UFC WEEK ONE POLL!

[Aircorp]

Who'd you vote for? It would be nice to see some figures as the contest progresses.

[that person]

kyle, canadian, skills (not all street), i like his style

[Slingdros]

I voted for Kyle.

I thought his riding was superior. He showed good variation from street to the DJ's to Dh and showed he could huck big with style. He threw in multiple different airs into his video during his hucks which kept things interesting. His street riding was also very creative and thats overall what won my vote.
I really liked Wayne Goss's video because it showed that he was working on improving (showing crashes and then finally getting the trick down), however, his big air hucks and such did lack style as compared to the rest. He'll defiantley be a contented when he developed his stlye a little more, he looked somewhat sketchy on some DJ tricks and the street but it looks like he's pushing himself, so definate props to him.
Dave's video was more editing than anything. It really didn't seem like there was anything that impressive in there in comparision to the others, just some really nice camera angles and digital effects to add to the video, unfortuantley that can't carry him in the real hucking world. Also, his bio really turned my off from voting for him...he seemed far too high on himself and cocky. I don't think thats what an amature looking to get into the pro side of things should have for an attitude.
Finally, Jeremy's video was also superb but he lost my vote to Kyle because he showed little varition in his style in the air, it seemed like the same tweek off every air/huck and that got kind of repetative, although his all-around riding was great and his video was very well done!

Just my thoughts.

Props to all the guys on awesome videos, Lord knows that I could never ride like that, so I'm not really one to critsize anything! But that's just my take on all the vid's from that section!

Great first round....can't wait to see the other 12 vids!

[Grimace]

i cant choose lol that ausie is a smooth rider

[bullit_kid]

dave and kyle got my votes

how did you get that from him riding?


if he was cocky he wouldnt be riding smoothly

[white ri0t]

Goss slayed it, IMO, then the Aussie, then the kid from p33g, then the Yank.

[Brad Dawg]

i voted for the aussie. He was smooth, fast and stylish...

id love to see super t's vid and ryan hayes vid put up against the batch this year....


AHHAHAHHAAHAH!! super t wouldnt make it past first round!

[Mountain Dewd]

For me it was between Dave, kyle and jeremy.

I am suprised to see wayne leading our pole. He had the least impressive video i thought.

Dave defenantly had the best video out of those guys and seems to be the most diverse rider. IMO.

All the voting just cause so and so is canadian or american is just retarded i think. I vote for who i think is the best rider. I voted for hunter last year cause i liked his video more than cams.

I am not a insane nationlist.:rolleyes:


BTW please dont flame, i wont respond.

[Voleurz represent]

I voted Wayne, I was down to Kyle and Wayne, but I watched the vids side by side and Waynes captured my attention the most, thus getting my vote. Whoever said he has no style on drops should watch his vid again, He dead sailors one drop, manuals the tranny of one and tables another, I thought it was sick. Hopefully he wins this round.

[hardtail slave]

Talk about tough decisions, especially when i haven't had coffee today. I had to vote for Wayne, because he was crushing those drops on a letoy hardtail. Those bikes are not forgiving :D And his riding is exactly where i want to go with mine. Anyone of those guys is worthy of winning though imho

Super T's vid was mostly from NS 5 which was shot almost 3 years ago. As per Tylers riding ability, I don't know too many people who go bigger and is as much as difersified.

The level of competition/rider skill has vastly improved over all the other years for sure. These 4 lads rip with great style.

I'm giving my vote to WG for having the most well rounded vid.

[damian]

All videos (my oppinion, if you disseagree, great!) but Kyle's were boring, didnt hold my attention. Kind of like NWD 4, great hucks and all, but I love how much style Kyle put into his riding, he also showed a whole lot of diversity, fast,street, trail, huck, it was all there with clean style. The only othet person that would get my vote would be Wayne, the rest, meh.

[Straw]

Wayne all the way.

He's the type I've rider I want to be...only rides a hardtail, great tech skills in the park, and can also go big in the bush. And he can hold his own in the dirt jumps too.

I'm happy to see he's in the lead, for the NSMB poll. For now, anway.

