I thought Fred's part was impressive, but his competition's footage was jaws dropping.

dayyyyyuuum

Can't believe Haslam is beating Nyjah right now.  Looks like all of the vote Bobby stuff is working too because he is crushing Jaws at the moment.

i really don't give a fuck who anyone votes for. BUT i was seeing shit like "vote for fred gall, save street skateboarding" and other bullshit like that when the dude did not deserve to win it with the footage he put forth. his origins part was definitely better than that, so it's not like he was really putting in his best effort. jaws on the other hand pretty much risked his future in skating with most of those tricks, and whether you like that type of skating or not, you gotta appreciate someone going all in like that.

yes it's real street, but it's still a fucking competition. so if you're gonna vote for fred gall cause you enjoy his skating more, do it. but don't promote it like it's the right choice to make. if this was just a "skateboarding's favorite skater" award, they wouldn't have included unused footage. i don't remember if you were necessarily one of the ones promoting gall like that, and again, i don't really care that people voted for him, i'm just saying don't try to pass it off like it was the logical decision to make.

haha save that argument for the people being surprised/upset that fred gall didn't make it through. i haven't been back to the site since i voted the first round, i can't be bothered with that shitty flash website. funny cause the people being suprised/upset at him not making it are also the reason why i don't believe that thread was tongue in cheek.

bobby is the truth, gomez is a faggot.

Bobby is trailing now.  45K votes!!??  The next closest tally got 13K.  I smell foul play.

I'm just psyched that Nyjah's trailing. His footage was fucked, but I'd rather see the money go towards someone who's not already rich.

Did anyone else notice that - between the first and second rounds - the point spread between votes on particular skaters had decreased?

In the first round the spread averaged to 24.5 points, in the second it averaged to only 10.5.  I'm guessing it's because the same number of people are voting for a decreasing number of contestants.

Jaws doesn't deserve to win? I'm pretty sure he put in the most work out of everyone else besides maybe Nyjah. He just put out his A Happy Medium 2 part last year and pretty much has been filming for Real Street since then. Most of these just used old footage which is fine. It's just that Jaws went all out specifically for this part. Also, I'm not sure if everyone realizes this or not but there could be 2 winners. There's the people's choice which is what everyone is voting for everyday and then there's the Real Street contest which is judged by actual judges. So, someone may win the Real Street contest and the Fan Favorite and walk away with $100,000.

jaws is the only one i see winning.

No.

He doesn't deserve to win because he's not enjoyable to watch skate, maybe some of his tranny stuff like that bs noseblunt in his happy medium 2 part. I think him and his style is way overrated, it doesn't get me psyched at all. In hm2 he shouldn't have had last part(hawkins part was way better) and he should win real street but this is 2012 and there's so many people like you in skateboarding now that he probably will. He seems like a nice enough dude and I'm psyched he does his thing but I don't think it represents street skating. Out of the 4 left provost is the only one who is a decent representation of good street skating. Ideally Tim Tim or Bobby should've won, or Nyjah because his footage was so gnarly.

oh shit, i guess i was incorrect in enjoying his footage. hahaha it's crazy to think that people like you exist. i hate watching fred gall skate and i'll hate on him whenever i feel it's appropriate, but i'd never say some shit like "he is not enjoyable to watch" as evidence as to why he doesn't deserve to win.

You sound like a moron. I'm sure the majority of people enjoyed Jaw's video. Just because you didn't doesn't mean that he doesn't deserve to win. Sure some people may have had better style but their footage was no way up to par as Jaws' was with the exception of Nyjah and possibly a few others. I don't think that you understand that this is a contest. If some rad skater enters a contest and fucks up his run, does he win for just being a cool dude? Nope, the skater with the best skating wins. Jaws pushed his limits and truly put a lot of work into his video part which you can tell just by watching it. A lot of these dudes deserve to win so you saying one of dudes with the gnarliest footage doesn't deserve to win just makes you sound stubborn.
