“cudot is the best” “young vs old, young wins”….
haha, have judges forgotten about maturity, lines and style?
broskow has probably already done all the wee man’s tricks years ago.
spin to win was soo last year… gosh.

Phenomenal skating by Browscow and Cudot. If judging on style alone Browscow won, if on amptitude alone Cudot won. Cool edit.

So how much does style count?

By style I mean: solidarity of landings, control in the air, footwork control, length of held grabs, clear top-sides within 45 degrees or so of a ledge / coping, fluidity and creativity using the apparatus, connecting tricks like landing fakie and staying fakie into the next trick, overall artistic impression, maybe even choice of clothing.

I think it should count for a lot of any performance, especially in competition, maybe even 50%. The reason is that rollerblading is a spectator sport where everything is judged by observation. But I guess rollerblade judging won’t get to the nitpicking and point deductions that are conducted in other sports.

Julien Cudot is not as good as Broskow nor Haffey.
Damn, the 540 true pornstar from Haffey was the best trick i’ve ever seen!

BROSKOW should have WON!!!!!
People still can’t understand how Broskow really good is. It will take time, lots of time that people actually realise this. Broskow is 20 years ahead of this time.

I was there and if I have to remember three things about this contest, it could be :

1- Charlie’s run: great style, great man, great show! Amazing lines for an am! Go Charlie go!

2 – Rob G and his hilarious tricks for the show. This man is just a legend. For the love of skating Rob!!!

3 – And off course, Cudot’s final run. Even though I do not like spinning run, I have to say that Cudot was unbelievable. If you were there, you know what I’m talking about. This guy plays in another league, he just killed the park forever and he really deserved the first place. By the way, Mathias did a super qualif run and his style is so smooth…

Finally, thanks to every skater am and pro for the show! And the organizers that made this contest possible… Montreal is back!!! I only regret that the NIMH team was not there because of the motherfucker custom boarder officer…

Next years WRS judges are found here as i see…
TV judges
judging only over a bit they see.

And while they see the edits they forget to love the sport…
who fucking cares if someone gets 1st or 2nd?
I just hope all the riders had a nice day and enjoyed their riding!

i would have killed to have been there, anyone there to witness this skateing in person was lucky…. Cudot was amazeing, Broskow was amazeing i love rollerbladeing & i dont really care who wins, to much drama to argue who won, looks like everyone thew down & ripped that park…. hats off to everyone who skated that contest! :-)

To be honest, I think Broskow skating has grown a little too technical. A lot of the tricks and his style now are for insiders only. As in, if you haven’t been rollerblading for three years, you probably won’t understand the difficulty or appreciate the control he has.

If you look at his winning performance during the 2007 contest, it’s really different. It’s a lot more passionate, like he can barely control himself. His skating now is almost clinical. I think it’s a step forward in one sense and a step backwards in another.

On another note, illusions spins are going to be the death of this industry. Call me an ignorant old man, but I still can’t pick them out in a video. And you can bet that if I can’t enjoy watching them, no one else potentially interested in the sport will be inspired by them either.

nice eits guys. its amzing how good the skating was, yet so much hate from rollerbladers. everyone has an opinion, but lets get past that. truly, those that were there will have the best comments or arguments on the results. after watching that, i didnt even really care all that much about the results. i enjoyed the great talents that were displayed. speed, technical, and flow. you can really see why they are all pros. i honestly would have hated to be a judge for this one. i can say just from my own personal experience… when someone is at the top, there are many more reaching for that top. its hard to except new younger guys coming in but that is just how it is. i think cudot has amazing talent. one of our future, yet everyone talking crap. fair judging or not, i thought the skating was great. i wish i would have started this sport when i was even half of my age, seeing amazing skating is inspiring.

stop riding broskow’s dick. He’s hella good and has such good style I’ll admit it but he lost to the best skater that day and that’s it.

Also, to the idiot that said that the judges from Montreal wanted a french guy to win over an american…. Broskow won the 2007 classic.
