🔴 Skateboarding Olympic Qualifier - Finals! 

Too many hard flips though. Not usually rooting for Nyjah, but he earned that.

Biggest bs HE got straight robbed should of been biggest score in the event

he literally heel touched, still scored high, but wouldnt be 95+

should've been a 93-94, but didn't matter at the end, since he would've end up second regardless

@@syezar Because Nyjah's heelflip nosegrind was overscored. The judges are dazzled by SW, at some point SW skating will just become normal and there won't be more of this bullshit.

Even if they gave him a 10 he wouldn't have been enough?

Aurelien was about 3.5 point behind in the end, his hardflip lateflip shouldent be over 95 if a sw heel crooks never seen before was 93. So it wouldent have mattered, but it would have been nice to see fair judging.

@@Makabert.Abylon maybe it would have mattered because nyjah would have gotten nervous seeing aurelien in 1st. ehhh, what am i talking, its nyjah, nevermind

Yea it was crazy seeing him only do regular stance tricks and spam hardflips the whole time. Honestly surprised he got 2nd when he only skated one stance the whole time.

Yeah. If Aurelien would have done a sw heel nose grind it would have scored a 8.4. I'm pretty sure..

Won*

I would probably disagree there. He did all the tricks he does in every demo and every contest and the judges know that. Nyjah did some repeats too but the ones he did are a lot more rare to see from Nyjah than ones Aurelien did. These contest skaters really gotta bring variety if they want to get to that next level. If the people can call out majority of the tricks you're going to do then that's not what skateboarding is about. It's all about variety and raising the bar. That's real pure skateboarding.

@@turtleboypurp crazy how nobody understands this!! Im never rooting for nyjah but he definitely deserved this win.

@@throwawayallday especially when a lot of the tricks these tops guys are doing was tricks that Nyjah was doing 3 or 4 yrs ago lol

Yes he gave 100% pure skateboard to crowd and now he should have one.

Yes, I would love to see Joslin in the finals

My thoughts to.

giraud got 2nd ? nyjah won that fair and square no question in my mind. that was one of his best performances i've ever seen. he was on fire tonight. switch, fakie, rotations, by far the best grinds of the night... not even close, he had everything covered. giraud did 3 variations of the same flip trick, granted he's the hardflip GOAT, and his athleticism is significantly impressive, but nyjah was on another level in this one. Even if they give him a 93 for the late flip, huston still had him covered imo

@@zkipa nah not fair, Aurelien did won of the craziest tricks in a „best trick section“ and got scored soooo unfair, that’s the point

@@zkipa you are riding nyjah super hard bruh

yeah but they gave him more than a 90 for his treflip into nothing

Momiji's style...Water!!!...we also got switch! It's on!

100%

Nah fam

Have you seen shorai on the last sls? Aside from the hard flip late flip aurilien, shorai’s tricks destroyed these tricks in technically . Mind boggling really, pls check it out if you haven’t.

@@Uji_Metal yeah Sora is gonna makes waves in SLS I watched the qualifiers but for me this final was vibing on another level it felt like lads had forgotten about all the sponsorship money BS and were skating it out on a bro level if that makes sense...cheers.

2018 Rio de Janeiro SLS is still the best skate final I have ever seen. This one is definitely up there though.

95 agree

I was surprised too see a big difference in score between the 5-0 and nose grind. Tre flips are naturally caught with the front foot for most, and I think one would need to pop it a bit higher for the 5-0 variation. But I can't do either, so what do I know lol

100 decsenzo gets no love...

@@jamesmcd85 It's a combo that you don't see too often, not easy to pull off.

It was pretty sketchy

ainda achei injusto o aurelien ter pegado só 91, ele meteu um hard late flip varando a hubba mano, n tem condiçoes o nyjah ter ganhado pontuaçao maior vei

Robe

Ahahahaha I saw that 😂

Cuz Nyjahs we're only 93. Money talks

And if it would have scored that, he‘d still be second.

@@DavidLuther I don't think so, on his last attempt it said "92.76 for first" that trick was definitely worth more than that.

@@trentheinrich579 Nope

@@DavidLuther why not? I’m confused

Yeah Aurélien is the winner clearly !!!

Yeah, they should show a transparent list with how much points you get for each trick if you do it somewhat clean. If you do it high like Luan you get extra points etc.

Even if they gave oh really in a 10 it wouldn't have been enough to beat nyjah

The practices of the Olympic committee, are also kind of the polar opposite of skateboarding. Skaters don’t make people homeless to put on events

@@kylefenrick9168 huh?

would appreciate a time stamp

@@KC-dg9pu 3:23:10

@@ResidenceRescueLLC thanks.

Nah he was saying "He does this trick all the time" watch closely

Circus trick. It is ugly.

J J

tre flips are caught with either really it's just more stylish to catch with the front. A tre flip nosegrind would be harder. At least that's how it is for me.

@@xxxlawlessxxx1 i mean yea its possible to catch a tre back footed. But its rly dangerous. With the way the board rotates, catching it with your front foot is by far the most consistent way to catch it, and if ur doing it onto a rail or high hubba, you will want the more consistent catch. Imo. thats the thing about skating tho everyone can do things their way.

Too bad it’s only the pros that get coverage they support, as someone that lives there, it is highly illegal to street skate, if your trynna film a part, you got a couple tries max and gotta get to a new spot, Japan does not like street skating, however, the people that go to the parks are awesome and it’s cool to see them support it that way

@@tresfordays9644 Well maybe skateboarding can be taken more seriously and more skateparks be built instead of a stupid football or baseball field every 5 blocks.

