zach you got my vote! But great riding, both of you !

[Batteriknutte]

Zach, no doubt at all. Variated and clean, as it should be!

[Emile.m]

Eli had had better riding.
Zach had more flow, better filming and editing.

My vote goes to Zach.

[UniKid2]

Eli: Riding was top notch, But as Emile said, The Flow wasnt there..

As for Zach: You made a very enjoyable artsy movie with flow, without the tricks...

I will let you see for yourselves for whom I voted for.

Eli Brill:

Riding: ★★★★
Filming: ★★
Editing: ★★
Music: ★★★★

Zachary Wenner:

Riding: ★★★
Filming: ★★★★★
Editing: ★★★★
Music: ★★★

I liked both so I don't think I'll vote. I liked Eli's riding better, but Zachary's filming and editing. So it's tough .. both very good though.

I feel the same as Isaac, except I feel the flow was more important since they were both good riding.

My vote goes Zach.

I liked Eli's editing, and his skills at unispin and crank flip are amazing.
But Zacks long lines suite his creative and varied skills. I particularly enjoy seeing a skillful skinny, such as the low one that Zack does a 180 on.
Zack's crank flip and unispin aren't quite as impressive as Eli's, but he shows impressive gaps, balance, and one move I hadn't seen before... the unispin backwards off the curb.
Both are great riders, so its hard to vote, but I'll give Zack the edge.

Errr, there was some very good trick in there...like the varial doubleflip wich was awesome.

[UniKid2]

But if you compare it to Eli...

[Pat Lally]

varialdouble vs. treydouble

I think treydouble is more impressive IMO

[peleschramm]

I voted Eli.

I liked both vids though. Zach's one footer down the set was pretty sweet.

Eli just had better tricks, and was simply more entertaining for me.

[Adder172]

zach because of more interesting lines, more variety and the 180 skinny

its a shame that i have to turn on somone (eli) with a green rim

[justtysen]

As a callout video it seems to me that the goal is to outdo the caller. Eli definitely seemed focused on difficultly of tricks and so I'll assume he was calling out Zach's trick riding skills. In that regard I don't think Zach matched him. However this thread is about "vot[ing], compar[ing] and discuss[ing] or whatever" and so not strictly about who may have won.

...and he timed it to the lyric "about face" which gets him quirk points.
