felt like I watched an hour of people fall off trying tricks that were too hard for them
That's the beauty of a best trick contest, and why they get multiple attempts- you gamble by doing something you might not be able to land. The 50-50 to kickflip out attempts were incredible, and a real shame they weren't landed. A little bit like a solo attack in biek races, probably won't win but maybe you will

Possible unpopular opinion by having watched the Street skateboarding earlier, I'm still not convinced it's a great spectator sport, felt like I watched an hour of people fall off trying tricks that were too hard for them vs other events where people do skills that they know they can more consistently pull off at thier limit, so feels less like luck when you see them land them
