Not just Adam. Some of the drivers that are not as consistent (Adam, Rad Dan, Kyle Mohan, Matsuyama ect.) get tougher judging when they go up against a top 4 sort of guy in 32. Obviously FD doesnt want someone randomly going beast mode and disrupting the championship points leaders in 32, so anyone facing Odi\Chelsea\Osbo\Field has to be so perfect there's no way the judges could vote against them.

Even with both incompletes in the chase, the contact caused you to not be able to finish your lead run even if it was only 20 feet from the finish line. The judges explanation "if Adam would have been able to finish his lead run it still wouldn't have been as good as Odi" was bullshit in my opinion.

@@Matty.Hill_87 I don’t think it’s that at all the judges want to put the best show possible forward and they know the best drivers up top will do that, whenever one of the lower drivers gets to the top 8 they make a major mistake but the big issue is this is because the judges never let the lower competitors get higher so they don’t have enough practice with the top end competition and get psyched out because of lack of experience at top level competition it’s a vicious circle. Having bullshit sponsor politics happen to me in Australia I know exactly how it feels. You need to be a really kick arse driver and show some consistent performance for the judges to start to let you have some ‘favouritism’ like Dylan Hughes is doing atm. Or you’re right and they think more about putting the more big sponsor cars forward rather than the true winnner and because they do that those drivers are the good ones because they get all the top level experience. Either way I do feel a lot of bias in the judging decisions, I think the judges have a lot of pressure and a lot of hard calls to make but the reason they make the calls they do is have good intention behind them they think a lot about why the cars got into the position they are, alas they seem to make these calls fit what they want to be the case to put the top drivers through more often than seems right. Judging and it’s foibles and the comp politics is what got me to leave the competitive scene in Australia in the end, at least it ruined the love for me and there is no money in just drifting for fun. Lack of money, debt and many other factors have kept me away from driving ever since. I still really miss it sometimes though.

Not just Adam. Some of the drivers that are not as consistent (Adam, Rad Dan, Kyle Mohan, Matsuyama ect.) get tougher judging when they go up against a top 4 sort of guy in 32. Obviously FD doesnt want someone randomly going beast mode and disrupting the championship points leaders in 32, so anyone facing Odi\Chelsea\Osbo\Field has to be so perfect there's no way the judges could vote against them.

Even with both incompletes in the chase, the contact caused you to not be able to finish your lead run even if it was only 20 feet from the finish line.

@@Matty.Hill_87 I don’t think it’s that at all the judges want to put the best show possible forward and they know the best drivers up top will do that, whenever one of the lower drivers gets to the top 8 they make a major mistake but the big issue is this is because the judges never let the lower competitors get higher so they don’t have enough practice with the top end competition and get psyched out because of lack of experience at top level competition it’s a vicious circle. Having bullshit sponsor politics happen to me in Australia I know exactly how it feels. You need to be a really kick arse driver and show some consistent performance for the judges to start to let you have some ‘favouritism’ like Dylan Hughes is doing atm. Or you’re right and they think more about putting the more big sponsor cars forward rather than the true winnner and because they do that those drivers are the good ones because they get all the top level experience. Either way I do feel a lot of bias in the judging decisions, I think the judges have a lot of pressure and a lot of hard calls to make but the reason they make the calls they do is have good intention behind them they think a lot about why the cars got into the position they are, alas they seem to make these calls fit what they want to be the case to put the top drivers through more often than seems right. Judging and it’s foibles and the comp politics is what got me to leave the competitive scene in Australia in the end, at least it ruined the love for me and there is no money in just drifting for fun. Lack of money, debt and many other factors have kept me away from driving ever since. I still really miss it sometimes though.

But you have a great attitude about it and it’s one of the reasons why you’re a great driver. Keep up the great work!
Made it in the video! :) The parade was hilarious, my mom was out infront trying to get good video for my nephew and was so confused by all the people on bikes. I just laughed and said they're with the lead drift car. For your first time on the track I think you did awesome! It was very unfortunate that the judges were not paying as much attention to all the details as they should be.. A lot of rough calls imo. But I'm glad Vaughn came over to confirm with you about their knowledge of the ruling, it's ridiculous the "new" rules aren't mentioned every event just so they're known to all the drivers/spotters. Also Mike, great footage as always! It was very nice to meet you, thanks for the picture! Hope you get some chill time at some point hah!
It was sick getting to meet you and the team! Had a great time in Long Beach, thanks for taking the time to show love to all the fans after the event!
Love how our boy's car is always front and center on any advertisments/media posts but they shaft him whenever they have the chance.. lets go grip racing soon plz
Love to see you still ride a little !
LOVE THE FOOTCAM! And the footwork!
Gotta love seeing Bert in the videos once in awhile!

