alright, so half of you visitors seem to be checking in to see what the hell is up with the japanese olympic snowboarding judge, and why the heck he is giving everyone such low scores. it seems cracked out. he gives some people really low scores, and some people really high scores, and most of the time they are completely opposite of everyone elses scores.
ok, here's the thing, as far as i can tell. he/she was the amplitude judge. this leads me to believe that his scoring is less subjective than the other judges. i bet there is some sort of scale he gives points on, based on how high out of the half pipe the wankers got. so, some dude may have been way out of the pipe, but couldn't do anything once he was out, making his amplitude high, but the rest of his shit low. some of the other guys may have been going for speed, and to get speed, you need to be going more downhill, which means you aren't going to go as high out of the pipe (unless you want to lose speed when you come back down), but you are going farther down, and staying out longer, which means you can do more shit. the overall amplitude is lower though. ok, thats what i think. the world will never know. its kind of like the figureskating debacle. i'm going to boycott it for the rest of the olympics because half of the judges need to be shot. thank you, and good day
