Anthony is a friend of mine, i thought he deserved a better score also. However the judges combine the trick you do over the long straight jump with the trick that you do on the large quarterpipe to get your total score. The event is called Big Air so what they really want to see is a solid straight jump combined with an amazing quarter pipe trick. Im sure he recieved a near perfect score on the straight jump, but since he hit the vert wall with just a regular air (no trick variation) then points were taken away from his total score. Even if he had done a tabletop or something relatively easy, im sure he would have taken gold. But after he pulled that double front he probably didnt even care about the contest anymore. He was just so stoked to have pulled his dream trick. Mad props Anthony! You are the man! oh and to Daddio he's sponsored by Levi's, Monster, Hoffman Bikes, Duffs, Profile and Maxxis tires i think…

I was so pissed off when after what seemed like forever the judges only gave Napolitan an 87.6 point score! After what will now be the trick that sets the mark for all competition, these judges didn't even reward the effort. The winning trick was no where near as cool or even technical as a double front flip. The crowd knew it, I knew it, and Napolitan knew it. The judges screwed him. I'd have to guess it had a lot to do with who was sponsored by who and who wasn't. Pure bullshit. Good job Tony. That was a damn cool trick.

Im not sure how the scoring works and if it was averages of 2 tricks but im pretty sure it is your highest score is what counts, and for pullling something off thats never been done before he still only got 3rd place? what would a first place trick have had to consist of , you would think being the first person to land a trick would atleast be enough for second place . weak
