If they give chocolate that horrible 5050 bigspin at 3rd and army, and that nollie big inward heel, than johnnys 5050 and birdhouse shove should count.
The Birdhouse shove-it was not at all what was supposed to happen. Don't compare it to some sloppy landings and hand drags.
Neither deserve points
Elijah's 50-50 bigspin was in a race, so I can see how they'd let it slide, and I definitely remember some KOTR sequences running with hands down and toe drags. I don't think it's an issue as long as the skater in question rolls away. As for Johnny's 50-50, it's a tricky grey area, but between the sack-to-scorpion and Raven's concussion, Chocolate probably has best slam in the bag. As for Birdhouse, that front shove (and doing tricks that you already did next to someone twerking) is straight point grubbing.
I'm curious as to see how many points Elijah's racked up, he handled three 150 point tricks (more than any one person, I think) and what seems like a few "Highest, Longest, Most". He should get extra points for calling out Clint Walker and his man bun.
Also, you guys realize that there's a fair bit of skating that ends up exclusively in the Thrasher episodes? I thought it was odd Vice didn't include Blake Carpenter's selfie stick nollie crooks in this one.