[TREV]

[Dean W]

Wayne Gross

That guy rocks and he's on a HT.

He should most definatley make the next round.

[Universe]

Wayne G for me.

God I hate re-used bike vid music.

[Aircorp]

Kyle is on a hardtail too, he broke his tazer half way through the season, he was on a MM for most of it.

[Squampton]

Wayne all the way, whoever said he doesn't have style should really watch the vid again. On top of that the guy landed a whip!

[VancouverIslguy]

it was definately a toss up between Wayne and Kyle for me. In the end I went with Kyle because I thought he had a little more variation in his riding than Wayne, it was really close though, it still could've gone either way.

[Jamie_k]

Ya thats why he didnt get my vote.
My tally goes to Dave in the land down under for some sweet riding.

[m33p]

Dave, everyone else lacked smooth style off the big shit.

Kyle Norbraten for me.

[ReCkLeSs RiDeR]

Jeremy Teman for me am I like tho only one who liked his vid?

[Wildeman]

Jeremy has sweet style but he didn't take his hands off his bars once, tables and whips, tables and whips. I think it is between Dave and Wayne for me.:D

[Jaysin]

Can someone please send the video to me via MSN?? j_richter82@hotmail.com

Thanks

Read the post again my friend....I said from his bio that he wrote. Maybe you should be careful and make sure you know what you're talking about before you try and start a flame war. My comments were fair and my own opinion. :rolleyes:

[IFO]

to be honest im gunna view all 4 videos again before i judge..

cuz all of em seemed pretty basic and way to similar...

all the riders were VERY good, dont get me wrong... but i didnt see anything in any one riders video that made it worth "voting" to advance ....

[NickS]

i voted for dave huge whips and tables super smooth.

[mudpuppy]

Yeah, I am amazed.....they really stepped it up this year, I wrote what I thought about it on my site....jsut click the picture in my sig.

[spookymilk]

Wayne got my vote, can kill all styles on a hardtail plus he's my friends, friends brother. If you want to see more riding of him go get Battle of/in the North, he stomps a 25 or so foot drop on a P3 with Z-1's or somethin. Jeremy's vid sucked to me, all he did was stupid bar tweaks off everything he did. Dave was cool and his whips were so tweaked but it seemed he already has a sponsership or support so he dosn't really need to win this and Kyle was rad but didn't huck as big as Wayne

[inshane]

If Jeremy Teman had a bigger bag of tricks he could have most likly taken the round i think.

Battles in the North rules......he's the d00d that stomps the 25 footer on the P3:eek: (were talkin that set of 3 drops right??)

Good vid, check it people

[Valo]

Wayne's video impressed me the most.........I think he has great style and goes big.

im with you his style of ride his vid and music was all good for me..so i gave him a vote but all in all i hope the videos get better i dono i didnt see alot in them not that the riders arnt ripping ;)

Yup, that's him (if you listen closely when he's riding up to the drop you can hear a time bomb sound in the background :thepimp: ) He's pretty smooth seeing as a guy on a Dare or somethin broke his crank off on the same drop

[J dot]

I voted for Kyle and Dave... all were good

[switch]

The entrants should be given more time. The videos are too short and they're mostly patches of quick clips.

Pretty tough. I had to watch a few times. They're definitely all very good. In the end, I had to go with Dave. He's really smooth at high speed, and in throwing down the tricks. Wayne's was great to watch, but his riding seems more street/dj with some cool hardtail riding. The other two riders could have done a better video as I don't think their talent was showcased well enough.

It will be interesting to see who wins. The first UFC winners seemed to favour guys who were more free-ride (trail riding) oriented than downhill or street/dj.

[KillerJoe]

His video was the only on that made want to grab my bike and go rip it up. (Not that I really can).

This is a video judging contest. I don't just look at the rider/riding.

I would say 50% rider skill and 50% the video.

I narrowed it down to Wayne or Dave. Then I watched again and again. The video that Dave had really made me feel the speed and excitement instead of slow large drops. I'm not saying he's a better rider but the video was better and more exciting.

