The riding I saw was insane. 

I just wish Flatland would nix the 'emcee' position once and for all.

He didn't have to.  His back wheel runs were packed with NEW links and they(links) were very diverse. On the flip side there were a lot of riders that never got on the back wheel.  I have to give him props for being sooooo creative.  There are limitless positions and variations that can be accessed on the front end, but it is just you and the rear wheel at the back of the bike and the fact that EVERYTHING that he did was TOTALLY original and new said a lot IMO.  Anyone who has seen him ride the front wheel knows that he can absolutely kill it, but he made the decision to come out and ONLY bring new stuff to the table.  That would be like Matt W. coming out and not doing any of his spinning combos for the entire comp.  I don't think that ANYONE expected to see what they saw from Uuchi. Props

I would love for someone to post a video of the Ucchie vs. Miller battle.  That was the best battle of the whole contest--both riders hit about everything, and the decision could have gone either way.

That was an awesome battle.  My favorite battle(s) were ALL of them that Dominik Nelkony was a part of.  That guy has mad skillz.

Yep, Dominik was awesome. 

I videotaped the first four battles, then my video camera's battery died.  It was all good though because I had been filming all day--but I definitely didn't get Ucchie and Dominick's very best stuff.

I was downstairs all day long, and then upstairs for the Finals.  I will put a highlights video on Youtube at some point, unless everyone else gets to it first  :)

This was the 3rd. Voodoo Jam I've judged, and believe me they haven't gotten any easier!  Thanks for calling me a Gentleman TJ!  It was a pleasure judging with all y'all!

Peace,

Thanks!!  (I'll try to thank you in person next time  :)  I hope everyone who couldn't make it to the contest checks out this video, that battle was sooo exciting.

I have his third place qualifying run which was near perfect as I remember...it just may take me a little while to get it posted, someone else may get to it first  :)

Why? So the non-riding crowd can be bored after 5 minutes and leave? Flatland doesn't get much more than a golf clap without someone to hype the crowd, and Scott does a great job at it.
