Lower competition for the untrained eye is very borring and look all the same... and most of the worlds population dont freestyle... So the way to get it popular is with variaton of tricks (allround)...
That goes for other styles aswell... Tbh when 30 japanees guys does nori clutch, its also abit repetitive ;)
Its a pro league... not one event, and it will compete with rbss next year i belive...
I dont think lowers look more boring than many other populars sports like athletics, weightlifting, racing etc.. I agree that allround looks much more attractive and interesting for non-freestylers, but this is more art than sport, because the idea of sport is showing the best physical and technical achievements of human body, many sports look ugly, but they still are popular because people are interested to watch at things which take many years of trainings..
Luki, sick3 competition is nothing compared to allround battles. This competition doesnt show the level of lowers, because 3 hard tricks combo = 5% of whole level. Its so unfair, Fx spend 5 years on learning 150+ tricks combos, but it would never help him to win some big competition.
Sorry for my annoying post, i just share my feelings.
