Sergeant Politeness Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 So from reading this thread being a pessemistic arse over freestyle leads to it being good and a proper champ being crowned? HOORAY FOR REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkelly Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I feel like Neil should've won. His run felt a lot more complete than Lee's did and the reverse backflip is impressive. But I can see why Lee won, that front flip was pretty cool and it's insane how he was able to land it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching both runs Lee had more momentum in his, Neil's was good but I think his run wasn't as high energy until the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKM Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I watched every single run, you may not agree with me and that's perfectly fine but I strongly believe Lee deserved the win. Lee and Neil both had a bit of a slow point in their runs to ensure they fulfilled the clock but I would suggest if you want to compare the two runs along with Avenger you ignore the front flip, the reverse backflip, and the massive air and compare them as standard runs. They all had something to send them over the top but outside of that I feel as though Lee had the best overall run and was more on the outer edge of a controlled run where as Neil's was the complete opposite of that up until the very end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swegliner849 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 does anyone know which truck had the gdtl body on? (i doubt that its gd32 because it was competing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornetguy97 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Last night was probably the greatest track of the dirt pad era. Competing with world finals 9 of the crush car era. What a great finals. We gave bryce crap for being in but he did a fantastic job. Voting worked. Right person won. Neil did excellent, but Lee completed the greatest move ever. The bus wasnt even touched and can prolly be reused 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can actually see something like super cross jumps coming into MJ, like those really big hills and insane buildup and those kind of things.

WF18 was the best one so far, 2 amazing encores, fair judging, ryan finally wins, frontflip and other amazing moves, amazing track, awesome truck reveals. The best track of the dirt era and tbh ill never forget this wf. I didnt go to vegas but i was there in the facebook streams, i had fun and i cant wait for next year. Also can someone tell me which digger chassis was the one that adam drove for the digger encore? the one with the legend body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRetroStyle Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 As someone who has watched a lot of every World Finals thanks to YouTube, I can confirm that this was, in my opinion, the 2nd best World Finals of all time. It falls short of 2008, but these are why I think it's the second best. Ryan Anderson finally won. His victory in Racing recorded some of the loudest cheers of the decade. Judging was fair in Freestyle. We all gave it crap at first, but it actually made for, as Scott Douglass says, "a no doubt champion". The right person won Freestyle. Neil Elliott may have landed the first ever reverse backflip, but Lee O'Donnell had more momentum, as well as a frontflip. How could he NOT have won? Almost every single newcomer did very well in Freestyle, which cannot be said about 2010. Rosalee Ramer placed the highest out of all of them, finishing 7th out of the field of 32. This track could've started a whole new era... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also feel that this was the start of a whole new era, to me the future of the sport looks bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Don't get all excited yes they might start a new era which means new tracks maybe but then when they have the new tracks that means we're going to see he same track over and over and we'll be back to square 1 after the 1st year but if they manage to change the style then I'll be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
