Here's what I had to say.
UFC Finals - three left
I haven't been following the videos since round 3. But good luck to those two guys who are in it together. They had my favourite video from this year's UFC.

Brooks/ Gatzka's video's have been most amazing.

I saw you in the lifestyle. And your arm.
Sorge all the way, its cheating with 2, the double can can has it for me
The other votes are cool as well. I think that forward flip should have been the best trick it wasnt there though . :-(
How in the world is it cheating? Both guys obviously have the skills. If you were stoked on their vid, you were stoked on their abilities. If anything, it can hurt their chances because with a team effort, one guy can bring the other one down. (this didn't happen in this case) and 2 guys will have to share the prize instead of one getting it all.

I'd like to make a comment about Stuart Kernaghan's remarks on the last round of the UFC.
When he commented on joe's riding and video and said it may not be what we want in a "freeride" competition, I think his point was somewhat hypocritical. By putting limits and borders around the definition of FREEriding, you're ultimately destorying the meaning of the term. I think the video could have used some tuneage……but other than that I think the ingenuity and creativity shown in that video was FAR better than the other steepline, big huck, status quo videos.
My $0.02.
Two heads are better than one.
Brooks/Gatzka all the way. The bike scene is looking for more than can-cans these days.

Slingdros - let's start with a definition.
hypocritical - adj : professing feelings or virtues one does not have
I did, and still do, believe that Joe's riding is amazing but it's not freeriding in the sense that most people think of the sport. It's trials. And that's not the same thing. I don't see how that is hypocritical.
What you may be wanting to argue, however, is the (generally accepted) definition of freeriding. You're more than welcome to do that, and have your own opinion on what freeriding is - and can be.
But I can almost guarantee you what Joe was doing isn't freeriding as far as Race Face is concerned. The company is looking for upcoming talent that can showcase its products - cranks, bars, stems, etc. that are made for big-hit riding.
I don't disagree for a second that it was something new, something different from what else was out there. But in order for that video to make it to the top of the heap, it would have to be entered in a different type of contest. Not a freeriding contest.

I think the contestants for the final deserve to be there.
I'll be voting for Kurt Sorge. He rips, he's only 16, and he's Race Face material.
