Subject: Judges

well what do you think about Mike White's ride? Did the judges make the right call?

I really like Mike but I think he got away with a touch anyway you look at it. I think a touch/slap is just that.
The judge said it didnt help Mike ride the bull. If this is true then Marchi got screwed over at the finals.

I thought the rule was if any part of the upper body touches/slapes its a DQ...glad Im not a judge. IMO the rule needs to be cut and dry..a rule is a rule...

Let me know your thoughts..we don't have to agree lol

I agree Beckie. It seemed unfair to DQ one and not the other. Weren't there different judges making the calls on the two events?

I do believe that Mighty Mike got lucky on that call, although it really didn't do him any good. And although I am happy for Adriano for winning the finals, I do agree that Marchi got screwed at the finals. I read on another MB where a few people think that the judges scored Justin higher on his short-go ride just because he is Justin. Well personally I think that BS! Justin stayed in shape throughout the entire 8 seconds. And even though Mike Lee had a decent ride, he was out of shape during the first 3 to 4 seconds. What do you all think about this "contraversy"? My thoughts, Justin's talent speaks for itself!!!!!!!! That's why he won the world title in 2005!

Based on the way that I always understood the rule, I think Mike got away with one.

Maybe they have revised the ruling some, since they have instant replay and they can decide whether it was intentional or not........

One thing is for sure though, what goes around, comes around, so I'm sure he either already has or will get DQ'd for a slap that he doesn't make.
