This is an interesting comparison between 1st and 4th place from this years X Games Best Trick contest. We have known Jacko for years and stoked that he backed up his gold medal in 2012. However, we are definitely bummed for Tom Pages who nailed an almost identical trick perfectly, and only recieved 4th place! Take a look for yourself. Not only is the trick extremely close in technique, but Tom also performed his version over the full 75ft ramp, a point which traditionally would score you higher, while Jacko only used the close super kicker.
Tom even went out and did the trick a 2nd time, cleaner than his first, and ended up scoring less! Explain that.
If this kind of bias judging continues in FMX, and other action sports, it will only mean that we as fans will see talented riders pull away from the contest scene, when they just continually get judged in such a way.
