Man, Round 3 is WEAK, G-off robbed!!

[Kootenay Hack]

Man, round 3 of the UFC is so weak!!!! For once, I wish there was a "none of the above" option!!

And how the hell did some tow-in hack beat out a valiant effort by North Shore's own G-off?!!!

I guess it is true, people just want to see hacks huckin'.......baffles me.

Geoff Guelivich (sp?), you wuz robbed. As far as I'm concerned, G-off has had the best video yet. He promoted gimself, mixed in styles, mixed in bikes, had some soul, some personal character........I thought that's what this thing was about. Frazer also had a very good video.

Huckin' your meat IS NOT what it is about......ESPECIALLY when you need the power of an engine to get your speed!!!!!!!!!! Screw the tow-in, pedal like a true free-rider!!!

Anyways, I thought round 3 sucked, and those words barely ever come out of my mouth!

I thought it would have been between G-off and Fraser, who also had a great video...but I think Geoff had the edge...........
But Andrew Sage?????????? What the hell are you guys thinkin'?!! :???:

[IFO]

AGREEED...

word up..

to put it even nicely, this weeks was sad...

this isnt meant as a direct flame to anyone competing,more just a statement of personal feeling that Geoff got robbed...:mad:

[TREV]

geoff got robbed harsh...

ryan hayes owns round three

[m33p]

Geoff's video wasn't all that good, not extreme skill but he was very well rounded. Ryan Hayes took round 3 because he was the best outa the 4. I'd gladly watch Ryan in a video before Geoff.

Most of the people going big(most I said) in the UFC are doing is very smooth btw. What ever happens happens. I purely think Klassen should have never won UFC1 but I'm not gonna get into that.

[Cheese]

Its Gulevich. :) And yes, he got robbed adn its really pissing me off these little kids that are voting for the "WHOA! 90 FOOT JUIMP!!! he musta made it because it faded out in the middle and the landing wasn't worth using up precious video time and just because it said attempted it means he made it. sheeesh, that guys RADICAL!" bAH!!!!! where the hell is the bike industry going, it seems that everyone wants to see morons huck off huge clifs and watching unsafe riders going for 100 foot road gaps. Thats not mountain biking, thats motocross, lets keep our sport origional and not keep changing everything into other sports like MX and BMX.

To late, all these kiddies wanna ride this hardcore so called "street" riding. Were not even close to mx in any respect. sure 90 is big but thats a beginners jump in mx. I'd have to agree that geiff should won round 2 just because he was riding a lot of shore and was a rounded rider, not because of his skill.

yah man, corey was robbed so harshly...

[Crazy Canuck]

Hayes has more than what was shown.

As for Geoff, he's the dope, but, Hugeness help Super T win it last year........thats what people want to see, Hence, Sage's advancement.

But overall, I agree. This group shoulda started the UFC with round 1. Things could be totally different than they are now.

[Flow]

That sucks that Geoff didn't make it, he's a ripper.

So far from looking at who advanced and who I think will advance(Matt Hunter next round and Ryan Hayes this) I think Cameron Mcreal should and will win overall.

:)

I think geoff should win. :( But the little kids wana see superheros ride their bikes like motercycles. :mad:

[TREV]

:(

all the north van rippers lost

me, fraser, geoff and trevor porter

:(

[dudski]

ya geoff is a ripper but he already has like what 5-6 hook ups?? why need more

but whatever hes good got robbed i don't think that round should of been won by who did

[counterpoint]

guys, the reason the NV locs didn't advance is because shore riding looks really bad on computers and quicktime. It is too dark, small and never gives the trails the justice they deserve. No other rider would have compared to those guys if they were to ride those trails. If I shot Hayes on the shore alone as well, chances are his vid wouldn't have been as good either.

In ain't an accurate judging comp but it's the best we got so far...

[BiG D]

sage is a hack
geoff should have won

[seand]

oh come on....an aussie flipping his car, crashing a dirtbike, and just jumping around like a lizard on crack is a shoe-in win for what this comp is not about!

the idea here is great...but there has to be a better way to conduct it....

so far i have been less then pleased with the results...its not reaceface's fault...and i by no way want them to think im pointing a finger at them....but come on...there is more to life then tripple digit hucks and spine cracking falls....

isnt this supposed to be able what freeriding means to you? i heard only ONE video where someone actualy spoke about what biking means to them and what they want to bring to the sport.....
THAT is what i was looking for....any monkey can brainlessly cliff drop....

[counterpoint]

the "what freeriding means to me" 30 second clip is only for the top 2 guys and you vote on that section alone.

[seand]

ahhh...

well then i take back that part of my complaint...

:)

[Biking Fiend]

this comp is retarded, im glad mccaul advanced but sage is a fuckin dumbass hack, geoff got harshly robbed. hayes will take this one

[Neo]

that whole RF thing is WEAK. i dont vote or anything.

[blunt boy]

GG was robbed. That Aussie guy was embarrassing. I surely don't want him representing a segment of riding that I feel a part of. We must unite against him! I feel bad for RF if he wins.

[Neo]

if you ask me, its just like the voting for the nhl all star game. its all about vote stuffing and popularity. not skills.

you guys are a bunch of babies, whining about how your friend didn't win, you're acting like the whole world's out to get him

no actually its complaining how mindless idiots can think hucking yourself off a towed in 90 foot gpa jump that you dont make is skill and is woth $10000 when a kid actually has skills he gets robbed.

