So glad to see I'm not the only one noticing the scoring on this. I've been watching a bunch of different comps the past couple of weeks like FMX, other motocross and bmx freestyle, and other drastically different sports like snowboarding and other extreme sports. I've noticed this upsetting trend of new and innovative styles not being rewarded. Whether its Redbull, X Games, or sometimes even Nitro Circus, the "old" riders get high scores for mediocre runs that sometimes are hardly cleaner than the crazy complex new styles coming out.
While watching Foster's final run, after having watched the entire contest from the beginning, I got the sense that regardless of what insane tricks he pulled it was literally impossible for him to beat Nyquist's 89.6. Very disappointed in the judging, Foster should have won.
I honestly don't know what the judges were watching, I like Nyquist but he's been doing truckdrivers since 1999...should have been between baldock and foster, new and massive tricks every hit. Rigged.
I used to ride religiously, everyday with no exception. That was 3 years ago and after 5 seasons of varsity rowing in high school my priorities have changed, but watching this is hard. I wouldn't think twice of crashes like these but looking back really generates some ptsd for me. I understand this is "pushing the limits" and going further with bmx but this needs to stop somewhere. Its getting to the point where riders only care about the next trick, or the biggest jump (this exemplified by nitro circus) but it seems bmx today is so focused on whats next, that the enjoyment i derived from riding, doing just basic tricks and having fun, just gets lost with every groundbreaking event. And of course the injuries, they are amplified, exponentially over the three years i had stopped. Looking at this new world of bmx doesn't inspire me to come back, for it is just a society of whats next and not enjoying the simpler things of a bmx bike.
Funny i was sitting here thinking back on how racing ruined my love for riding. I raced bmx in Utah through the 80s and lost my love for riding while trying to win, and i stopped riding for years. In my late 20s i bought a beautiful Schwinn race bike. My first alluminum frame. I rode around downtown doing nothing but enjoying myself. No videos to impress, no fame or glory, just that filled with that magic feeling of riding that i first felt as a kid. To this day i still pull out the bmx and ride through the alleys to the museum. No one sees me and it does not matter. Strange where joy comes from, I was never able to win it, it just found me when i was authentic. Strange indeed.
Okay I screamed at my screen. I know this is an old competition, but Foster's run was so amazing and to then be given such a low score. What the hell?!
Watching this, Baldock became my favorite one. Love his tricks, should have won. very professional guy. No idea how someone who does barspins over and over could beat what Baldock did. What a shitty result
If your name is Nyquist I guess you win gold no matter how much bigger the other riders are going? 89.6? I get it, the man is a legend. Use to watch him and Hoffman when I was little. They got me to wanna ride but don’t rip off the new talent for the sake of names....bs
Mychal Moser They don't even notice the small details like foster finished his last run with an opposite triple whip and they just said it was a triple whip.
Def no favoritism here... that score they gave Nyquist was def not deserved, esp when James Foster threw that one huge run after Nyquists run abs he only gets like an 85...? Uhhuh
IMO, Foster should have won this. He had style and originality. The judges should never be allowed to judge a comp again. Throw those announcers in the mix and whoever uploaded this video in interlaced scan while we're at it.
I'm from Brazil and I would like them to put subtitles in Portuguese because many Brazilians watch and in the end many do not understand why it's in English! thanks in advance
These judges were pathetic. An 89.6 for a few 360's and barspins? and yet Foster and Baldock do almost twice as much as Nyquist and get lower points? Do the judges not see the difficulty in the trick Foster and Baldock do? Majorly Rigged! -.-
Baldock has DUI and drug issues. Never gonna get the scores. It's all about image and sponsors. And Nyquist is a legend and still puts down ridiculous runs
@@littlelarry2912 If by ridiculous you mean stale, then yeah. I quit watching X Games in the 90's cause i got sick of watching 2 hours of backflip barspins and truck drivers.
Issues or not his run was sweet as hell im watching this in 2020 and they still haven't put nyquist down yet.hes like an old dog whos suffering from bad hips and old age but his owners wont put him to sleep lol
In his defense, he did take it to a whole other level....if it was 1996. I also rode amateur in 1998. Compared to the way children ride today, I sucked. Nyquist has zero style as far as I am concerned.
