Strait's run was more technical than McGarry's. Sure, he didn't trick a lot,
but his riding was super smooth and he never slipped up. Zink had the same
upper section as Strait in his line, it just wasn't executed as smoothly and
he didn't really hit anything lower down. Rampage isn't just about a big trick
or two, so taking a well traveled ridge and hitting the same features as
everyone else but flipping them isn't going to get you as far as dropping
strait in and still going huge. Go back and look at how smooth McGarry's ridge
was in comparison to Strait's line. He got penalized because it just wasn't as
gnarly.