[WBC]

Seriously... Not to be playa hatin' but Andrew Sage really did suck. He had nothing. He reminds me of Down and DoubleDown style shit. It's so overplayed and so lame. It really does piss me off.

Cam McCaul...he wasn't my favorite since I felt he was fairly one dimensional, but I can see why he won, he really was massively skilled.

It's all been said before, but I've seriously lost faith in the mtb scene. We have nothing for ourselves, nothing that is MOUNTAINBIKING...we look like a bunch of fucking tools with contest results like this. No wonder we get so much shit from bmx and mx riders.

Seriously, I hope someone DESERVING and original wins the contest....I know it won't happen, but I seriously do wish for it.

:mad:

[Mountain Dewd]

so far i think that cams vid is the best. geoff definitly got robbed. i am pissed that andrew guy won, but he could have more shit than he video taped.

this round does blow:(

i think steve should win cause he seems like the best canadite and his vid is pretty good(he put it up awhile ago).:)

but cams is really good.

[Keefer]

That Cam McCaul guy was a very good vid. It blew me away. Last round, nothing really blew me away, and this round is a bit better. Hayes video is pretty good, you gotta admit.
It just seems like McCauls had more stuff in it? Like, more action shots, you got to see 10-15 stunts instead of 5...

Geoff got robbed though. That's what I felt. All these big huckers need to go smaller and throw some stylo into it.

[BOUCH]

I voted for big air x-treme sage because i liked his x-tremeness.

[Midas]

where can I see g-off video?

No one is complaining that a buddy didn't move on. We're embarrassed that tow-in hacks may be representing our lifestyle, riding style, and the entire community of freeriders.

Freeriding is constantly being scrutinized, and if this is any indication of how things will turn out for our culture, I'm nervous.

I take pride in, and look up to, diversity. I also think character is very important. So far very few of the videos have given us any character. I know they are only 1 minute videos, but it has been shown that it can be done.

I'm not dissing anyone, I'm just dissapointed in some of the results. The people will choose a champion, and I'll give him/her props regardless.

I'm simply speaking honestly, and most importantly, without any bias.

[Bonecracker]

i dont see how raceface liked sages vid half of it is rolling cars and some parts he has no friggen helmet how did he even get pick for the sweet 16

[TokSik]

What were the rules on the filming? I thought you couldn't use footage that were already in movies? I'm just wondering because Corey Derpak used that same tow-in jump that was used in Superheroes III.

its all about the popularity contest. nobody cares about skill anymore. popularity sells and thats what RF is all about.

[Captain Stabbin]

Was the Ryan Hayes guy the guy jumping at the outdoorshow?

[superman_4]

i voted for andrew sage and it pisses me off when all you geeks vote for your friends, even if they arent the best one. but i dont complain. and ya ryan will win. hes awesome. and i think the only person robbed so far is neil meier, becuz he has had the 2nd best video of all, except he was up against the best one so far, cam mccaul. if neil was in round 2 or 3 he would win hands down. as for this round being worst, i'd say round 2 was worst. they all sucked ass. at least in this one we have ryan hayes who actually did something impressive.

[switch]

This week has a couple good vids.

I like the Tyler Jorgenson video. He does nothing that's mind blowing, but he's smooth and his video is well rounded (as it should be).

But I really like the Ryan Hayes video. His talent is obvious. And the last triple on the tabletops :eek: - he must own at Whistler.

[shorebiker]

he wasnt robbed, people vote for what they want to see

u could never jump 90foot u dont have the ball because your dog named geof chewed them off.
u are all so nervus because your ass holes are so loose u dont know when shit is going to come runnin down your leg.

That may be true, but it is also sad.

And Andrew received 59% of the votes. In a 4 way race, that's a bit more than a win.

its the same jump but its different angles, only htat shot of his face is the same getting towed in, i dont think that really matters though??? of his face? cut him some slack.
and i was there that day, it was like a day before the free ride challenge in whislter, some where secret up high neil found a creek for cory to jump over..it was absolutely insane to see if you were there.

[Tha Niggla]

i think geoff's video was rad, really well rounded and showed lots of skill...i know i voted for him.
but the whole ufc thing is based on random opinions, and ANYONE can vote, so fo course people who don't understand skill are going to screw it up, it's flawed by nature, so you shouldn't be too disappointed about it.

besides, if you won you'd have to use raceface cranks and carry a spare pair with you whenever you went riding.

I was just wondering because it looked the same and I wasen't sure what the rules were. Either way I wouldn't have voted for him.

[just ride]

a couple parts in all of them made my jaw-drop, but i voted for geoff because my eyes were glued to the screen for the whole video.. and not bcuz i know him and hes a friend- but bcuz he works real hard(not saying the others dont, but u can really see it in his riding)..........but no use in ranting and raving about it now.. theres nothing anyone can do to change it

ride on

[Kirill]

this round i voted for ryan hayes and i hope he does take it, i am quite upset that sage won last round, IMO { and others too i hope! } his video was all balls and no style.

[freeeeeerider]

im not even voting anymore. all you have to do to win is go big with no skill. it's just a contest on who can do stupid stuff with very little skill

[fergs]

Just wait a few years until Geoff and Ryan and the other deserving locals ride in some sort of contest with the big-air dude that wins UFC and collectively hand his ass back to him. It'll happen, just have to be patient...

Right.....

Can you do backflips?, double handed seat grabs? No footed can can's to no footers? 50 foot gaps? 30 foot drops? Yes I thought so.

i really can't grasp the concept of going big = no skill. It is a huge skill that 100% of the people complaining about it will never have.
