I think they both did a great job. Kyle is so talented it is amazing. I give a slight edge to QQ but to me it was a coin toss. In my view those two guys were standouts amoung a great field of pilots. Jason was great for the short time he flew.

Well said. I know everyone loves to do this, but the ONLY ones whose opinions matter are the judges. Given they flew thee round with 10 judges for each round it is REALLY hard to say that the winner did not deserve his win.

Based on the judging criteria... it was QQ....
Based on my own FreeStyle Criteria... it was Kyle...
Based on Crowd appeal... Kyle!!! (And Jeffry Szueber was killer too)
QQ is the best overall pilot there (IMHO)
However... his freestyle was technically difficult, but looked like a sequence.... lacked a bit of "Art" (IMHO)...
If every stroke of the brush is perfect... it is a picture and not a painting....
Kyle was "painting"

But UltimateJ Woulda kicked all their Arses if he was there!!!!! (OKAY!!! IMHO)

Ya know, I was just reading this thread and looking at the voting results. I want you to look "IN RED" who voted for QQ.

Kyle you my son are a class act, and VERY deserving of the title.

I can't wait to see what you bring to the table next year!

He's pretty smart too. You should have seen him nailing a bunch of MENSA questions a couple of years ago on a different site. This kid is a genius. Well done Kyle and QQ, you guys are awesome.

Just goes to show he is a class act competitor. Much more than some competitors who were trashing his freestyle routine when the contest was still going on. It's one thing for the general public to critique his routine but for another competitor to do so is poor sportsmanship especially when the competition was not over.
