FIRST RUNS

About two minutes to show time and it looks like I am actually able to connect here live.  For those who are following along with the game, welcome!  Not being one to offer much in the way of updates recently, we'll see how many people show up.  This will be a REGULAR occurrence for the next few days as the Games go down.

Once again the scene is setup indoors with virtually the identical setup as last year.  A roll into a four pack on one side into a SECOND roll-in where the riders turn around and bolt into a 6 pack.  Not sure where they will start from - looks like the 6 pack to the four pack.

Geez!  Have they started already?  I may be missing some stuff as I work on this damn Internet connection.  Oh well.  I will get in tune in time for finals (hopefully).

Mark Kehl just went through his first run and I totally missed it.  But a 79.60 was the score good work me.

A baker is up a tailwhip to x up on the second with a double truck on the third jump.  Pulled clean, but not really pushing it high.  Second run through up and x to 360 turndown to x-up - nice.  Clean, but nothing super fancy or new for the crowd...  a very quiet crowd.  86.00 - Much improved over Mark.

Next up C. Bohan - man big lookdown loop and a double no-footed can-can. Next set up it's a one -handed x-up and then a big indian air.  A good run, maybe a little bigger than Adam in the last round or so I though...  82.60.  I wish they would use first names here - I don't know any dirt jumpers.

R. Noirot?  Drops to a one handed superman to wow, nothing done on the next two jumps, a serious screwup on his part.  Now a one-hander then a BIG 360 whip to - oh shit!  Hard bail and limping away, hope he is alright.  The score for him is a 69.40 fourth.

How many runs will they be doing for dirt qualifiers?  Well, hopefully you all like to read because there is a lot more to go I would think...

Let's see who's next hmmm...  Foster - No footed can to a 360 and the a 360 turndown on the last set.  He just flows.  Now a big turndown transfer and a HUGE 360.  Wow, that was some originality in an otherwise mundane setup of jumps.  Good to see someone pushing it.  Into first place with an 87.40

I'm trying to keep the placing list in order as we go, but this isn't exactly a spreadsheet - just HTML.  Sorry if things look screwy, but the scores are right.

Riding for Huffy we have ummm....  wait.  No?  Yes, Tim (Fuzzy) Hall who goes down then changed his mind.  Weird.  Okay, now he may be ready... or not?  So exciting.  ;o)  Here we go!  360 then 360 can-can and then a nice barspin.  Not really pushing it.  Second set a one handed flattie and a flattie on the last set.  We shall see.  A 78.20 will probably not be enough to get him into the finals.  Another couple of runs may help though!

Kris Bennett is up next.  23 years old from Philly.  A local boy is getting the crowd going.  No hander then a 360 x-up now a 360 x-up the opposite direction.  Sweet!  He has some great flow through the jumps.  Second set is a turndown then a nothing to a turndown.  Wow, that was fun to watch.  A good run.  Color him first with an 87.80 - wow.

Up next we have Colin Mackay from Greenville, NC.  Another 23 year old.  6 feet tall... damn.  no footer to turndown then a tailwhip to x-up and a big 360.  A x-up the other way then a big double truck driver.  The big boys are all getting ready to flow through their lines right now and the level is definitely going up.  3rd place, well deserved.  Someone come type for me please?

Alright, a few seconds of a break and we will now have Paul Kintner.  22 Years old out of Salem Oregon.  170 pounds... why do they give us this info?  A 360 lookback then a 360 x-up now a 360 the opposite way.  Do dirt jumpers have something against grinding I don't see any pegs?  A big transfer turndown to a double lookback on the last set.  Judges liked that a lot.  87.40

Cory Nastazio comes up next.  Ever heard of him?  They are listing his sponsors so I think we have some time to breathe.  Unlike everyone else - he has no stats... wait.  24, 5'11" 160 pounds Riverside, CA - now go stalk him.  He's just chillin' on the top of the ramp - boom 360 2nd bar spin then a nice whip.  Second run, x-up now a big one handed x-up backflip (yes that was one trick).  He goes kind of big.

That wraps up the first ten and the next ten are doing a quick chain session to reacquaint themselves with the jumps.

Next rider comin' at ya is Scott Wirch who hits a big 360 then a huge nothing a finally a nice whip.  The second set holds a loop then a big 360 turndown.  His stuff is just so big it is hard to describe.  I think you would enjoy this most just sitting at the base of the dirt jumps looking up at it....  So why aren't you here?  These events are free!  82.60?  If the judges say so, he went way bigger then some of the other guys...  but I'm not judging so whatever.

Anyone have some Advil?  I'm getting a headache sitting here listening to the crap music they are playing.

Okay, here comes Todd Walkowiak.  No hander old school to a bar spin to a no footer (same jump) then a nice barspin.  Not bad for the 2 year old from PA.  A nice turndown and 360 x-up finish things off for his first run.  The seventh place spot is his for right now.  Not bad...  but probably not enough with Nyquist coming up and some other VERY big guns.  (Lavin?)

Chris Gerber is up next, another rider I've never heard of in my flatland world.  Warsaw Indiana and 20 years old an x-up to a 360 on jump 2 to a barspin on the last one.  Not much...  This boy is good but not enough.  a X-up to turndown and a nice tailwhip.  But, the tailwhip was it.  A single big trick won't be enough for him to make it onto the podium here...  maybe not even enough to make it to the finals.  Definitely not with a 11th place 78.00.  Gotta step it up here.

