As others have said, there is no excuse for giving a bigspin hurricane a 7.8. When the judges came out scoring low I was like “ok fine as long as it stays like this” - but then it just didn’t. The scores basically went back to normal, so they just screwed over the first heat. Sora made it but the fact it was ever in doubt is insane.

Sls judging is probably the most inconsistent scoring I’ve ever seen. Have watched everyone and every single comp it’s so different. Just glad they added the 2nd line section back in.
the scoring was definitely too low in the first heat or two, and many comments here are justifiably complaining about that, but people are focusing on sora shirai and felipe mota, when mickey papa is being overlooked as the one who was the most negatively affected by just barely not making the finals cut when he easily and obviously should have. (sora shirai was also underscored, but still made it to the finals anyways, and felipe mota, after getting robbed on the bigspin hurricane, missed his next three trick attempts, although the bad score may have thrown him off) mickey papa got a score of 7.0 for the following run: 1) kickflip 50/50 on medium gap rail 2) kickflip boardslide on medium rail 3) nollie heelflip over gap 4) nosegrind on small rail 5) kickflip 5-0 on stair hubba 6) bigspin boardslide on kink rail 7) 360 flip over gap 8) kickflip lipslide on big rail that was 8 perfectly landed tricks with no sketchiness, 7 of the 8 were flip/spin tricks (4 of which were kickflip + rail/ledge combos, plus the bigpsin rail trick)... and that only got a 7.0!? compare that to some later run scores, including many runs - with falls - that got *higher* scores: - alex midler's first run, comparable if not slightly easier, got an 8.1 - midler's second run, fell once and got a 7.4 - vincent milou's first run, fell on his last trick and got a 7.8 - luan oliviera's first run, totally flubbed his last trick and got an 8.4 - nyjah huston's first run, fell on his second trick and got a 7.8 there are more examples/comparisons in later heats too, but clearly mickey papa deserved more like an 8.0 - 8.5 run score (at least), which would have given him at least another point and put him somewhere in 5th-8th place. the skaters who made the top 8 were all excellent and earned their spots, so not intending to take anything away from them or their performances, and it would really have sucked for whoever ended up in the 9th spot and didn't make the cut... but regardless, mickey papa was definitely scored unfairly and inconsistently on his run score, and it cost him the spot in the finals.
The judges play mad favourites. Especially since they expect the big names won't be hucking their biggest tricks until the finals. Absolute joke in prelims.
I've definitely noticed Sora being underscored in a lot of competitions... Dew tour and Olympics he was definitely underscored on a lot of tricks. Also I think it just happens a lot of the younger skaters who don't have the same name recognition as the more established guys. Definitely a bias on judging.
People are saying it’s too early and that’s why Sora got a lower score than deserved. personally, I don’t see any excuse at all and I believe in that instance that the judges messed up and made a really poor call which did not reflect the proper score in the end.
You can: Mike Mo Capaldi, Billy Marks, Davis Torgerson, Jimmy Gorecki, and Scott Pfaff as per the SLS website and a video they dropped bragging about their judges earlier this week.
All of the Japanese kids that are popping up these days are f-ing amazing! A few years ago there was the “Brazilian Invasion”, I think its now becoming a “Japanese Invasion”… What a great time to be a skateboarding fan and spectator!🤘
He brought new tricks right when competions have just been about bug hubba tricks. You could just see in the finals the pressure he put on the whole contest.
The judging failure is beyond apparent now and takes away from the contest. While judging skating is subjective in itself, the bias and inconsistencies are so bad. Eventually people won't watch or go and just wait for the highlights.
I already do wait for the highlights bro. The judging ruins the whole scene..how can I respect someone who wins comps based on bias and not because they were the better skater. That ain't it fam.
What in the actual hell is going on with the judging? First heat got absolutely screwed. Between that and what happened with Aurelian getting screwed on the score for his hardflip lateflip last contest, I really think some new judges need to be hired or something.
Aurelien did it in different contest, so I think the judge is different aswell, but the reason why he got low scored on that Hardflip is because he already did hardflip variation before, its counted as repetition
@@zonertube My understanding is that contest was run by the same crew just rebranded. Maybe I misunderstood. As for the hardflip lateflip over the hubba down a gap that big, I think maybe you don't quite understand how intense that trick is down/over something that big. The whole comments section was livid about it.
@@Skapo I know that trick is gnarly and I am not doubting it, but first u have to read the scoring rules, u would get a lower score if u already did some hardflip variation before,, and we know he did hardflip backside 180 at the first single trick attempt

