Enough already. Tired of watching Broski skate that tiny rail. Worst judging decision in the history of rollerblading. Urbas got shafted.
March 5th, 2012 at 8:27 am
too funny watching Americans applaud Broskow small skating. In France we laugh at him. He comes to Wintrerclash and skates smallest rail in the park. everyone points and laughs. then we watch Cudot 1260 into a grind on a big box. maybe next year hold BCSD in someones driveway so Broski can skate a p-rail and you can all applaud.
March 5th, 2012 at 11:25 am
so good to see some sort of tv coverage. as for everyone ripping broskow. his skating was incredibly solid and if you can’t appreciate the tech watch his old vids and realise he’s done all the biggest hammers before. he still does them now but he’s cleaned up his style so much you may have to watch twice to realise how hard the trick was because he made it look so easy.
not gonna lie, small rails aren’t too impressvie but 540 ao top sole on a free standing raill…
March 5th, 2012 at 12:23 pm
Am i the only realizing he desastered into the rail he ????
March 5th, 2012 at 12:37 pm
What about a best trick for next year??? Broskow can win that thing and a skater, who uses the hole park with a bigger range of obstacles and tricks can take the hammer home…
March 5th, 2012 at 12:58 pm
People are focusing too much on the size of the obstacles tricks were done on; judges look at more than that.
March 5th, 2012 at 2:47 pm
^^ looks like best trick contest to me either. If judging was like this @ Winterclash 2012 then Romain Godenaire would take 1st place without any doubt.

Jon julio
45 year old pro rollerblader.
And I’m calling it now. Haffey and Farmer are following in Julio’s footsteps. Now that they are part owners with Julio on Youth Co., they can NEVER BE FIRED. So it looks like we’ll be stuck with at least these 3 pros FOREVER. And Youth doesn’t mean the up and coming kids. Haffey said that they, because they are skating past 25, are redefining what “youth” means in blading. So Julio at 35 is youthful, and it’s the beginning of a new era for him.

“American skaters are the best in the world. Therefore we have the best skaters in the world competing here at Bitter Cold.” FAIL!!
and now that Farmer and Haffey are part owners of Youth Co., they can stay pro for as long as they want. They’ll be like Julio on Valo, and the decision of whether or not they stay pro is entirely up to them. THEY WILL BE PRO FOREVER!! Thank God for the European scene. If it weren’t for them we would never see new, fresh talent.

Is the A Frame and Sub Box REALLY a HUGE obstacle???? Are you guys saying this because you would be scared to skate that stuff. the ONLY big obstacle was the rainbow rail and launch to grind, NOT the A Frame and Sub boxes, duh.
March 5th, 2012 at 4:09 pm
finally some good news coverage!
March 5th, 2012 at 4:21 pm
I like the idea of judging with a comp winner and a Best Trick winner. Then this year, Urbas would have won the comp, and Haffey, Hake or Bailey would have won Bst trick.
No matter how you change the rules, Broski should not have won anything for skating that tiny rail. No risk involved. Haffey almost killed himself.
And talking about style and control on a tap rail is ludicrous. Grow some balls and go big, and then talk about style and control.
March 5th, 2012 at 6:23 pm
man yet more proof urbas and so many others deserved to place higher then AB………….
March 5th, 2012 at 8:26 pm
Big thanks to Detroit blade-bro Mike Tiseo for providing the news coverage!
March 5th, 2012 at 9:35 pm
wtf is the war between USA and Europe , just got 1 thing to say , I aint american BTW but somebody said sumthin about broskow did everything and the style and what not . totally agree …europe get some style and come back ,thanks! even if USA isnt the best right now I have never seen europe reach USA level
March 6th, 2012 at 2:34 am
Europe and France, all you cunts are fucking living in the past and don’t push innovation.
Brosky has done everything you euros are doing now, his pushing new tricks that no one has done, are you fucking blind, all yous are saying is small obstacle this and big obstacle that, blading needs innovation and you cunts arnt doing it any good. no fucking creativity from you mindless cunts, broskow is ahead of his time.
disaster fakie 5 sweater, right foot
disaster 5 ao top soul, left foot
those were decent enough disasters for that trick, its not coming from transition which I believe is much harder.
so fuck you cunts
March 6th, 2012 at 2:46 am
@Jim….Broskow skated a p-rail…lmao nuff said. post here when he grows balls.
March 6th, 2012 at 2:52 am
BCSD awarding first to Broskow just made it more obvious that Europe now has the most dominant skaters in the world. Cudot and Nils would have duplicated Broskows trick on any obstacle in the park, and probably could have disastered 720 or 900 on that skateboard rail. Americans have become such pussies when they skate.
March 6th, 2012 at 3:09 am
If Broski was a surfer, he would surf tiny waves a few feet off shore, while the other pros would be skating a sunami with 40 foot waves in the middle of sharks.
Broski’s fanBoys would sit on the sand in their Speedos clapping everytime Broski tapped a tiny wave. Do you really think the surf judges would ever award a comp to a guy who can’t surf big waves? Do you really think the guy on the tiny wave has better style and control than the guy surfing the sunami?
If you do, than your Speedo wearing douchebag.
gtfo This is aggressive skating, not figure skating.
March 6th, 2012 at 7:23 am
This is a perfect example of the exposure that we need more of! No stupid terminology, no stupid fuckin idiots saying things about rollerblading that makes no since, no goofy faces were made where skateboarders could look for anything like always to call us gay, and more hammers were dropped in this video than last years news report that I saw.
March 6th, 2012 at 3:06 pm
all this euro vs us stuff is just about gay. and broskow took home that comp for a reason. those two tricks were amazing, and they were executed like they were his fucking safety tricks. dont kid yourselves. broskow may not be a hammer slammer, but no other pro can lay a trick down like that other than broskow.
March 7th, 2012 at 2:25 am
No way Boskow won. he skated one obstacle. fuck that. and the smallest obstacle at that. And his 2 tricks weren’t that amazing at all. They were tapped. And Sizmeore did same trick 2 years ago on the MUCH BIGGER A-Frame.
Urbas won.
March 7th, 2012 at 4:13 pm
There are a lot of haters writing about skating as if they could have executed the same tricks as the winner. The fact is all the skaters at the comp skated there hardest, but one skater left the judges with a lasting impression. This is how the sport works if a skater does a technical trick and makes it look effortless, then this will be more impressive than someone spinning to win. Alex is doing what the sport needs, he is giving it a refined style.
Let us get back to what is important, exposure of the sport and the continued refining of the tricks. Please there is so much hate in the world these days, lets leave it at the door and go skate.
get back to the soul of skating.

u think broskow might have one because he might of been having the most fun and landing hard tricks. to me it kinda looked like everybody was trying way to hard to win. and somebody said something about lasting impressions, broskow does this by blading near the end of the comp. only seen him do it twice, so it could just be coincidence
