Oh yeah, there was no question what-so-ever when he landed it.

After the first round he was in third place, so when they moved the ramp on his second try, you knew he was going to throw it!

Obviously he did, and after several minutes of nothing but a roar from the crowd, they finally said that only One of the Three judges didn't give him a perfect 100 on the score. He gave him a 98.60, which to me was total BS!! I recorded it and watched it over and over, and "IT WAS PERFECT"!!

I mean, how could anyone critique that jump?? Even the commentators were saying that the judge who didn't give him a perfect 100, should be fired and escorted out of the building!! (I AGREE)

What?! Did he even see the landing? Both wheels touched the ground at the exact same time. Most of the firsts in big jumps and such they guy barely lands it but he made it look easy.

He practices all the time in a foam pit. He has actually done it many times before, just not on dirt until now. He also won the Rally Car races. Very versatile young guy.
