Re: XDL East coast eliminator.....
They did the hot seat at Vegas XDL. The only problem with the hot seat in my eyes is it is hard on the judges because we triple check all of the riders scores, tally up points and so on. Having a hot seat might rush the judges because you gotta have it done before the next rider is out. Virginia XDL we where still judging the previous rider as the next rider was having his interviews to make sure everything was correct.
1. rider finish's run
2. next rider comes out to warm up ( while judges finish up the previous score)
3. score is anounced
4. then warmed up rider is introduced & begins his or her run ...

Re: XDL East coast eliminator.....
well thats the thing peeps should here the score right after their run I mean look @ ice skating ( gay i know) their should be a judge for each of the category's .. when the run is over the judges show the score for their area & then another judge or the MC adds um up ..... keeps it real legit !! no one could argue the decisions .... & we know how well someone score's in each area . this will promote better runs .... peeps will easily know right away where they succeeded & failed

but there is no point in doing it for qualifying and there is really no point in doing it when we dont have the hot seat..
yes.. we do have a hot seat..which was custom made by racing 905.. but it resides on the west coast, anyone have pics?

Re: XDL East coast eliminator.....
oh no...
seriously...if i had picked my faves the rankings would have been (in some random order) twite, borne, lanier, niles...hell, i probably would have thrown ***** in just for ***** and giggles if it were that easy...
like everyone else has already said...if you did not qualify it is because something was lacking in your run...luke you lost points because you did not engage the crowd during your run, as did others...while teach was looking or interacting with the crowd for his entire run...
it was tough judging this event because everyone's riding was on point...the devil is in the details though. aside from a few people dropping bikes we really had to pay attention to little things like someone coming in on a 180 stoppie to clutch up and missing the clutch up, then hitting it a split second later...burnouts slipping, riders almost high siding and saving it...sketchy-ness...the smallest things made the biggest difference because everyone rode at an amazing level...
with that being said...a few things i learned this weekend (haven't done this in awhile)
1. the word of the weekend was bobble.
2. thomas can almost go a whole day being nice to people...almost...
3. rockstar ronnie has got to be one of the nicest, most stoked guys i have ever met...with the best loading ramp ever...ever...
4. tice's facial hair is actually a miniature alien species which can change whenever he commands it...i swear to god i saw the handle bar doing the wave out of his helmet during his run...
5. joe...YOUR TIME WAS UP!!!! no more parade laps there buddy...
6. sbf mikey will throw you under the bus quicker than anyone else i have ever met...and do it repeatedly..."dude, when the results come out, if anyone bitches, im telling them it is your fault..."
7. bill d...switch back wheelie right into switchback stoppie...whoa...
8. shane c absolutely killed it sat. and was well on his way sun. but had a few issues with his run...this guy is gonna go far...
9. bubash...stand still burn out going from 1st to 4th gear...whoa...
10. fish made me quit wanting to make videos this weekend...unreal ideas and amazing guy to hang out with...
11. mike nicely...this guy is like a monkey on speed when he is working. he's here, there, now there, one camera, two, now there...now one camera...hanging upside down from the judging stand... ...he got the money shots of the weekend and the XDL vid is gonna be nasty...the guy is quality for sure...
thats all for now...i know ill have more later...
