    Did you watch the vids? It's nothing like the love park/city hall xgames contest.

    being that some people can't even be bothered to watch a single one I'm not surprised nobody's noticed this but... Louie's part is titled "A Day In Barcelona" and it seems to be an honest title (he's wearing the same clothes the whole time, etc)....admittedly it's nowhere near the level of bangers per minute in the other parts, but the fact that it was filmed in a single day definitely balances that out in my mind...Louie Barletta is one of my absolute favorite skaters to watch, because even clips of him bailing or just chilling are fun to see because he's always having fun...this part is an argument in favor of skating as a pursuit of self expression and good times, which is obviously a very different mindset from most if not all the other parts, which are about the singular pursuit of tricks, usually as difficult as possible and attempted with a mind set towards self-overcoming, mastery of one's body and environment, and general gnarliness...Louie's not arguing against this mindset, by the way, just proposing an alternative, within the context of the competition that is....of course most skaters are into creativity and good times too, but Louie's saying "we can bring those things into competitions too, if we wanted"

    Song
    Westgate
    Brezinski
    Decenzo


    Zered vs Decenzo is actually a really tough call for me.
    Dylan has a ton of style but his trick selection just does not stand up to Daewon.
    Westgate could win it all if I was the only person voting. I'm just stunned by his skating. Zoo York, then Stay Gold, then New Shoe (mind blowing) and now another full fucking minute of madness. Westgate for skater of the year 2012.
    Decenzo is crazy good, not as much style as Zered, but just a tiny bit better.

    No idea about the next round.

    Westgate VS Marks = FINALS

    Voted for Westgate, but only because his part was better than Marks.
    Still think people got it wrong.
