Suicu got the Mickey Papa treatment from the judges.

[@kjdacod]

lol I haven't observed that well. I think Miles Silvas got underscored tho, like a 7.1 for that kinda run?? others in later heats had some bails and got scored like this. It's crazy that there are like almost every time some mistake made of the judges... maybe it's the hype or something.... but I started watching and thought the first heat will get robbed anyway, it's like every time! This time they judged micky like he deserved, but exactly this time he couldn't do it... XD...

[@jameslynch9442]

Fakie 5-0 balanced down a 12 stair Hubba..... Gets in the 7's cmmoooooonnnn

[@murillobonacuore7743]

Glad at least the commentators talked about the theft judges were making.. Definately they judge based on how they like the skater

[@bigblackballs8893]

7.2 for his second trick is daylight robbery

[@bigblackballs8893]

DECENZO GOT 7.8 FOR A LOUSY FRONTSIDE FLIP BUT MARK'S SECOND TRICK ONLY 7.2

[@nickpappas9527]

I hate to be that guy but SLS has to stop inviting Manny and Torey. Give those spots to younger skaters who are going to perform better.

[@KillumiGnarly]

Manny had a Off Day and Torey is Recovering with a metal foot. They need to bring in antwuan dixon for the culture

[@abevigoda819]

It’d be nice if we could get the judges to explain those Suciu scores

[@t.ist666]

I'd be keen to hear the justification too. They should be held accountable.

[@scheck006]

Felt really bad for Suciu getting just 7.3 for the fakie nosegrind 180 out on the steep hubba and then him having to watch Milou get a freaking 9 for a kick flip front tail

[@jacobA551]

He’s really tech asf and clean with skating , 10 toes down real street skater SOTY ⚒

[@DissorsD]

They need to change those judges asap

[@kjdacod]

well I think they did sometimes, but I think it would be cool to see how other judges would do it... somehow it's kinda psychologically, for example the first heat always get underscored, even the second, it depends. But that's fact. G just remembered that fs crooked shovit from Jamie gettin a 9... haha that's a joke if you ask me, I actually even think it's because he struggled and it looked, like it was very difficult. lol. I really don't think that Carlos had a nine there for that "sw fs blunt" only.

[@JakebRyanClark]

Theyre all pro skaters man who should they be replaced with?

[@tiago5259]

exactly. there should be also an japanese, brasilian and european judge - instead of 5 us homeboys

@Kel El why was mark sucius tricks scored lower than decenzos rinse and repeat frontside flip that we see every damn contest

[@408lurks]

Absolutely correct

[@TheFineGreat]

Suciu got robbed, feels really intentional to me

[@Squaremuffin]

29:35 People misspeak all the time of course but, calling Felipe Mota the 'youngest skater in SLS this year PERIOD' is quite blatantly outcasting the womens league. I LOVE SLS and I love the commentary but yeah ... Slips of the tongue tend to give away that person's default perspective on things - in this case, it's really about the mens category. Anyway thought I'd point it out.

[@unspebn]

Good to see in typical SLS fashion the judging being wildly inconsistent from early heats compared to later. 100% bet Kelly Hart is unnecessarily there again

[@lostboyfeelsnothing4839]

Some of the worst judging in sports overall lol

[@wadeseba6637]

at this point it wouldn't be an sls competition without a skater or two getting robbed by the judges.

[@diegogaetasound]

Can we stop inviting torey pudwill to these? Watching him in this context blow it again and again is such a chore

[@juliox2002]

Why is he just not trying whatsoever ?

[@thelostbutcher]

Suciu got shadow banned

[@Makabert.Abylon]

Only About halfway in, but damn judges are screwing americans this time, for once. Would have prefered no one got robbed tho.. Suciu’s first try perfectly balanced and popped out fakie 5-0 down a skinny 12 stair hubba - 7.8 Vincent’s flip fs lip used in every comp 8.8 Amazing trick! But atleast in my opinion it shouldn’t be a full point between those 2 tricks.

[@jasondashney]

The judges do not discourage riders from doing the same tricks over and over and over. It's so annoying. The judging at these events is so bad. Name another sport where the announcers are so consistently disagreeing with the officials.

[@RodrigoPlayzRodrigoPlayz]

fakie ollie to fakie 5-0 revert under 8? lol

[@EderCheder9000]

Jordan touched the floor on the bump to flat 360 flip and clipped the last stair on the laser flip down the 12. Judges must have missed it cuz they scored him perfectly. I mean they gave hofler a pretty high score for putting both hands on the floor too. Wth is going on here?!

[@kus88]

because they severely underscored his front 360 back lip on the gap to rail and knew it

[@tylerriggs95]

Clipping the stair doesn’t matter, never has

[@Gogeta069]

[@dbsuper2928]

That’s what I’m saying.. they televised the womens on ESPN 2 why not the guys too

[@mclarensaleenf7]

Seemed like Felipe Gustavo was underscored more than anyone imo. That kickflip crook on the bump to high ledge should've been near 9.0 and most of his 7s should've been in the 8s imo. Like a perfect switch flip down a big 12 should easily be in the 8s but he got a 7.8. Nobody else did a switch flip down it because it's pretty risky. Really should've been 1.5-2 points higher overall from what I saw.

[@jasondashney]

He gets consistently robbed at every contest, even that Red Bull indoor Ryan Sheckler one. I'd like to see anybody else try his runs. He's so good.

[@volkonrubenstien5633]

@LanlordHypeMan 100% agree @ struggling with strategy. I find he's often blinded by his own ambition - he likes to go for broke. Problem with going for broke is that you often get there. Finals are starting now...I've got my fingers crossed that he keeps it together! 🤞

Ok either the judges don't skate, or they've got some AI algorithm involved in the scoring coz Suciu's fakie 5.0 and fakie ng revert down the 12 stair hubba got such weak scores.

Sora has a very narrow range of tricks he does. And he almost never flips his board. I think he gets drastically over scored. Felipe Gustavo consistently does hard flip tricks into slides and the judges don't care. Sora mostly just does awkward spin to grind tricks. They are really hard but it's all variations of the same theme.
