I find it interesting Pat Moore was riding a Volcom board, figured the B would have grabbed him asap.

Brisse and Bode...damn. That doesn't seem physically possible. Frank April's part was nuts too. So smooth.
It's so hard to decide between Brisse and Bode. The others I was able to pick which one I liked, but I want to vote for both Brisse and Bode ![]() |

Why was showing excitement for the competition spam? That was literally what I thought when I saw the thread and then went to watch the videos. Moderators on this site baffle me left and right.
None the less this year is much tougher to decide. I can't decide on the Brisse or Moore battles. Four great parts. Were some of brisse's part from last year though? I feel like I remember that dumpster from something. |

I voted for Bode over Brisse,
I can't really explain why, but I think it's because my jaw dropped a lot more during Bode's video. |

I find it weird that I only know the name Jeremy Jones even though I love snowboarding so much. I guess I only like the sport and not it's player? So Imma do some research and decide afterwards.

Because it was a three word response that didn't add anything to the thread, or..well anything at all. Taken from the point system terms and conditions..."Posting: You can earn up to five points a day for posting in our community forums. We encourage you to be active and meet our staff, expert members and other community members. Submitting one-word posts, negative or malicious posts and/or reviving old threads just to earn your daily points, can result in a loss of those points." That post, while it was three whole words..is what they are talking about.
I don't know anything about recycling any footy, but Brisse shtooking killed it! Just...wow. Went so hard and big. Merrill slayed it too, but I think Brisse wins this one. Close though IMO. |

Ethan Deiss has this cute nerd swag, but his riding isn't bad at all, although I voted for the other guy because I'm a sucker for flips.

Well, that other guy had a better part too. I friggin love Eero. His style is so smooth too. Everything he does just looks fluid. Like it was supposed to happen. While he comes off brain dead and douchey in most interviews I have seen, kid can RIDE. Really diggin this edit, can't wait to see what is pulled out for round two! Oh, and here is a hyper link to the voting. http://xgames.espn.go.com/events/2013/aspen/real/round/1/ OP, you should edit your first post and change the link to a hyper link. Much easier to navigate that way. ![]() |

Frank April's part was pretty amazing. I was impressed with the back flip on the rail. The dude is also a beast. I also enjoy the beard. Here's a link to another one of his film parts.

thanks batman for pointing out my three word post and the rule about one word posts...... ... . there are 5 or 6 threads dedicated to free points in this board talk forum I think if I'm here to just get points I could use one of those.
anyway that inverted hand slide that the guy against moore does is probably of the coolest tricks I have seen. but I really like pat so I am having a real tough time with that match up. stinks I can't quote but batman. maybe I saw it on something else but I swear I've seen that somewhere if only my brain could pull where I saw it. |

In truth its probably just one of the mods being a bit dickish :)
Public Service Announcement: Never fret vour spam flags. 1-7 its probably us being jerks. You still have 23 chances though after that to stop doing whatever it is thats getting you flagged (if its actually something youre doing). If you do end up ever with more than 20 flags, send any mod a mail and ask them what youre doing wrong and theyll happy explain why youve got so many flags. But the long and short of it is that youre spamming the forums for points or not contributing to the forums and are being called on it. ETA: to quote people... Look for the control panel menu above. (to the right of the community tab). Look for forum settings. Enable WYSIWYG editor. Voila! now you can quote. :)

Ended up voting for Deiss, April, Paradis and Merrill
Paradis and April i thought were the easy decisions the others were pretty tight. |

I could care less about the points man, just letting you know why I thought you got the spam hammer.
I feel you. That match up is the one that took me the longest to decide on. All the others after one watch each it was a reasonably easy choice, but in the end my vote went to Paradis.
That sucks. You seem to have all sorts of forum issues with that thing! ![]() |

yeah I have no idea why it is so fussy. I hope comps running full windows 8 aren't this way.
I am gonna watch the match up again now see if one stands out a little more. my last impression was leaning toward paradis. |

Sweet, thanks dude! Oh, and shit, Brisse and Merrill are neck and neck. Both sitting on 50% of the vote! Glad to see eero still on top. Didn't expect to see April with such a commanding lead over jones though... |

so I decided to give paradis my vote in that match up.
I don't know if it was the parts or what but the eero match up just wasn't as exciting as the other ones for me. |

Real Snow is a great addition to the X Games. Its nice to see the creativity of these guys on the street. All of their edits are unreal and in such a small amount of time too.

my vote is on Brisser ,he kills it on rails and wall ride although matching him against Scott stevens just for the 1st entry round being the two from Capita makes voting difficult both outstanding urban riders. I was hoping to see Halldor & Nic Sauve in this season WX13.

I love this competition, was too bad about Brisse last year getting hurt. He has consistently went bigger than everyone else in past years though, it's no wonder he gets busted up sometimes.
I voted for Deisse, Brisse, April and Paradis. What a sick inverted hand slide on that horizontal metal post. Don't think I've ever seen anything quite like that.

i gotta go with Brisse on that one. He just looks so confident and smooth on the street. The jumps and jibs he hit were just so creative too.

^yeah they both were in it. I remember Nic Sauve had a bad bail on the first feature that he hit while filming so he didn't even end up with a film.

How is Brisse losing to Ettala?, that rodeo off the truck bin was the deciding factor for me and least to say Paradise isn't doing any much better with 44% in this 2nd round. wtf

Because there are some of us that think Ettala is better? Dunno, Ettala is one of my favorite riders, and have been for years, but I legitimately think Eero had a better part. Just more of a style that I like. Don't get me wrong, I like that brash-ish balls to the wall that Brisse had, but Eero won IMO. |
