I’ve seen better judging too but I guess that’s just like, my opinion man.
Andri Ragettli breezed through with a safety run as a result.
BMile also went down as the first rider in his head to head gifting his heat to Dennis Ranalter.
Dope lines from him and a relatively clear win.
Cody LePlante took the closest win of the round, edging out Johan Rohrmoser with a jibby run.
Turned out he took it too easy and fell just short of Tom’s score.
In the final heat, Jesper faced a crash score and breezed through.
Quarter Finals
Dennis Ranalter crashed on hit one to give Andri Ragettli a second pass.
He was met by Laurent DeMartin with his enormous flat 810 and nuts style.
The judges took some time but it had to be Laurent, hyped for my boy!
Lukas Mullauer has his run on lock and fairly easily dispatched Cody LaPlante who had a couple of bobbles.
He styled out the rest but it opened the door for Andri who actually had his own mistakes.
Somehow the judges still scored him super high despite 2 big errors.
For sure he won but what an odd decision, the first of several.
Definitely questionable, redefining calling it loose.
I’d say it was the trick of the night when stomped though.
Lukas also had some pretty questionable makes in the run but it was enough for third.
Andri Ragettli however couldn’t put it down clean in his first real run under pressure.
Missed a couple of grabs and got caught up on the front swap pretzel 2.
He also won the Best Trick for his dub, which also reflects on the judging somewhat.
Nonetheless it was a dope event, see you again in two years Austria.
