RBSS losing credibility?
« on: Nov 01, 2011, 11:24: AM »
Yo,

I was just thinking, we are in the third season of Red Bull street style now and I was wondering if the competition has lost credibility?

I think it has, simply because it hasn't evolved with freestyle, infact it's got worse. When the competition first came out it was mad exciting, finally a platform that can display freestyle worldwide and guys who put the work in can reap the rewards. Now it feels tired and boring, the balls, the judges etc gives you more to worry and complain about than to be excited about and praise. Even the tricks and styles are becoming a bit tiresome in some aspects, imagine that, a competition where the freestylers adapt to what the sponsor wants instead of the other way round? lol

With comps like Pyrzyce, Prague and WFFCKL coming along since it all begun it seems to me like people who win those will be regarded in a higher respect than the winner of rbss next year.

What does everyone think?

yeah good post

we'll see how it goes this year, imo if somebody really has a problem with rbss - they can just not participate thats it
i think in terms of popularizing the sport its a good thing - but yeah ofc it has a lot of things which should be different

speaking of poor judging - no offense to anyone - i thought there were some really controversial decisions in prague and in kuala lumpur
i wish rbss would hire real freestylers to judge rather than random clowns and footballers

i think sean and azun should be still credited and respected for winning 1st and 2nd rbss

It sucks already, I heard that RB in some of the countries doesn't even care about organizing the qualifications including Hungary as well. The Hungarian RB suggested organizing a video competition as the qualifications, lol. So yeah, I'd say it has lost credibility although the finals still might be good, who knows...

I thought you were a fan of RBSS to some extent because of how many countries it's in?

Anyway I have to disagree with your opinion there, when Sean won he really felt like a deserving champion and had a brilliant final battle with Yosuke. Azun was also a deserving a champion. This time round however I just don't see us seeing many epic battles or even a worthy winner, I'm sceptical to say the least...

It may be the best we have but that doesn't make it credible imo. I agree, I'm not trying to take anything away from the champions.
