The "panel of experts" voted and...

1st place - Silas
2nd place - dechenzo
3rd place - Daewon

The judges couldn't be any further off from the fan votes. Westgate beat Silas 73% to 27%. The same thing happened last year.

WHAT??? That's some bullshit. I mean Silas was sick and all especially that smith to immediate fs flip off the curb but the only winners could've been Westgate, Dylan, Shultz or Guru and they weren't in the top 3? X-Games brings its lameness to the street skating too, not really a surprise I guess.

Westgate's part was awesome but a bit light on content. Guru's seemed slower than everyone else's. It was really noticeable watching it back-to-back with Dylan's part.

I dunno if I would've picked Silas, but I'm definitely not gonna fault anyone that did.

I think Silas deserved it, but Eli & Guru should have been in the top three for sure.

joey B's part was dope

I liked Silas' part before, but when I saw it on my 50 inch LCD TV, it looked even better than before.

Silas is tight
Ryan isn't on my radar, I can't bring myself to like him
Daewon did some tight shit

Soul Doubt · « **Reply #9 on:** July 30, 2011, 03:22:32 PM »

Silas definitely deserved it but it wasn't close to my favorite. At least Westgate got the voter one and $5000.

silas first makes sense, daewon third doesnt make sense, but as said before, money helps get money

It's all opinion. Get the fuck over it.

thunderwood · « **Reply #12 on:** July 30, 2011, 06:00:42 PM »

Don't really think that Silas should have won.. but it was pretty funny that Sal, the announcer called Westgate "Brian Westgate" for half the contest.

I feel you! And this whole "Real Street" thing is just weird.

I really thought eli reed was gonna win this for some reason. decenzo's frontside flip over the hollywood 16 fence was crazy

Well the judges do the judging not the fans.

A waste of perfectly good footage.

Silas' part is the best, I'm glad he won. And I think that Eli should have got second place.

At first I was like "!" but then I was just all naan.

layzieyez · « **Reply #21 on:** July 31, 2011, 07:29:04 AM »

Silas was the only part I wanted to watch more than once. All skating. Deserved. Why would you even waste one second of your minute on lifestyle crap?

codithou · « **Reply #22 on:** July 31, 2011, 12:21:16 PM »

Regardless of the judging and that shit, I'm just happy to see footage from some skaters that I enjoy watching.
That's all that really matters right?

Boomhauer · « **Reply #23 on:** July 31, 2011, 03:12:48 PM »

Speaking of footage, where can i watch all the parts? I can only view a few on the espn website.

aojiru · « **Reply #24 on:** July 31, 2011, 03:33:38 PM »

X Games youtube channel has a playlist. http://www.youtube.com/user/XGames#grid/user/12A09B7E11B209CE

Tried watching a few on the espn site but the ads made me start hating Duracell.

Lot of parts had way too much lifestyle or trying to be artsy stuff but then again, maybe a lot of guys didn't care.

When will Masakela go away and take Sheckler, Andy Mac and Shaun White, etc. with him?

lifestlye footage = usually filler material to get tricks better synced with the song (beat, mood etc.)