+K9 UNIT If you really think it's a chemtrail (extraordinary claim), then prove it (extraordinary evidence). My research has led me to believe (based on evidence) that chemtrails have been dismissed by the scientific community.
Contrails disapate quickly. Chemtrails linger. There's literally tons of patents you can search for cloud seeding. When people act like this isn't real, it cracks me up.
That win definitely should have gone to Foster or Baldock. Nyquist is good but there's no way he deserved an 89 for that shit. Like wtf did he buy out the judges?
How they scored this event was brutal. I really can't believe the score Baldock was given. He threw down some incredible tricks.
If there stands the judges looking for flow as well they mean they are only looking at the flow
Agreed!

34:41 SKETCHY! I'm so impressed he managed to stay on.
James Foster totally killed it on his last run. He should have won
Ooof. RIP Pat Casey. You are definitely missed.
I honestly don't know what the judges were watching, I like Nyquist but he's been doing truckdrivers since 1999...should have been between baldock and foster, new and massive tricks every hit. Rigged.
Agreed... rigged
Shut up
Stephen Ho Maybe the judges were sick of seeing flip after flip or whip after whip.
***** opal malls
eu sou profosional em BMX e ja sei qual e a sensacao de um vou grande
I live like a few minutes from this and I had no clue this even happened until now! I always miss the coolest stuff.
Mike Hucker Clark with a Inverted 360 Donkey kick! Yesss!!
baldocks run was unreal 84 wtf??? these judges are high on glue

Those were some sick runs
1. Foster
2. Baldock
3. Nyquist (for posterity)
I am sorry for Pat Casey.
R.I.P. 🙏
I really like it thanks for making the best Redbull dream line video
Great event, thanks Red Bull!
Watching this, Baldock became my favorite one. Love his tricks, should have won. very professional guy. No idea how someone who does barspins over and over could beat what Baldock did. What a shitty result
And James Foster
I can sit and watch X games, BMX, and just about every opponent will do very good
redbull i love you
Que gran espectáculo!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌
If your name is Nyquist I guess you win gold no matter how much bigger the other riders are going? 89.6? I get it, the man is a legend. Use to watch him and Hoffman when I was little. They got me to wanna ride but don’t rip off the new talent for the sake of names....bs
I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who thinks the judging was complete and utter bull crap. Baldock and Foster had amazing runs.
im down for those two aswell, this is so wrong
It's Redbullshit but it's really entertaining watching these athletes do what they do...Not so much Nyquist.
Actually made me mad nyquist is garbage send him back to the 90s
Mychal Moser They don't even notice the small details like foster finished his last run with an opposite triple whip and they just said it was a triple whip.
Def no favoritism here... that score they gave Nyquist was def not deserved, esp when James Foster threw that one huge run after Nyquists run abs he only gets like an 85...? Uhhuh
This is what inspired me to do BMX
IMO, Foster should have won this. He had style and originality. The judges should never be allowed to judge a comp again. Throw those announcers in the mix and whoever uploaded this video in interlaced scan while we're at it.
Nyquist is a legend in BMX, there's no questioning that, but Foster should have walked away with this event pretty easily after that last run.
spoiler alert
More full events pls!!!!
I agree more please
there are alot go look at there channel videos
strongly agree
Pa shout out po Gilbert Ardeña i love dis video tnk you 👍💓
that was so dam sick. I cant wait until 2016 x BMX dirt jump competition! Kyle Boldock owned the whole fucking thing!
probably the worst announcing and scoring I've ever witnessed, topkek for this
I wish I could take a mountainboard on a course like that!
