Wow.
It is hard to believe these guys are throwing down like that on the first day of the season. All the riding in finals was great. I personally like the new format. it made it very interesting to watch. Good job on keeping the sport fresh.
New format for pro men semis and finals.
*2 runs each- you take your best run
*1 fall and you are done for that run- a couple of guys fell on the flat bar in semis and never threw a trick on their first run. Harley fell on his first trick, 2nd run. His first run was good enough though to win.
*At owc the set up was three tricks , fun box, 2 maybe 3 before turn around. On the way back, 2 tricks, fun box, one more trick after fun box and back to the dock.
* Boat never stops to pick up rider so after fall it goes right back to the dock to pick up next rider.
* Rider will do his first run, go back to the dock and do 2nd run after all riders in heat have finished their first run.
* All KOW and PWT will be similar format.
People at first were a little leery of it. Especially during semis when many riders fell early and ended run. But as day progressed it got better and it definitely does not stop the guys from throwing down hammers. See for yourself when videos come out.
