer peuvent rester chez eux,ON a tous la meme passion merde.
