How on earth did that Hardlip late flip OVER THE HUBBA not score AT LEAAST a 95 bro what?!?!

I’ve seen plenty of SLS tricks get scores I didn’t agree with. But the scoring for this event was total garbage. They really need to reevaluate who judges these contests and/or how tricks are scored.

don't worry Aurelian, the judges are just lost & confused by your IMMENSE level of skating

I feel like those judges just want to see grinds and slides, whatever else you do is just not gonna score as high, not even a hardflip late flip over a huge hubba… I guess that why we rarely see Joslin/Luan/Shane in the finals

Even Nyjah shooked his head when he saw that criminally low score for this hard flip late flip

how Aurelian's Hard late flip was so underscored? its a 95+

Aurelien gave some 100% pure skateboard. That was what skateboarding is all about. He for sure should have one.

Aurelien first place.... Congrats from Brazil

Everybody talking about the hardfilp late flip, but Aurelien also only got an 85.57 for his hardflip back 180... robbed

That hardflip late flip should have been a 94 easy

Japan is taking skating to another level , the way they support skateboarding and their team skaters is awesome.

hardflip late flip was 95+ all day

Okay I have been consistently watching skating for 20 years, but I can tell you FOR A FACT that this year the women have officially stepped their game up to an entirely new level. So much love to all these girls rippin!! 🔥

easily the best skateboarding final ever witnessed just above and beyond in technicality and consistency the bar has been raised again...Aurilien was robbed everyone there knew it.

Tre flip 5-0 is crazy. Tre flips are usually caught with the front foot so catching it into a proper 5-0 is nutty imo

I'm a big fan of Nyjah but this guy Aurelien should win this, the last trick was insane like 9.8 for me honestly, he is super clean what an amazing skate show he just did!

I have to agree, that hardflip lateflip to me felt a bit underscored?

How is a 360 flip 5-0 such a low score? And Giraud got robbed big time, should have been 95.

Aurélien got the win for every one expect the judge

Mens finals starts at 2:08:41

Aurelian was robbed. The hardflip late flip would be insane for a video part, let alone two tries in a comp. His run was better than Nyjah's as well but scored lower

3:29:32 i know yuto wasnt actually mad but the way he looks up at nyjah after this hug was hilarious

If you don’t know, now you know… Whenever and wherever it matters most, competitive skateboarding has a serious judging problem. That is, unless, they are actively trying to alienate their core audience, and if that is the case, then kudos to them for a job well done.

The best moment ► 3:23:10

I love Nyjah but that Hardflip late flip was Defos a 94!

Tell your camera men to stop switching the shot to the crowd during the run. We don't give af about the crowd whilst they are skating!!!

Giraud won! Nyjah got overscored as usual. The hardflip late flip is 95+

Everyone in the comments saying Giraud should have won are dead wrong. The guy did nothing but regular tricks in all of his run and best tricks. Not a single other stance! Both best trick scores were regular hardflip variations over the same obstacle, then two reg hardflips in his runs. If you skate with zero variety (same stance and tricks) then the judges should rightly dock your scores. Nyjah's tricks consisted of a huge variety of regs, switch, fakie, nollie, and a variety of obstacles. That last switch heel nose solidified it. Nyjah just skated better, I know people hate to admit it. Props to Giraud for getting his highest ever place in a major contest though!

They need to completely change the way they judge skateboard (and maybe change all the judges themselves). New rules need to be made. From qualifier to final this judgement was absolute garbage and unfair for so many people. At this level that shouldn’t happen.

The judges must have thought it was a normal hardflip.

Bro these women skaters are actually going pretty hard. Unbelievable seeing them hit that huge handrail.

I say let the skaters judge themselves as a group. They all know who was best that day. They also know who placed higher and lower than they should have.

Aurélien Giraud hardflip late flip = min 97 basta, quelle tuerie

Chloe! She really improves a lot since last year. Such a talented young girl.

..... That being said, Nyjah is truly a BOSS. The judges need to learn to score the other skaters fairly as well though.

Dam dude I’d love to see Decenzo win one of these things ya know

That must be the most unqualified judges in skate history.

Well done to all the skaters cant wait to see Nyjah, Yuto and Aurelien go back at it in the finals. And for those who don't get the judges score on the Aurelien late flip...after 3 hard flips over the hubba - 1 already done in the best trick round - a normal hardflip over the hubba would've scored 75 MAX add the late flip +15 to 20points averages out to 92. Also that treflip "noseblunt" was generously scored.

