Am I missing something I have to rant on this

I was reading the article of the SETx mid summer classic and was reading the winning run for the outlaw division. Very sik tricks (if landed) and not trying to knock anyone. But since when do you fall 3 times in one run and still win the contes??? Eric Deegan fell 3 times from what the article says.. If your reading this Eric Im not knocking you just wondering when fair is gunna be fair. If you look at Mitchs run (3rd place) he has just as legit tricks and only fell once. Am I missing something here? I understand Eric tried a 7 off the D-up, but from the article HE DIDNT LAND IT. If trying tricks wins you a contest whether you land them or not I should be pro. RANT
