I think I shot some vid of you before Lee somehow drew my attention. :smile:

 

[yamaslut]

lee stone is not from OZ, is he?? I thought he was from england.

 

[yamaslut]

why no ANT?

 

[Matt_E]

Lee is from UK, but very recently moved to Australia. Ant didn't compete because he dislocated his shoulder in practice.

 

[yamaslut]

sucks... was pulling for him. good peoples

 

[chasingdaylight]

sucks... was pulling for him. good peoples

yea it sucked

 

[d_moss]

egos and smegos!!!!! Whatcha gonna do?

I would look for a new EME sponsored rider for 12 and a new ride under sky high Lee too.
Just a prediction, was a good combo while it lasted fo sho.

Um yeah... if i was helped and probably funded by eme I would ride even if i had a broken throttle finger. -10 respect points for lee stone. Fly from around the world not to compete.. wtf

Everything now has titles. I plan to work on some editing this weekend and do a highlight clip. It might even have some of those Kokomos dancers in it. :smile:

I dont envy the judges in this comp.. I think they got the top 3 correct, I dont think the top 3 were in the correct order however.
I think the winner deserved it due to hight and the added no handed features and only one bobble / error.
I think second should have been 3rd, he had more hieght then Ivan but he had more mistakes and the degree of difficulty was fairly equal, BUT Ivan did do one no handed trick where the Jap did NONE. Ivan had one Bobble/ error and the Jap had 3. IMO Ivan deserved 2nd and a close to 1st had he just had a little more height he would have had 1st.

I dont know any of these guys so not taking sides, I just think the Japs this year harnessed some nuclear power from the leakage and put it in there boats, HUGE air by these guys, all of them really.

Hats off to all but I think Ivan was the smoothest of the 3 and stayed VERY busy with ALOT of time in the sky.

thanks again rasper99 for the awesome vids. I wish I knew how to load all on one CD to play at after ride parties to some bad ass jams. All the vids were incredibly well shot with no BS waiting for action, you captured all the rides flawlessly.

 

[RedTurboMr2]

awesome vids, thanks for posting. i wouldn't have seen the WF otherwise.

Ivan flat out killed it!!!!! Most people there that I talked to also agreed that he should have one. Crazy amount of difficult tricks linked together.

yea it suckedView attachment 162460View attachment 162461

does the new xscream hull have the bob bulge or is it just the pic

 

[sjhornet]

Ivan looked way better than the 1st place winner. Maybe that is just because I am biased and think the off axis BF is freaking awesome.

Yep...that's the way I saw it. Japanese riders were imperessive and packing some serious heat!!! No question. But, I would have scored Ivan a 10th of a point, higher. He under -rotated that last flip and hit bottom. I think that's what cost him despite a mind blowing, stellar routine.

Good meeting you Chris!

I dont think that cost him the 1st place at all as the 1st place JAP did the same thing. I think the fact that the jap did some no handed varioations and his height was a little higher in everything is what got the Jap the win. He also performed alot of variation and difficult tricks, he was just a little higher off the water.

But It was a close call, the first time around watching the vids I picked Ivan as the winner because he was so smooth, but the second time I looked at it from a judging stand point, errors, hight, variation and amount of tricks and I think the Jap squeeked by with a point for hieght and some thrown in nohanders as well as some showmanship.

But like I said, coulda gone either way, but He should have DEFINATELY SCored second place IMO!!!!

thanks again rasper99 for the awesome vids. I wish I knew how to load all on one CD to play at after ride parties to some bad ass jams. All the vids were incredibly well shot with no BS waiting for action, you captured all the rides flawlessly.

I will be knocking out a DVD which will be available as a free download. The day job gets in the way of my true calling. :smile: I'm glad you guys can use the vids to discuss the merits of the various riders. I finally got around to watching #1 and #3 this morning. They were both good but #1 had more amplitude. It would be interesting to see the scores the judges gave them like the IJSBA used to post on the web to see the differences.

In regards to the other controversy there is a new message on the EME site. It was a picture (not text) which is attached.


Thanks for the props on the vids. I bought a monopod for the event. It has a setup where you leave the monopod collapsed, put a string loop around your neck, hook the bottom of the monopod on the string and rest the bottom of the monopod on your belly. I was very happy with how well it worked. It felt good except the monopod digging into my belly. A minor bruise for the cause.