@@onetwo234 there are tons of skateparks in japan, it’s just a lot of them are super crowded cause it’s the only place you CAN skate

exatamente meu mano, n tem condiçoes o nyjah ter ganhado isso, vida de americano parece q é facilitada só pode ser

Aurelien is our champion. The Americans bribed the judges, that’s why they won. Corrupted judges

@@RansackVictorKdawg what? Skateboarding judges always have made bad calls and never won’t make bad calls, always blaming it on being American smh

They should have just ended the contest there and given him a trophy

Holy holy holy that's insane!!!!!

fue lo mejor

The judges didn't think so.

Unfortunately we have corrupted judges who took money from the Americans that’s why Aurelien’s score was so low even though it’s easily the best trick in the entire tournament.

I was mad when I saw the score, but I realised they had to weigh in the fact Aurelien already did many hardflip variations between the run and the best trick attempts, and they are forced to penalise repetitiveness. I am sure they scored him with a heavy heart. Nyjah on the other hand is a really smart competitor who knows variety matters as much as trick difficulty, and that's why he won.

Normal hard flip would have scored higher honestly. Way more appealing trick if caught proper than that lateflip out stuff.

@@throwawayallday hahahaahaha vro just keep quiet

and they thought the ghetto bird was just a back 180 lol

So you think they need to remove the repetitiveness factor from the judging? No, thanks. Aurelien did too many hardflip variations in his runs and best tricks, it wouldn't be fair to score the harflip late flip a 95 just because it's insanely hard: judges HAVE to take into account he did hardflips all day long. If Nyjah did cab back lip in his run then cab flip back lip, cab back noseblunt, cab back tail... do you think he would have won? No, his run was insane, then he did cab noseblunt, fakie flip nosegrind, switch heel nosegrind, and if you skate you know those tricks are completely different from each other and also much harder than anything anyone else did in this contest. I honestly quite dislike Nyjah's style and personality, but this win was 100% deserved.

​@@axel.lessio Firstly, I never said Nyjah wasn't suppose to win, I think he was so gnarly here and deserve to win. but STILL a harflip late flip deserve a bit more points, The tre flip nose grind/blunt missed from Aurelien on the opposite shouldn't have 90 or more (can't remember how much exactly) Overcrook flip out from Gustavo derved way more points too, Also I've seen some run in the qualifier very badly judged. Some people did perfect run and got shtty scores when others did tricks and missed tricks and get better scores. They're not objective at all...

el skate tiene sus propias reglas y necesitamos de los inventos de mafia olimpiadas skateboarding has its own rules and we need the olympics mafia inventions

Nope

Which, at the end if the day, would still be 2nd place.

​@@DavidLuther that hardflip bs 180 was underrated too, that would be at least 8.9 or 9

@@angelooneill8818 Done too often in these comps, it just doesn‘t score that high anymore.

You have to take into account that he did nothing but regular stance tricks in his runs and best tricks. Not a single other stance. Then he spammed hardflip variations over the exact same area for best tricks. Variation is important in contests and you can't win doing only regs stance and lots of hardflips. Nyjah was on another level here

@Daniel S still his comments will make more likes than you'll ever get

Moi ce qui me choque c’est que Aurélien soit si souvent sous-noté, il arrive à être régulier même avec des tricks super hasardeux comme le hardflip late flip, moi même je ne suis pas très fan des late flips mais c’est une compétition pas une street part il faut être rationnel et juger la difficulté

Douchenzo is a boring skater imo.

I agreed, that hardflip late flip was amazing, at least he deserved 95,00

The hard flip late flip should have been a 9.6 for sure

nyjah would hv won anyways with the sw heel crook

they did him dirty...

how was it better? he literally did nothing switch or nollie. he was over scored if u ask me

Hardflip lateflip 9.1 is fair? Lol

don’t agree. Ive been skating for +15 years, and I can tell you that fakie flip bs fakie nosegrind is both scary and difficult. Fair score. The hardflip lateflip should have gotten a 9.5 at the very least though.

@@svante1994 each to their own i suppose. Fakie flip 5-0 is for sure a difficult trick. But i’ve been skating for over 20 years and i can tell you that i have done several fakie flip 5-0 on ledges but never done a tre flip nosegrind or a fs nosegrind nollie flip out. For me personally i would score those tricks higher than a fakie flip 5-0

@@skamarfire can you do both tricks? Fakie flip 5-0 and hardflip late flip? Are you sure you you can do the hardflip lateflip easier then your fakie flip 5-0?

@@sk8jules Well, that judges give extra credit for bringing something new too. And 360 flip is done a LOT, and especially Aurelian, Gustavo and Nyjah can basically do it on anything. So I think that might have something to do with it. I don't agree with the low score on the 360 flip 5-0 though. Ryan got robbed on that one. Honestly, I think I would have an easier time with going to nosegrind than 5-0. Also, the best case scenario for me would have been a shared first place between Nyjah and Aurelian. They both brought it, and I simply can't choose between them on this one. That said, Aurelian was a bit more well-rounded being able to go as big as he does. Nyjah's knees can't take impact anymore.

The reason is because he already did so many hard flips.

Lateflip tricks is the next level. Switch tricks is not most spectaculary or difficult,

@@tonypeppoloni6807 okay and how many people in that contest did you see skating big switch and trying switch flips into grinds???

thank you

Why don’t see the girls?

That was the most common score that people was typing in da chat on live stream :) Funny. People wanted more but got less. Dissapointing :(

Seen it a million times, so it‘s not worth much any more. Aurelien did some stuff during practise that could have easily won him the comp, but he decided not to use them, e.g. Hardflip Late Flip front Board.

@@DavidLuther show me in which contest your seeing ghetto birds that high and far

It wouldn't have made a difference, it still would have been his lowest best trick score..

@@better-everyday4195 There‘s a contest in Munich this weekend. Be my guest and watch the kids do that.