Try to vote for the best video instead of your cousins ex boyfiends brother.....

Keep personal politics/sponsorships/friendships out of it. I would have liked to have voted for a Canadian but just couln't after watching Dave's video.

Can't wait for next week.

[T.Walker]

kyle got my vote. the aussie is already sponsored by several companies tho??? isn't he?

I've seen the clips...but they are choppy on my comp(pos)...so I'll go see 'em again at my Bro's before I vote. But I'm pretty sure at least 2 of them don't stand a chance.

Are they seriously still using the same old "all you need is an e-mail addy" to vote??? No fuckin' way!!! Too much at stake....they need to make it honest.

it took me a while of going through all the vids to decide which one would get my vote.

i ended up voting wayne, although i really like dave's video particularily how it was shot. Very good camera work.

[norco125]

dave has the winning skills for that round :thepimp:

i voted goss , he was doing the crazy shit and throwin in style (ladder gap to manual:eek: )

[Gemininehundred]

Im from Prince George BC and I've ridden with Kyle before. Hes landed tailwhips before and the one gap he x-ups over is about a 20 footer with like a 8 foot step down to it. His video totally doesnt show his true skills, he rushed it way too much. Also, the bread'n'butter gap he does in Utah is on a hardtail...thats like a 20 footer as well with about 10 feet of drop. So alls I'm trying to say really is VOTE FOR KYLE!!!VOTE FOR KYLE!!!

[Gemininehundred]

kyles song is from the matrix man;)

If you're only given 30 seconds for a video, why would you waste the first few seconds on a shot of a rider pushing or picking up a bike? There wasn't enough content in the video.

[Sobot_FR]

I vote Dave. Smooth on all the big stuff

[just ride]

Kyle got my vote, it was the only vid where i was glued to the screen. He showed great ability in every aspect and i think thats key.

[M13]

Kyle Norbraten for me.

i couldnt choose until i had to watch everyone of them 3 times

kyle stuck it!!!

[junior beef]

Dave,
He drops it like its hot.
Serious moto whip stylee.
Its dope.

[Zedbra]

I went with Wayne - thought his skills were mad for a hardtail, his vid was well rounded too, showing the constant bails of trying to get that level.

The Orange rider's vid (can't rememebr his name) licked. Looked like the camera lens was wet and had zoom on all the time.

[g1mpy]

I think that Jeremy is the best...I voted for him

[Flow]

Wayne Goss freaking kills it! He can land tailwhips and listens to at the gates, thats how he fer sure got my vote! and also Wayne is a unknown shredder.... Dave has been travelling world cups n such already, his exposure is already there.

[Furious]

Wayne Goss. Does it all, does it on one bike.

[The_Real_Yeti]

dave just sticks out because the vid have good flow and he threw down!:thepimp:

[wrecked]

kyle got my vote, he deserves it

[willmtbike4food]

kyle seemed to be the only rider to be demonstrating ( IMHO ) a true 'freeride' spirit....

don't get me wrong, all the riders are very good, and definately better than me, but the other 3 seemed to do too many dj's. at least in my opinion.

plus, kyle had flow, or at least in the portions in his vid.


as for all you guys voting more than once... thanks for keeping it fair. :rolleyes: every one of those riders is on the list for a reason... they made it that far, why take that away from them?

[illomatic]

I went with Gross. The competition was pretty even, but the thing that put me over the edge was that he was doing it ALL on a hradtail.

As far as I remember, the contest was strated to give new talent a chance. Dave has already been sponsored. As for the other two, they already look like they're getting some money from somehwere - the Yank has a Patriot and a 222!!, while the dude from PG has an Intense for God's sake!

It's all about potential, and Gross has the most.

[bullit_kid]

I dont know why you guys are choosing then because of which bikes they ride ? or if they are exposed or not. Supert won and he was almost a well known name. Plus, in daves case, he doesnt ride for orange .. anymore. and im thinkin he needs money from a team so he can race all over the world. ..

