While thinking of Miki's quad I got to think more about the judging of everyone's quad.
example: A skater attempts a quad and he falls on the quad. a) The Tech Spec calls the jump as having 4 air turns before the fall or b) he calls the jump incomplete 4 air tuns before the fall.
His score for a) is 9 less 1 one for penalty but how does the GoEs fit in? or do they?
His score for b) is 4 (downgraded) and then -1 for overrotation and then -1 penalty. for the fall.
How powerful the Tech Spec is!
It seems to me that the risk of making 4 air turns is just about worth taking. However, for me, in the esthetic sense, it looks more like sloppy skating being rewarded. Agree?