That track is fn AWESOME
Respect 🙏
you are awesome
I'm from Brazil and I would like them to put subtitles in Portuguese because many Brazilians watch and in the end many do not understand why it's in English! thanks in advance
Those dudes pounding the bulls. Merica
Ryan has been the best for me for a long time - legend
woy emezing
every 360 downside whip turned to be "decade air" :p
These judges were pathetic. An 89.6 for a few 360's and barspins? and yet Foster and Baldock do almost twice as much as Nyquist and get lower points? Do the judges not see the difficulty in the trick Foster and Baldock do? Majorly Rigged! -.-
Dreams You - as well as pretty much everyone else in the comments section - forgot that trick difficulty was only bullet point number 5 on their list.
yeah but that Nyquists run wasnt clean at all, compared for example to Foster
Baldock has DUI and drug issues. Never gonna get the scores. It's all about image and sponsors. And Nyquist is a legend and still puts down ridiculous runs

"Takes it to a completely nother level" As said by the commentator.
In his defense, he did take it to a whole other level....if it was 1996. I also rode amateur in 1998. Compared to the way children ride today, I sucked. Nyquist has zero style as far as I am concerned.
Anyone notice that the commentators favourite trick 'the decade' never happened once as they were all 360 down whips?
I hope to be as good as them one day! 🤔
what the fuck? 89.6 for that very simple and easy run?
kepong23 For real. After that run, I was like "Well, at least he's still having fun at 35," then I saw the score...
it's clear that that was a biased score from his friends from the judges
kepong23 agreed, that was wack
kepong23 musta liked those green couches on his knees
kepong23 I agree I think they may have just been favoring him for being a biking veteran.
go clark just started watching
If I am wrong correct me, but they don't know their tricks, A "seatgrab no footer" is a cannonball
Wow, nice chemtrail at 10:58

e Munto bom aventura
SO COOL😀😀😀😀
I would've expect redbull going bigger than a track somewhere on a secluded farm....huh!
sickest intro ever
very cool
Was hoping someone would flare of the sharkfin but haven't watched it all yet
baldock and Casey are my guys
pat casey nice ride
amazing
I'm from the US and theres no way Baldock did not win this competition. I literally dont understand the outcome of this event.
baldock as someone from usa.. its hard to see anyone top are peeps but you sr.. fukin own so keep up the good work mate!
Algun dia tendrán y seré aun mas feliz
amazing brother
ė legal de mais assisti red bull
yeah
Just because I wasn’t good at sports and they were all better than me, but now I can see
AWSOME
my uncle used to do this kinda stuff in high school
im glad every body thinks this is bs ... kyle should have had it ryan shouldnt have been on the podium
God I love bmx
este vedeo e irado
+Goes` It was actually a 360 flip from Baldock and a cork 720
Best runs.... (although I am listing my favorite runs, and not my own scoring... the scoring was atrocious)
1) Baldock
2) Baldock
3) Foster
there are 5 factors taken into consideration by the judges, speed, variety, age, financial contribution, and last but not least age..
hopa hopa redbull👍👍👍
I was there and it's in Brevard not Asheville
Mantap
All Fun
MUITO LEGAL ESI EVEMTO VALEL 🌞
nyquist is a legend but i think he just gave buckets of money to the judges
i like
nice
Awsome
Nice
James fosters run was so much better than Ryans
Cool
Asheville!!!!!!!
bueno
Re watching in 2023
rick thorn should do the commentating cos he no's the tricks.
how to you bar spin with brake
That superman seat grab doe
is this some sort of joke?!
baldock shredded that set every time...
Ryan scores highest for hanging up and a couple of barspins...
joke!
A decade and a front flip in the same run, why is Baldock not at 1st?
That win definitely should have gone to Foster or Baldock. Nyquist is good but there's no way he deserved an 89 for that shit. Like wtf did he buy out the judges?
you a better score when doing more on EACH jump
nice intro
i thought baldock would get into first for that 360 back .0.
+ED P for real i can 3flip but not anything like that that was huge
Cannon Willard haha sick bro
p
Ed P 9
Heo
thi is nice
sweet
:):):):):):);) love bmx so much that's my dream bmx
The 360 back flip aws a corj 720
And yes, I can see them make good rides on very good bulls. It’s just when you get a stupid but that doesn’t want to listen.
Commentators are brutal