I am 99% sure that not a penny of kyles Intense was paid for by his parents....I heard he raised all the money by doing chores and shit to afford that bike

Like I said, I chose based on potential. All the guys are young and will get better with more practice - not that they don't already rule.

The competition was and is gonna continue to be really close.

I see more potential in a guy who rides one bike than someone who is ALREADY riding 2 or 3 top-of-the-line bikes. That little 10 or 15% from the kit is already there, so the room for imrpovement is already that much less.

honestly i was so hammered when i watched them and voted i cant rmember, but if i was thinking somewhat straight i woulda voted for the aussie

[Anderson_Bros]

if i knew which one of them spent the most time building there own trails/jumps i would vote for them, its easy to just go out and ride some ones stuff every day and get better when all you have to do is ride, throw building into the mix and riding time is cut almost in half plus it takes alot more passion i believe to get out there and build the stuff before you ride it, i voted for kyle but wayne was close behind, jeremy's vid was pretty good but kinda boringand dave well hell make it on his own without UFC, actually i think he already has made it

personally thats dumb, these vids are showing who is the best rider not what bikes or if they were riding their own stunts. If the person looks like they shred and got the skilsl to pay the bills then they get my vote. the aussie was riding redbulls tuff but it looked fuckin sick

[Flow]

ya ya but dave is a pro already. he gets free bikes, and he travels and rides with the best of them. I thought this comp was about finding NEW talent?

i had no idea he was pro, i think its up to RF to decide who goes in or not

[bullit_kid]

but dave has troubles travelling to all the world cups, he doesnt have a consistent team, nor does he have the money to travel to all the world cups.. win UFC 3, you ride for team giant/raceface/manitou alongside dustin adams and jared rando ...

Ross, you funny guy.


Nice debate on why you should pick a rider.

RF put up the contestants that they would be willing to sponsor. Whether or not the eventual winner will be riding DH on the WC/NORBA circuit, or will be appearing on "Drop In - Season III" isn't part of the selection criteria. Our job is to pick who we think is the better rider (actually it's more like who has the best video).

Wayne Goss all the way for this round....the most well-rounded rider of the 4, with the most interesting array of tricks under his belt. He totally deserves this one.

[GNARLY MAN]

waynes.... it was down to his or kyles for me

[Kyle the Hun]

I narrowed it down to Wayne or Kyle... the other riders were really good, but not enough variation... I like some of the nice tables, but maybe some different tricks instead of whip after whip... backflips only go so far.

I voted for Kyle because he is one cool cat, and I liked the variation of his vid, plus he is just oh so smooth.

[Cheese]

I voted for Kyle.

[Shmoe]

Im getting my;
Sister
Brother
Grandma
Grandpa
Cat
Dog
Goldfish
and my english class to vote for one guy so he has a better chance.

:rolleyes: Lets keep this fair. :rolleyes:

I voted for Goss because I thought his video was the best. I dont care if so and so is sponsored or got a good deal on a bike etc. Its about the biking.

[Aldo Nova]

vote for Kyle, p33g represent:P :P

[WIND]

This is so fricken ridiculous. I am going to outline all the things that should have no standing in your vote:
Nationality- WTF this is the dumbest thing i've ever heard of, i mean come on you guys voted for Hunter last year cause he was from CAN and how many ads do you see him in?

Bike- Who gives a shit, and come on with this, "He's on a hardtail, hes a better rider." If thats true tell the dude to get a fs and get sponsored. And brand preferences are freaking lame.

Personal Relationship- Alright this kinda makes sense but honestly if my bro was competing i wouldn't vote for him cause he ain't good enough.


"FREERIDING ATTITUDE"- ????? um ok you guys are from the shore, give me a rough demographic of the people you see on fromme on a nice weekend day. Its all types. This is the biggest load of shit i've ever heard. If you are in the sport because of your badass freeride attitude you can just get teh hell out cause thats pretty lame.

Now things that you should consider:

Talent- Are they good?

Versitility- Can they rip it all up?

Growth Potential- Is the dude a 32 year who ain't gonna get too much better?

And lets try to keep this fair, voting more than once is kinda lame. Anyway thats just my opinion.
