louie lopez definitely deserved a higher spot on the flip obstacle. sure trapasso did the same exact stock tricks everyone else threw down, but he didn't do anything special. louie did a damn front big heel, and there's not even footage. industry favoritism at its' finest. it's like the year trujillo won tampa pro… obviously was crappier than everyone else but everyone was riding his dick at the time so he won.

wow those videos sucked, did you send some rookie intern who doesn't even skate to film/edit this one?
