You obviously don’t know what happened then. Lee’s boat stalled and wouldn’t start back up after his 2nd trick today in round 3 (after he landed a double backflip and his signature heel clicker backflip). We pushed Jace Forest’s ski out to him and he finished his routine on that. He did a phenomenal finale on Jace’s Helium. But, the IJSBA rules state that a rider is only allowed to compete on one boat AND if he does not perform for 1 minute (out of the 2 minute routine) then you get 0 points. Therefore, it left the door open for Mark Gomez to take the title. Mark was on fire this weekend too.
Side note, Hassan Abudawood took 2nd in Amateur AND Pro Freestyle this weekend. An amateur has never bumped up to Pro and made it on the podium in the same weekend.
Here’s the results.

Hey man I'm thousands of miles away and only get to see what's online for the time being. I definetly have absolutely no clue what went on there. Wow that's an unfortune series if events for lee. There's no way I could of known that from the 3 pictures I saw on Instagram. Both riders are obviously on an insane level

That's a shame for Lee. He will still be immortalised as the first guy to do a double in competition

Should have done a dead engine routine.......... outcome would have been different. But the frustration of the moment and all the work he put in this past year came down hard at that moment.

Stone had 40 points. Why did he not finish in 5th?

I'm guessing he didn't compete over one minute on the same ski.

I wonder how he is taking it. You'd hate to push him away.

May I ask what exactly is a "Dead engine routine?" (I'm just curious) I tried looking through the IJSBA rule book (there's a lot of pages) but didn't find it.

That's why he got a 0 for the 3rd moto. He received 40 points for moto 1+ moto 2. Why wouldn't he get 5th? Other riders didn't ride all 3 motos and placed above him.

You climb up on your ski and do any thing you can to entertain the crowd and judges to keep the clock going. Had he made it past 1 minute he would have been scored.

I am gonna say he was probably so frustrated that he chose not to go to post tech. They usually tech top 5 This can get you an overall DQ.....

First double backie on flatwater was done with a fixed steer. Just sayin. When are you pole guys going to give in and realize the future. Poles are for strippers.