Seriously need to step it up on the judging. I'm tired of watching first heat get shafted all the damn time. Clean ranks if you have to, bigspin to hurricane a 7.8, blow me judges.
It’s like they’re hesitant to throw out big scores early on??? I don’t know. I watched that first heat like damnnn what is gonna take for a 9 club this year….
The amount of control that went into mota’s trick is insane, should have been at least a 9. Sometimes it feels like the judges only give those real big scores to nyjah
The judge is not consistent because they score Sora very low even the trick he made is more norlie than the other who got high score. Just because it’s to early to give a high score that why they didn’t not give him a high score.
dudem bigsping huracane not geting a 9 is an absolute insult, such disrespect, it feels like the ones giving the scores are skate 3 players getting mad cos he didn't do a 360 hardflip backflip trany, sls is such a joke
It's great to see SLS back, but you need to have more consistent judging. It really spoilt the experience to see competitors getting completely screwed over for no apparent reason.
It's way less stressful to watch this and not pretend it's a competition. Just great skating. Still heartbreaking to see Mota get thrown off after getting fucked. Kids been doing this for years now. Deserves some respect.
9.2 for Sora’s repetitive alley oop tricks, while Felipe gets a 7.8 for a bigspin hurricane which literally no one does. I’m cool with Sora’s scores but Felipe’s trick and Micky’s laser flip back lip are both 9’s as well. Kelly.. judges.. what the fuq dude. Been waiting all year for SLS but every year the judging gets worse
Dude a damn bum. Doing the same trick over and over again. His best trick is the varial heel 50-50. Dude is beyond pathetic at this point. Good for the fans but bad for the sport. Next ✌🏼
for real. they invite him yet sora shirai had to qualify, and so many insane japanese skaters missed out. because of manny “varial heel into a grind is my only trick and i cant even land it” santiago
In the end it’s a business and Manny is/was a fan favourite. The new wave of skaters is here though and a few of the older sls legends will have to make way
I never ever bash the judges on these things, but heat 1 and 2 were scored super harsh compared to heat 3. Prods switch run with a bail was the only first run in heat 3 with a bail that deserved that score. Some favouritism going on there, maybe unintentional but definitely happened.
The 2 lines and 4 trick format is so much better. Thank you for changing it. However, the first heat got absolutely shafted. I was convinced after that first heat, the judges collectively decided to roll all scores back like 1.5 points from where they were last year to give room for scores to grow again... But no, that was just bad judging that made it virtually impossible for anyone in the first heat to succeed. Vincent is a great skater, but he literally Frontside flip motions into every trick. Kickflip back board, kickflip front lip, kickflip front tail, etc. Please, if Yuto no longer gets 9s for his one of a kind tricks, then start judging Vincent for constantly doing the same 3 tricks too. The kickflip gap to back board was insane and a lot could've gone wrong, but I would like to see skaters who bring variety making it through Pre-elims. If Vincent made it through and Sora didn't, there would be riots. 😂
I know we have all done it. Finally seeing doin especially a flip trick normal or into a grind. Seein it slow motion. I feel like Paul and Shane can see every tinny movement everytime. Zero hope. All 100 knowing. Also they play the pockets of a skateboard. Either way there insane
When im talkin about slow motion im referring to having a really good day skateboarding. Where things go perfect everything feels good. When im talkin about Prod im talking about his board control. Hes way more sure or aware whats gonna happen. His style shows it. When im saying playin the pockets there feet when they pop a trick is never at the end of the tail or nose
It would be nice to have a parallel competition just for "SLS Legends" and have Torey, Malto, Koston, Sandoval, Tiago, Paul, Sheckler, Cole, etc. so we can enjoy their skating without worrying about the competition and trying to do crazy things like the 20's years old guys here.
It’s also crazy that a tre 50 on a huge circle rail gets an 8.8. Cmon how would that not be a 9? The amt of precision that takes 😳 I also think yuto got an 8.8 for the nollie 270 lip, which I feel would be overscored since he has way less risk going into boardslide. Especially vs tre 50 😔
@@b.l4365 no chance. The amount of accuracy and precision it takes to tre onto a huge circle rail is ridiculous. It’s close but tre 50 100% harder. More risk
@@JonahSilbert The trick is in front of you. How is that harder 😂 There’s a reason people can do 360 crooked grind etc. Not everyone can do nollie 270 lip.
@@b.l4365 as I said, more precision and accuracy required. Into 50 on a huge circle rail. Whereas although yuto is backside, he has more room for error landing into bs
This is what happens when the judges are friends with half of the players. It needs to be like old school Olympics. Representatives from multiple countries and a legit scoring guideline. This is getting outtta hand. Your gonna lose your Olympic rights if it’s gets too bad. Rome could turn into a much bigger tour if they need it to.

Judges must have heard how Rowley felt
I feel like Felipe gets robbed a lot just for his age or something. But a big spin hurricane is easily a 9.4+
Judges mistakenly thought it was a bigspin front board, I believe. That's why there should be score "re-analysis" at the end.

