2023 SLS Sydney: Men's Knockout Round

[@thembekilethembekile5839]

Now street league hear me out, if every stop was this format. Where there is a select series each stop and a knock round and a final round I would watch each show from beginning to end. This is a really cool format that gives under dogs a chance to get through out the year instead of having under-dogs only get one chance at the beginning of the season. This is far more interesting and engaging

[@scruffypoos]

So right bro, this format is so much better

[@zkipa]

dude i fucking love sean malto as a caster here. absolutely amazing. he keeps getting better and better. he had me dying repeatedly with his comments. what a great event. skateboarding has come so far i absolutely love to see it

[@tim27420]

Malto is perfect behind the mic. Has the voice for it too!

[@MyVinylRips]

Agree, he's perfect in that role.

[@zkipa]

absolutely crushing it, his commentary is so good. noticing he's getting more confident with cracking jokes. had me rolling a couple times in this one

[@leastselfawarepotassium]

Could not agree more.

[@planb3694]

F yeah bro

[@jamesong1091]

I want Decenzo to win one of these days. He’s so consistent and always does well, humble, not hype. He’s a classic 2000s “skater.”

[@Str8outta604]

Vancouver OG

[@michaelmaxwell8261]

I want him to win so bad too; he deserves it and all the glory. I felt like Sean Malto was acting kind of bitter and sour towards him in his commentating.

[@kaylum777]

Literally Decenzo has been on point a lot, I really want him to get that first place victory. At a Super Crown at most

[@thallrudedjentstorm1756]

Daiki is killing it! Netsuke too. Japenese skaters are taking over.

[@williambo5989]

they ok jamie g is beast if he entered

[@intellectic9155]

They're technical but for me the Americans are better. I don't skate but I appreciate the more athletic part of high level skating. Some of the Americans literally fly. Dashawn Jordan and Chris Joslin come to mind.

[@MyVinylRips]

Yeah, they're bringing it to another level. Such technicality AND consistency

[@williambo5989]

i rather have a car built in Japan than one made elswhere

[@Chababoum]

@@intellectic9155 If you don't skate, it's hard to really appreciate technical skating but usually, it's considered harder and hence scored higher than big gaps and flyouts.

[@Jan123.]

Big respect to Torey! He’s a legend. But it’s time to give his default SLS spot to some young skateboarder.

[@komoonkh]

There is no default spot. There is a point system that gives you your position. If he was that bad, he wouldnt be there.

[@Wooooosaaaaaa]

@@komoonkh​​⁠​​⁠sorry brother but not true. Sean Malto talks about it on the nine club. They most definitely DO invite older skaters to come out and will give them spots in a group if they are willing to compete that week.

[@VanaheimrUllr]

@@Wooooosaaaaaa Its kinda nice to see the legends compete too, in comparison the young ones and just to see their presence. But I do agree that when get so low points, that they suppress younger skaters, they should probably give space.

[@babazoid123]

Dude Giovanni Vianna doing pretty much a no push line is incredible

[@Dzokhar]

Hey SLS, can you put the skater's stance in the pop-up menu during their run/trick attempts?

[@christophersteele7718]

Daiki did a lot of very high level tricks. It seems like the judges were a little more giving in the heats after his.

[@xavierrivera9130]

Thought so too

[@Ghosty-Ghost101]

This was worth 3 and a half hours of my life, mad contest and some mental skateboarders fr fr 🎉❤

[@MyVinylRips]

Yes, perfect timing, just got the popcorn ready!

[@eccreativ]

I think what Sean Malto missed was that it was a bigger flip front board not a big flip front board at 32:30 . Making the 8.7 score more appropriate.

[@michaelmaxwell8261]

I am glad someone else caught that. He definitely got that wrong.

[@RecoveredRidleyTruther]

Take a drink every time Malto says “nerves”

Nyjah out here doing switch flip tricks into grinds and still barely cracking the 9s. I assume he needs to start doing regular heel flips into rails to impress these judges.

[@n64victor30]

Nice job Mocco! Skating for 2 days straight to just qualify for this final is nuts.

Nyjah's birthday is on 30 November 👍👍 Such an unbelievable person. Well done!! 🏆

[@Takaroku.]

Hey, my man. No one cares... jk. It's crazy how he's still able to compete at this level even after surgery.

