Rob Dyrdek Here-Street League 2012 Official Thread

[sluggers]

For Paul it isn't switch anymore, it is just how he skates.

Yes, it is a gimmick.

[DaSk8D00D]

that doesnt change the fact that he's still doing extremely difficult tricks

so if dylan reider were to switch back tail shuv out across & down a hubba like p-rod did, he should get a higher score because he isnt as good a switch skater? yeah, ok 

[FrenchFuck]

There's definitely an anti-nyjah bias among the judges although even they can't not score the crazy shit he's doing really high.

When Nyjah was accepting the trophies/check Rob almost seemed bummed and unenthusiastic. I don't think it's possible to set up the contest so that Nyjah doesn't win everytime and with each progressing series we see time and again that Nyjah is too strong.

I think the other riders getting oddly high scores here and there is part the balancing act , sometimes it's blatantly unfair while at other times it gives us the illusion that someone else might win.  

All in all it'd be cool if the runs were longer , 45seconds is clearly too constraining. If they keep doing the "runs" they should put more QPs and Banks so the riders don't have to stop and could get more tricks in.

P-Rod is regular foot at this point.

When you skate regular the entire contest and all your hardest tricks are done that stance and you can't even do them goofy then you can't call it switch anymore.

does anyone know were theres a link to the footage of tommy sandoval frontside flipping of the course?

Dylan wouldnt do a trick as gay as a switch back tail shuv to begin with.

the only weakness nyjah ever had was when they had the ledge section but that was boring and they cut it out.

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

Paul has done plenty of regular stanced tricks. He can do a lot of switch, and did a lot in this contest, but he's not like Sammy Baptista, Danny Montoya, Brian Emmers, or Keenan Milton (not saying he didn't rip, just name one memorable regular trick he's done, its all switch)

[DopeMan]

Man I was rooting for Bastien...too bad he didn't win...He probably still got a shitload of money...Mikey Taylor wants to be Dylan in my opinion...with his little hairdo and his tight ass pants...For some reason his skating is so boring to me...Chaz too...I don't think Malto took the contest that seriously...

[sluggers]

Luan had one of the best runs of the weekend despite not making it into the final:

I thought bastien would be a little more toned down on the self cheers, he wasn't. I liked the celebration after the big flip front board, keep it up.

[Donkey Lips]

I forget Malto is even around until street league happens.

You must of missed his last nike ad, pretty much changed the game with that one.

[Thrillho]

That course needs a barrier.  And that contest needs a Deer Man.

What fucking world do you live in where $40K is not a shitload of money for a weekend playing on a useless wooden toy?

How does that negate $40,000 being a shitload of money? He made more money in a weekend than a lot of people make in a year.

It's really not that much for a skater who didn't win any money the last couple years.......

I'd like to tell you how stupid you are, but I'm afraid I won't be able to use small enough words or sentences for you to understand it.
Are you saying going from making $0 to $40k isn't that much or.... fuck I don't even know...just fucking stop.

Sluggers you're such a Mark. Just say you don't like the way Prod skates.  It's pretty well documented the Prod can skate both ways equally well.

Research has shown that stupid people are too stupid to know that they're stupid.