Totalmente de acuerdo

(sora shirai was also underscored, but still made it to the finals anyways, and felipe mota, after getting robbed on the bigspin hurricane, missed his next three trick attempts, although the bad score may have thrown him off)
mickey papa got a score of 7.0 for the following run:
1) kickflip 50/50 on medium gap rail
2) kickflip boardslide on medium rail
3) nollie heelflip over gap
4) nosegrind on small rail
5) kickflip 5-0 on stair hubba
6) bigspin boardslide on kink rail
7) 360 flip over gap
8) kickflip lipslide on big rail
that was 8 perfectly landed tricks with no sketchiness, 7 of the 8 were flip/spin tricks (4 of which were kickflip + rail/ledge combos, plus the bigpsin rail trick)... and that only got a 7.0!?
compare that to some later run scores, including many runs - with falls - that got *higher* scores:
- alex midler's first run, comparable if not slightly easier, got an 8.1
- midler's second run, fell once and got a 7.4
- vincent milou's first run, fell on his last trick and got a 7.8
- luan oliviera's first run, totally flubbed his last trick and got an 8.4
- nyjah huston's first run, fell on his second trick and got a 7.8
there are more examples/comparisons in later heats too, but clearly mickey papa deserved more like an 8.0 - 8.5 run score (at least), which would have given him at least another point and put him somewhere in 5th-8th place.
the skaters who made the top 8 were all excellent and earned their spots, so not intending to take anything away from them or their performances, and it would really have sucked for whoever ended up in the 9th spot and didn't make the cut... but regardless, mickey papa was definitely scored unfairly and inconsistently on his run score, and it cost him the spot in the finals.
And that sir is why i did not have time to write my essay. I had to write an essay on something more important
Mickey was robbed
I couldn't agree more. Micky got absolutely robbed on a level hardly seen. That first heat had totally different scoring. What a joke.
#rubric
and mickys lazer flip bs lip slide was also amazing and got not the love it deserved from the judges
I can understand lower scoring at the start of preliminaries but that was ridiculous.
Almost spoiled it. Do better SLS.
almost? more like they did screwed it
Shane do a easy sw flip fs board on a small rail. Big spin hurricane at the big rail 7.8. 0 sense 😂
Had me screaming.
Yeah just ask Micky Papa. He got hosed. He should've been top 8 for sure.
Eso no se puede permitir...hasta mi abuela se dió cuenta!
"that was the best trick I've seen in street league in a long time" ... 7.8

I know we have all done it. Finally seeing doin especially a flip trick normal or into a grind. Seein it slow motion. I feel like Paul and Shane can see every tinny movement everytime. Zero hope. All 100 knowing. Also they play the pockets of a skateboard. Either way there insane
No idea what this means. Can’t tell if the comment is props or hate. Lol
When im talkin about slow motion im referring to having a really good day skateboarding. Where things go perfect everything feels good. When im talkin about Prod im talking about his board control. Hes way more sure or aware whats gonna happen. His style shows it. When im saying playin the pockets there feet when they pop a trick is never at the end of the tail or nose
It would be nice to have a parallel competition just for "SLS Legends" and have Torey, Malto, Koston, Sandoval, Tiago, Paul, Sheckler, Cole, etc. so we can enjoy their skating without worrying about the competition and trying to do crazy things like the 20's years old guys here.
It’s also crazy that a tre 50 on a huge circle rail gets an 8.8. Cmon how would that not be a 9? The amt of precision that takes 😳 I also think yuto got an 8.8 for the nollie 270 lip, which I feel would be overscored since he has way less risk going into boardslide. Especially vs tre 50 😔
Tre 50-50 is easier than a nollie 270 lip bud lol. C’mon dude.
nollie 270 lip had a blind side unless you have 360 vision
@@b.l4365 no chance. The amount of accuracy and precision it takes to tre onto a huge circle rail is ridiculous. It’s close but tre 50 100% harder. More risk
@@JonahSilbert The trick is in front of you. How is that harder 😂 There’s a reason people can do 360 crooked grind etc. Not everyone can do nollie 270 lip.
@@b.l4365 as I said, more precision and accuracy required. Into 50 on a huge circle rail. Whereas although yuto is backside, he has more room for error landing into bs
bs overk 8.3
bs croocked nollie flip out 8.1
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?
GUSTAVO RIBERO!!! ALL-DAY!!!
Wouldn’t be surprised if P-Rod came out as regular lol, way way way too good at switch
Where are the Finals? Think it's not available for some countries on YT. I'm from Portugal
I like this course, seems quick fired and compacted so it's different to watch
Did I just pay for espn + bc they told me to and then they released it on TH-cam for free lol
Does anyone know wich shoes Gustavo wears for example at 2:09:40?
This is what happens when the judges are friends with half of the players. It needs to be like old school Olympics. Representatives from multiple countries and a legit scoring guideline. This is getting outtta hand. Your gonna lose your Olympic rights if it’s gets too bad. Rome could turn into a much bigger tour if they need it to.
Can we start replaying the full runs?
Or at least the good parts
So two tricks that they've never seen before don't get high 8's or 9's? What a slap in the face.