Giraud got 85 for that first best trick?!?! Also when they forgive the judges for "knowing" someone's skill and expecting more is basically making a non impartial judgment........ Tony Hawk has talked about how this happened to him in the hay days

Aurelien’s scores seemed fair. But Nyjahs fakie flip 5-0 got overscored. He should not have got a 93.00 for that. Should be about a 90.00 which would have put him in 2nd after Aurelien’s hardflip lateflip. But then Nyjah should have got the win from the switch heel crooks. Also Gustavo’s nosegrind flip out got underscored at a 87.00. I would consider that trick better or even just close to a fakie flip 5-0 score. Not 6 points less. That’s stupid.

EL NIVEL DE LOS SKATERS ARGENTINOS !!....DIOS MIO !!...LA ROMPIERON TODA !...

They will need to hire new judges! That was so unrespectful to Aurelien... And yeah not just him was underscored.

Les tricks de Horigome c'est comme l'expression de son visage ça n'a pas changé depuis 10 ans. Et Nyjah il est fort d'accord mais toujours surnoté sérieux son run vaut pas 93 il n'y avait rien d'extraordinaire et même son best trick c'est du réchauffé il ne prends pas de risques mais ça paie. La SLS c'est vraiment de la merde

Flat to Flat has never really been judged that high. But that ( Aurelian's Hardflip late flip ) really should have been judged higher. Switch Heelflip Switch Crook is something really special as well.

É um absurdo o que essas meninas estão andando ... 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Thanks for the replay 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I get that technically the switch flip to the grind from Nyjah was probably worth more points but Aurelien's hardflip to late flip over that gap was insane and so much more interesting. Really a shame he didn't get the higher score for that.

Giraud Robbed so hard! That hard flip late flip was easily at least 95 MINIMUM! Really sad to see this

The scoring in this event was a total discgrace ESPECIALLY on that Hardflip late flip! That trick was a 97!!

Mauro!!!! OMG BEAST of a 1st run!

bueno mas allá del terrible hardflip late flip que se mandó Auri (del que todos ya están hablando), me enorgullece como argentino el score que metieron mati y maurito

yeah Chloe's run was sweet! aussie aussie aussie !

I think Aurelian was overscored on the treflip nose skid (grind, blunt?) and underscored on the hardflip lateflip, which cancels itself out. Moral of this story is gnarly flip trick variations won't win these contests. You need to innovate and be original on rails and hubbas, which Nyjah did. Never seen him do a sw heel nose grind or fakie flip nose grind at an event, and he was rewarded for it.

Highest Level on skateboarding RESPEKT (Hardflip frontfood lateflip) its amazing Trick!!! Thanks for this Show 🤜🤛👌🙏✌️

I want more of the camera work from Ryan decenzo's kickflip nose blunt actually felt like skating for a minute

funa is really improving, well deserved!!

The cheats were turned way up on Nyjah’s scores 😂💯

57:14 Yumeka is queen of contest tech, she did a straight kickflip then turned it into boardslide when she caught it. She’s going to be such a dominant force the next two years

The level of tricks compared to when the first SLS tournament was is crazy

The level in these finals was higher than ever. Great judging, too. Yes, the hardflip late flip was underscored, however it didn't matter: Nyjah improved on his score with the switch heel nosegrind so he would have won anyways. His best performance to date (and I'm not a huge fan to be honest, but he's undeniably the greatest street skateboarding competitor of all time).

93 for Nyjah's fakie flip-nosegrind and 91 for Aurelien's hardflip-lateflip...no

I'm a Nyjah fan and even I agree that Aurelians hard flip late flip over the hubba was the true banger of the best tricks

Hard to late flip was huge! But judges didnt amazed

Aurelian big boss!!!

Hard flip late flip is so clean

Fire those judges. That late flip was next level difficulty

Hard late flip should have been AT LEAST A 94. Nyjah is the undeniable winner either way though. 👏

Ils étaient au patinage artistique avant hier les juges non ?

This was Fun - Samora Wandallo

je lui aurai mis 99,9 pour le hardflip late flip, rien que parce que les mecs en face sont même pas capable de le poser en flat alors que lui te le met à deux mètres du sol en passant au dessus d'un méga rail, bref les juges ont gâché le championnat, y'avait pas une note cohérente. bravo aussi à Vincent qui a un style très aérien en slide, il impose le mec!

It was nice to see Nyjah skate well again. He hasn't been skating too well in some of the recent contests. I thought his days were coming to an end.

