I do feel like the judging can be adjusted to try and reward lines where consequence is mitigated but still produces the visual spectacle we've come to expect.
Things like a step-up over a shark fin would be epic to watch riders flat spinning or even hand/foot tapping over, but that would be equally challenging to do in the build constraints.
Like you said, Brandon has finesse, but that's largely a product of having such a big bag of tricks that he can create a winning run without taking the sorts of risks other have to by putting 120ft stretches of dirt and air turn into a piece of a linked top-to-bottom run, that has to be executed perfectly in the wind on the day.