I comment this all the time & I don't care. You one of the cleanest, if not the cleanest rides on the FD tour. Absolutely beautiful machine, a freakin work of art. Props to the Lzmfg team!🔥💪💰
Dang man that sucks you were really rocking this track! Looks like it was a good weekend though glad y'all had fun!
It's the fact they say 3 wheels off just like Dai yet you get a different result, then Odi gets an incomplete chase. Just crazy honestly.
Great event. Just so you know the crowd wasn't happy with them not putting you through to top 16
insane Video!! love it! the sound of that Engine is insane!!!!
You gotta appreciate the effort these videos take🔥
This track is the most enjoyable fd track to watch imo, that's partailly due to the changes of grip because i find it interesting to see how different drivers handle grip loss/gain, and also allows for a avriety of different car setups to do better in one section and worse in the other
U did a good job ( publicly ) handing this disappointment. Leave it at the tract and come back next yr to get ur revenge. Keep doin u.

In my opinion it will just continue happening. It needs to be called out inside the race, and not after when cameras are off, and FD can just flip you off lol. Again, my opinion.
I have to say your sportsmanship should be commended Adam congratulations either way your killing it !!!
Should join the FiA league with Dean, Piotr, and Bluss, it'll be way more fair 🤣

Michael Massi prob hired these judges😂
Can they judge on lead vs lead when you spun before the finish line. That’s like comparing lap times when one guy has done half a lap and the other guy has a full lap. Of course the guy with half a lap is faster. Just doesn’t work
Been waiting for this video wanna hear it from ur side
Good to see FD Long Beach back in action. Weird timing this year but cant wait to be there next! :D
Great driving Adam! Shame it wasn't called as at least a one more time but on the plus side you looked way more confident and in touch with your car and driving than ever so keep up the good work!

Ye problem is that now its become the old guard vs the new guard, the older guys hate people that like LZ (they find us, annoying, and in some cases they are correct, LZ has a lot of younger fans that can be pretty grating at times), and we hate them for not accepting us.... And then theres people like me who started off watching LZ and have since branched out but still enjoy watching FD and supporting the person that got us into drifting....

@@griffins750 yeh pretty much the old vs new situation. im pretty sure if anything LZ been getting mroe hate after his very first round in fd as a pro. since then it just excalated. even aparently them 'none toxic' fd fans dont approve texas where adam got into top 4. aparently thats nothing but thats like quite a big achievement for a rookie in the pro class
This was probably my favorite FD video. Driving was sick and Mike killed the recording and edit. 10/10
I thought OMT for sure! Either way, good job out there. You and the car looked really good
I’m starting to notice a trend with you Adam, you let your nerves get the best of you every time. We know you’re an amazing driver, but just try to go out there and have some fun! Stop thinking “I’m out here with the big dogs and they are gonna bite me” or whatever. Just have fun like you do on the practice runs!
Robbed 😂very mature response to the judges verdict though Adam well done 👍
That was still sick af. Nice drivingg Adam. 🙂 I know with all the pressure it aint easy to have the most effortless run with such tough competitors and crazy fast rides, nice work thoo. Looked fire.
Besides the controversy, the video espiy in the beginning seemed like a such a vibe, mucking around long beach with your friends, BMX'ing around, Cruising around in your cars
I feel like i need to see Adam in a mustang for fd, that are so competitive and a proven chassis vs Adams struggle with the s15 Would be even cooler if the barra was in the drift car
How can they compare the lead runs when your lead run was basically incompleted by the chase driver?

This is why FD is so frowned upon by the grassroots scene. Any “pro” sport ultimately becomes a cash grab, biased circus for spectators instead of just driving and sending it with the boys… I’ll never understand FD and I don’t want to. I do feel for Adam tho, and I wish they had called it without playing favorites
Always improving in FD. Video content great as always
You made me a fan of drifting at 59yo, coming from the drag racing world where the clock determines the winner. I understand "hitting the marks" in the zones, clips, etc., but the "judging" aspect reminds me a lot of figure skating and gymnastics, sometimes they love you... sometimes they don't. Still, love to watch you drive, your attitude and your videos, especially when you show the "footwork" involved.
Great job regardless Lz it’s tough getting odi in top 32
Can you program the under glow to match the wrap?
Well done Adam, keep your head up and keep striving. Your my and many others idol.
Stoked to see Robert 🤙
“WE LOVE U ADAM” Also screw the guy that stole my tshirt when Adam threw it to me
Keep pushing Adam, many more competitions out there also, where the judges don’t judge like this sh*t. (Excuse my language kids).
Man, the bar spin with cop lights is dope!
Good to see the OG bmx content again
That’s BS, Odi caused you to DNF on your lead run since he caused you to straighten so they shouldn’t base the win off of comparing lead runs since Odi made your lead a 0
I think Adam needs to get to the finals and that will give him confidence
2022 Year of the Podium! Keep killing it!
Makes me so happy that Adam is back into bmx now
Although Adam was very shallow the entire weekend on the touch and go zones, I still feel this should have been a OMT
@LordPodlington
2 жыл бұрын
It should have. Even factoring in both incompletes on chase runs, only one of them hit the other in a decel zone. Odi's lead was an awful lot better though, so OMT would've made sense.
I love the spirit of adam tho “it would be a shit way to win but cool to keep on driving”
great video, was good to see you back on the bmx. the judges call should have been a one more time as i think it was to close to call their and then.
Still proud I know your time is coming you’re still new as a pro but your runs are getting stronger and stronger. Keep on going you are living a lot of our dreams💪🏽❤️🧡💛
