*BOOM!* I'm soooooo stoked to see Joslin finally connect! 🤩 He's got so much game, so much grit, and so many big tricks...but he often gets burned in comps by his own need to go huge at all times. I really hope the skate gods are with him in the finals. He's way overdue to crush this thing! The fact that he's got a shoelace holding his pants up goes to show where his focus is...dude's got ZERO time to waste on anything but skating.

[@joe.nail1]

Um a shoelace belt is an example of fashion over function

[@jonathanstafford750]

Very true indeed, I’m always rooting for Chris he takes it all in his stride even when it’s going wrong, and doesn’t turn to playing safe... Be sick to see him at his best

[@kjdacod]

yeah, would be so cool if he gonna made it, he ain't got many chances left... I guess... But I like his attitude saying that get into the finals is already some kind of a win for him!

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

@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! 🤞

[@SKRATCH1988]

Joselin and Descenzo should definitely be top 5 more often. Their street parts are SO much better than most of the competition.

[@Jburnage]

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

[@EmillionWayz]

"Some ledgelords down there" 😂 Love that Sean Malto is co-commentating this year

[@diavalitemusic]

[@trentheinrich579]

Please keep Malto on the mic for every SLS, he is perfect for this.

[@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.

Sean Malto needs to be doing commentary for EVERY SLS. He is very good at it!

[@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 ⚒

[@RecoveredRidleyTruther]

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

[@minxm3378]

[@FitemeUrlnotIrl]

The early heat guys get screwed every single time

[@beachboy7141]

🤭

[@lostboyfeelsnothing4839]

Some of the worst judging in sports overall lol

[@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

[@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 ?

[@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

[@dongiv196]

Sora is here for 9's...nothing less. That was a 9 line from Suciu. 1:53:05 I can still hear that landing.

[@matthewdrury6443]

I was there today, and he was really battling that final switch backside flip. He took it out of the first line because it was giving him so much trouble in practice. When he rode away from it in his line the whole place went nuts.

[@dongiv196]

@@matthewdrury6443 Sounds amazing...that whole line was carved out by the Street Gods. Bless up.

[@kjdacod]

@Kel El He had much diversity like also some creativity and tech skating, wasn't that perfect, but I think it's hilarious to get ducked by a whole point cause of some toe drags or one missing trick....

[@peazeralus]

@Kel El are you going to comment everytime someone gives love to Suciu? Did he cheat on your mom or something? Tell me you're under 15 or your IQ and age are within 10 points of each other without telling me

[@matthewcmeagher]

I’m so happy the announcers put emphasis of suicu getting screwed.

[@followsuittrading]

Man, that cab tail big spin Sora did on the hubba previously is probably the most ridiculous trick I've seen in my 21 years of skateboarding. Mark my words, he is going to become one of the best skateboarders of the new generation, if not ever.

[@cleverpork55]

I don't know when it happened, but Vincent Milou has quietly / subconsciously become one of my favorite skaters. It's strange because there's no distinct moment for that revelation. I just noticed it today watching. He keeps getting better and better.

[@Eliyakimonthemic]

SLS I love these more diverse parks! It really gives room for creativity for the skaters. Lets see more weird obstacles and angles!!

[@thelostbutcher]

Suciu got shadow banned

[@NickM92]

Yuto and Sora are changing the game of skateboarding.

[@t.ist666]

@Kel El You think Sora's 180 switch back nosegrind down the Hubba is boring??

[@jasondashney]

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.

[@ImJewburt]

Legend has it Yuto makes 84% of the tricks he lands.

[@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

[@kjdacod]

a bs noseblunt at that monster rail should def scored higher. somehow the judges always messing it up in the first heat. also miles sw bs smith and sw bs tail supposed to be high 8's...

[@flip73120]

Suicu deserved way better imo he killed it

[@patabambam1102]

has vincent milou ever spun backside?

[@bigblackballs8893]

No.

[@elliottwoods5636]

he's pretty much zoolander

[@tylerriggs95]

Sw back lip

[@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.

[@kunuelo5576]

Soria with the alley-oup fs 180 to fakie 5-0 was soooo butter & balanced to perfection 🤯

[@wadeseba6637]

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

But atleast in my opinion it shouldn’t be a full point between those 2 tricks.
