aggression has to do w all aspects of your riding...3ft diameter circle compared to a 30ft diameter circle for example. in america we reward going big, especially at big tracks where we have the room. if we did not do this, then everyone would be riding tech in a 100 foot area and that's not that entertaining in person (maybe on the interweb it is). if there is very little risk, there shouldn't be as much reward - 50/50 circles real wide carry the danger of high siding, washing out, etc; whereas 50/50 fig 8's (while technically more difficult) carry very little risk of failure, usually resulting in a stall at worst...both are hard, both score well on difficulty but one is more aggressive than the other.
julien rode really well, only knock is the rear tire skids popping the limiter sounds and may look cool but is really just a bunch of fluff. he def killed it this weekend for sure.
video does no run justice, especially from the angle they were shot - you can't tell depth.
like most of the riders, I just ride and do what i like to do and leave the rest up to the judges, this is why they judge.
and ANY IDIOT who says there's favorites being played is a flat out idiot and liar who doesn't know wtf they are talking about...and i challenge each and every one of those people to put their money where their mouth is and come volunteer their time to judge...based upon the written rules.
there's a reason XDL is not only still around, but is looked to as the world leader in stuntriding organization...to the tune of FIM consulting with XDL for the coming year when Stuntriding will be an officially sanctioned FIM competion.
just a little pre-rant...