Aurelien must be get 95 score in trick 5

Skateboarding for life ❤️

Definitely underscored the late flip. Wonder if this happens too fast for the judges to see in realtime

It’s a qualifier but Nyjah skating like it’s his last time skating👏 All in, I love it! Lets go team USA🇺🇸

The judging today and yesterday was shockingly bad. I'm genuinely curious about the background of the judges. I don't understand how someone with even intermediate skateboarding skills could judge some of these tricks the way they did. I still don't know how Sasaki score a 75 on a perfect hardflip back lip and an 81 on a biggerflip board on the long rail, but Vincent got an 83 on a kickflip front tail on a hubba. Those tricks aren't even in the same ballpark, and it would still be an injustice to Sasaki even if their scores were reversed. I like Vincent's skating and style a lot actually, but he didn't deserve to be in these finals. Yuto got an 80 with a mind blowing NBD yesterday (that was probably the 2nd best trick of the entire contest), and Aurielian just got robbed at the end. I genuinely feel Nyjah deserved this win, but it takes away from the authenticity when the judging is so inconsistent.

Yoshizawa skate with Lakai shoes and t-shirt Nike sb ! Rizu Akama with Asics shoes and t-shirt Nike Sb!

Ryan decenzo was underscored on all his tricks because of that gremlin shirt.

Wow aurelien hardflip late flip was robbed… I was telling myself that was easily a 95+ then they gave him that low score .. these judges lately have been terrible no offense 🤦🏻‍♂️

Aurelien is one of my favorite skaters, his style and how fast and high he pops is insane. However, in this contest I think he was scored fairly. His ender in the run was a hardflip over the hubba, then he did the hardflip back 180 over the hubba, then he did hardflip late flip over the hubba. Difficult tricks yes, but too much hardflip : hubba. He was scored fairly because the tricks he was trying/landed were too similar and on the same obstacle. If Aurelien did like a fat 360 over the hubba like he did during the run, that probabaly would've scored better. I know he also has the treflip noseblunt, which would've scored better too. He's an incredible skater, but I think his trick selection was his downfall here.

Aurelien andando chega assusta, no maior gaz e perfeição, pena que é injustiçado p carai

aurelien giraud won in my opinion, congratulations from Brazil Giraud!

arregladisimo como muchos campeonatos de Argentina. ahora en europa. el skate sigue callendo en picada gracias a los grandes comerciantes. aurelian se merecía un 10 con el hardflip late flipado saltando la base en bajada.

Nyjah: lands a kick flip Crowd and judges: 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Yeah Chloe!! This made my day

Muito bom esse vídeo.

Maior injustiça do Skate que eu já vi, Aurelian merecia o mínimo naquela manobra um 9,6 (no mínimo) Roubaram para Nyjah.

Aurelian's ghetto bird score was terrible and he did it perfect.... thats what really screwed him out of the victory

Yes a clear rob I feel Aurelian did great I feel he won and his line was way better than nijah but ofcourse they would give it to nijah that’s really bad on the judges end

Aurelien's hardflip bs 180 was underscored, but his accidental 3 flip "noseblunt" was overscored...his hardflip late flip was a little underscored, I think in the 93-94 range have been fair, but he still would have lost. People hate on Nyjah, but he's one of the few guys who can skate contests for so long and still bring in new tricks, it gets repetitive seeing the same ones over and over (though his lines tend to have a similar feeling). Aurelien's hustle is pretty crazy though, the guy is running 100m dashes between tricks in the line section 😂 And where is Sora at?

O masculino foi roubado pra caralhxxxxxx! Precisava roubar tão feio desse jeito? Aff, deu até desgosto assistir a vitória do Nyjah. Só isso que eu digo!!! Só isso!!! Mesmo assim o Nyjah mereceu! Foi brabo!

The real winner was Aurelien.

O nível dos caras estão cada vez mais alto sem falar que essa é uma pista muito rápida , não tem margem pra erro .

Nyjah got us to the olympics dont @me

People...you can't get mad at this. Yes, he had a bangin run, but NO SWITCH, NO FAKIE, NOLLIE...THIS IS WHAT RANKS YOUR SCORE. HUGE IS FOR THE STREETS, NOT A PARK CONTEST.

Aurelien se lo merecía!

3:05:06 Shane’s like I want him on April :D

i love how Mauro Iglesias' shirt matches his board

the look of nyjah after the hardflip lateflip.. even nyjah would agree that this should be scored higher then his fakie flip nosegrind, that trick can be done easy by many pro skaters, even an amateur level... fakie flip nosegrind is also way easier then swich heel nosegrind, bot got almost same score... and the hardflip lateflip over that hubba is way harder and rare to see someone pull it off... i guess nyjah has to finish his documentary and his sponsors paying well to keep him in higher scores... no hate about nyjah, his a beast of a skater, but sometimes some of his basics get overscored compared to other tricks

Ribeiro tellement écœuré par les notations qu'il n'avait plus d'envie sur son dernier tricks. Comment tu peux être motivé d'envoyer une figures de dingue quand tu sais que Nyjah sera devant quoi qu'il arrive. J'adore Nyjah mais même lui ça se voit qu'il était gêné de gagner
