It played on ESPN2 tonight. Flipped to it and was blown away by how bad it was.
1) The venue they were in was so small. The course was so small too.
2) The obstacles were made out of like corrugated metal and staging equipment. Looked so low budget and dangerous to skate.
3) Most notably (this is on ESPN's end) the video feed was in like 1080i or 720i? The on screen display of all of the scores was constantly flickering really bad like a 480i videogame or something. Every single horizontal line was flickering up and down. I can't believe in 2022 that I saw this on my screen. What century are we in that their equipment feed was interlaced? No other channel had this issue (including ESPN1) so it was just ESPN2.
4) The lighting was pretty bad like it was a karaoke bar or something.
I really don't know what to say, this was one of the most bizarre skateboarding events I've seen. And I saw Dew Tour with giant Dew cans all over the course a few months ago.
Shoutout to the giant inflatable cans (there was more than one) that were all placed directly between the audience and the skateboarding.
