Luke like another people said you should make it , i think next time you will step up ahead of their game and do ur thing as long people know you now...it takes time i guess.

I don't think the judges picked favorites here, I think certain favorites proved out. The way they ride is what makes them favorites to win in the first place. That was a really great line up of riders. Wish EDUB and Apex would have made it out there.

Re: XDL East coast eliminator.....
It's the best i have seen yet, but just feel the variation should be worth a little more than a max of 20 points for 20 trix...... I'm not saying it's bad, nor trying to argue about it, but like you said... make the runs for xdl rules... which mine was not..... and i'm not mad about it..... you live, you learn, you ride!

Re: XDL East coast eliminator.....
Agreed.......I thought the judges did a phenominal job this weekend for the position they were put in.
Excellent work guys....
.......I would never wanna be put into your position.

Re: XDL East coast eliminator.....
what are you talking about I was the biggest squid there. I even put a longest stop in my run .(an attempt at a stoppie without getting the rear tire in the air). one of these days im not going to choke , maybe if they had the race cars going through the comp area I would do better
Yeah, maybe poor gil shouldn't have practice sessions with me anymore because I coulda sworn he was riding exactly like me. We've coined terms for my tricks: STOPS, POPPIES and NO BURNS. I "stop" without the rear wheel coming up & skidding foward, my wheelies never reach bp so they're called "poppies" and "no burns" cuz the tire doesn't burn out. Maybe I can show you some of these exclusive tricks one day.

Re: XDL East coast eliminator.....
Did anyone make it over to the drifting event saturday? that was insane.
Borne and crew, Thank you guys for letting us ride at your spot in Davenport saturday night. Was a lot of fun.
^^^^^Gil rode fine. and your guys' dog was awesome. I was afraid it was coming out of the crib and biting me while watching the event.
Luke Duke- Dont sweat it homie.We thought your run was sick.

Re: XDL East coast eliminator.....
I had a great time this weekend, even though I waffled myself after my qualifier! Judges always have a tuff job to do, but this weekend was insane! The amount of talent at this event was rediculous, could have been any one of the 30 guys out there! Luke, I didn't see your run, but I am sure it was good, and I am sure you weren't far from qualifying, I just hope my wrist heals up before March! Good seeing everyone again, and thanx again to Teach, the Coltons, John Legion and whoever else had my bike totally straightened out before I got out of the ambulance!

so true , sometimes they pick their fave riders like usually ... there is another reason why i didnt go to complete ...i guess it is all about favorism not their skills nowadays. that sucks really.

We already had one guy say the same thing at the begining of the weekend, Shane C, hell, I cant even remember his last name (ya know so many people to favor I cant keep it straight), he qualified 6th and was a unknown rider.
Ever think of this one .... Theres probably a reason that the same 5-10 riders always place in the same 5-10 places in EVERY comp they go to no matter whos doing the judging. I know I dont judge 3/4 comps teach went to, but im pretty sure he got 1st in 3 of the 4 he went to.
Maybe its our judging conspiricy, we all just want to keep the new riders down ...... come on guys everyone has the same chance, just cause youre a local superstar doesnt mean you are the most well rounded rider. I would love to see a few new guys dominate, just read the judging criteria, do the tricks you do perfectly, and make a run thatll work.