[@Juliano_DJOL]

I feel like they should be able to use 2 of the run scores!!! Its a small change but would make a BIG difference IMO! For one it would take out the no motivation 2nd runs after somebody gets a 9 on their first run! It also rewards good skating and I think everyone will agree that a 9 in the Lines Section is much harder to get than in the Single Trick Section! THE BEST thing this would do is that if you had like a 9 and a 7.5 in the lines then it would really free you up to try some crazy (hard) tricks in the Single Tricks Section!!! I wish there was some way to be able to do this but also be able to keep it the way it is now where u also don't have to use a Line Score!!! I just remember back in the day in the OG SLS Contest the Format was so close to being perfect and you cld 100% tell someone put alot of thought into the Format and that it was made like that to enable the best skating and contest possible, as opposed to the new changes which I feel like where made to fit the event in a time frame or fit the TV Schedule if that makes sense!

[@gratefuldrifter6588]

my boy foy does it for fun, thats what we skate for homies.RESPECT TO ALL.....

[@komoonkh]

Dominick is Nyjahs friend yet he skates completely opposite way😂 I love it. Nyjah times his runs and knows exactly what and when, but Domo just freestyles it like Ishod would do

[@dennisbla779]

Nobody mentioned, that this exact Same contest was posted over a month ago... 😂

[@depaulmadigan1993]

I know right!!!! Its hella weird!!!!! Noone remembers Felipe winning his first sls or did we imagine it lol

[@Ghosty-Ghost101]

Jordan skated so well considering he broke his board in the first run then had to use someone else's board for the rest

[@CashMenace510]

Jordan has pop in his skating his hops are a thing of beauty he definitely worked on getting the board to his chest and still stick the landings

[@TheLegends86]

If your aloud to take four best trick scores u should be able to use two line scores if need be

[@eljay2008]

Im starting to get pretty annoyed at how they do the knockout rounds. I get that advancing the top score from each round makes for good competition/entertainment, essentially making each heat its own mini contest, but it makes for unfair and lacklustre finals. I’d rather see a finals with the top overall scores as opposed to the top scores from each heat. Like you could have the second or third highest score of the whole day and still not make finals … the finals should be an accurate representation of the best competitors.

[@illegal_Leonard]

I’d like to see the score for a BS Pop-Shove to FS Feeble on a large rail on this course. 🤔 Any specific tricks y’all wanna see???

[@TheHodgePod20]

[@blackmoondragoon4862]

Why competitioners still seem to have no replacement board? I mean is it so uncommon that boards break or are they so heavy or so expensive for these skaters? Ok I am exaggerating! Still I wondering why after a boardbreak they often have no replacement in the bag? It is a question I ask myself. Im glad it that Deshawn Jordan was more than able to ride with someone Shanes board and that he was so friendly and fair to his board.

[@justinmusicandskateboardin9282]

The trucks mainly. Having the trucks broken in just right in terms of both how turning and scooping tre-flips feel, and how the grooves have been broken in on the actual grinding part of the axle. I'm sure basically all of them do have an entire other complete setup ready to go, they just don't put it together because they would rather just put a new deck onto their old trucks if their deck does break, which is overwhelmingly more likely to happen than having a truck or wheel issue

[@blackmoondragoon4862]

@@justinmusicandskateboardin9282 Justin Thank you for answrering. I think I understand what you say about the grinding part, the axle itself this makes a lot of sense to me,. But I don´t mean the moment a truck breaks, this happens happens less often than a deck. I mean what you describe as "they would rather just put a new deck onto..." I can give an example: In this episode Dashawn Jordans board broke. The Nose was off. But instead of putting a new own deck on his trucks he seems to have used Shane O`neills Skateboard. Or maybe he put his own trucks on Shanes deck. Eitherway he didn´t use or had an own replacement deck. This is what I mean and here lies my original question. I am sorry if I explained my self not so well. And its not only Dashawns case of boardbrake, actually everytime I can remember a board breaking SLS its like a search and ask adventure, "please who can lend me a board quickly". Instead of pulling a new deck out of the bag and screwing the old trucks off and on. I Do understand that Skateboarding is not Nascar or Formular 1 where you have a complete team of "tire changers" but to have a replacement deck with you, to change the trucks, If youre used to it, shouldnt take many minutes.

Malto should not announce or judge. When he is referring to a friend like manny, he bigs up tricks, but for others, he will play down their tricks. Making them out to be questionable or less than what they are

SLS is a big league but still lack of information. or is there any information about the judges everytime SLS is on air for competition?????? i'm confused. on what circumtances the judges is giving the score? how many judges are they? even sean malto being a spectator, sometimes he doesn't agreed with the scores that judges gives to the player. sean malto is also a pro skateboard. could someone explain this? ...