People should keep in mind when you see the second place guy pissed off that if he did slightly better he would have WON about $5,000.00 more and

Stephen McCann is our next rider.  Big name?  Maybe not, but soon...  360 barspin and a double barspin with a grab in the middle.  Damn... missed a trick.  I'll type faster.  A hugh loop to a big no-hander over the last set.  You gotta be psyched when you are placed ahead of Nastazio after your first run though.  No promises with more runs coming up.

Wow, this is taking a long time!

Allan Cooke is about to blow everyone away...  Okay, that's just a guess but he's kind of good I would say.  20 years old and 160 pounds.  Small guy with mad skills.  The green of Mt. Dew and a huge loop turndown to a whip and then a big 360.  He's throwing so much more in though...  A BIG flip barspin and then a fully extended superman seatgrab.  That was one of the first and biggest that we shall see tonite.  ON TOP OF THE SCORING...  Good guess me.  :o)

The difference between watching really, REALLY good riders and just the really good riders is so obvious it is amazing.  It's not just one trick, it's every trick done just a little bit higher, a little bit further and with a little bit more style.  It flattens you with how they are just obviously better than the others in the run.

Of course, they put Allan, Chris, Ryan, and TJ all back-to-back.

Chris Doyle:  x-up 360 tailwhip - biff!  WHAT?  That was BIFF!!!  A slam on the whip landing.  Color him last place.  I'm sure he's bummed.  With two more runs (this story will be WAY long!) he has a chance to recover.  But, I think that they take the top two runs, so he will have to hit it all perfect from here on out.

Mike Parenti is up next.  An X-Games newcomer he has to be happy just to be here.  But does he have the stuff he needs?  He rolls down the starting ramp flip x-up and a 360 finally a whip on the third set.  Second setup hughe flip and a nice superman seat grab coming down a little bit short but still pulling it clean enough to ride away.  He should do pretty well...  Ninth place?  I thought a little better... but okay.

Three riders are left on top of the hill - all of them were medalists from last year - any guesses?

TJ Lavin is the first one to come up.  Riding his red Specialized (quality?) bike.  Whatever the case, he already has 2 gold medals from X-Games and he wants more.  Las Vegas living 25 year old 160 pound kid.  Loop to a barspin and a xup (same air) and a tailwhip on the last set.  Is he getting old?  Second set, BIG superman seat grab and a one-handed no-footed can-can.  No, he's not getting old, he's just warming up.  85.80 for the first run.  I'm glad I'm not a judge cuz' I've got no idea how they keep track of 20 riders and three runs.

So, it's time for Ryan to make his jab for the Gold medal.  A definite favorite after winning the HSA title for the year.  23 years old from Greenville NC.  5'6" - A midget?  Who let the midget in.  (Just kidding I'm only 5'8" - and I can't flip... or 360)  The crowd actually made a little bit of noise, let's see how he starts...  A fan holds up a Nyquist poster that ESPN provided to them (what?).  Whatever.  A loop barspin a rocket air barspin then a 360 one-handed x-up (I think).  Whoa!  Nice backflip... to manual?  In dirt?  Not intentional!  But pulled then a final barspin to finish it all off.  Disappointment.  Yet STILL he's in first.  Wow.

For those who may wish to complain because I miss the first trick on the second set of jumps it's because they have some stupid 'X' hanging from the ceiling right in my point of view.  Nothing I can do about it, but I am trying to catch the trick up on the Jumbotron.  Maybe I see it...  maybe I don't.

Stephen Murray is the last rider up.  A billion sponsors long and another double backflip in his pocket?  We shall see.  Only 22 years old from Riverside, CA.  He's all set and drops down the starting ramp.  Boom!  Loop to turndown 360 and a nice nothing on the last jump.  Big, but it looks like warm-up to him, not the real stuff.  Back in to a backflip turndown and a 360 at the end to finish off his first set.  You know he is going to qualify, but how high will his score be and will he be good enough to take down Nyquist who has his mind set on Gold and ONLY Gold.  Not enough from the first qualifying run with a 84.60.

SECOND RUNS

The first 20 are in line and they are giving me 60 seconds to actually think...  Hopefully I will get a little more time then that.  If you are going to be looking for some pictures I will be trying to get about 20 pictures up in the PHOTO GALLERY in about 30 minutes after the event is over.  There is some formatting and stuff that I need to do to get them and BMXTRIX photographer (Pieter Possenier) has to get himself up here before it will all be possible to even begin.  Keep your fingers crossed on some good photos today.  But, there will definitely be some good stuff coming this weekend!  The goal is to choose about 20-40 photos PER DAY - PER EVENT to show.  

Well, let me do Mark Kehl justice on his second run since I was so bad about missing his run the first time through (sucks to go first man!).  Should I go get a drink instead?  No, I will go AFTER his run...  Things are so slow here trying to get runs started.  Backflip x-up, barspin to x-up and a nice 360.  A setup air on the second set first jump then HOLY SHIT!!! SEVEN TWO OH - Perfect 720 on the biggest set in the house.  Wow! Wonder what he did in his first run?  Damn.  Kick ass Mark!  An 87.40 averages out to move him up to 13th place.  Much improved!!!  One more like that and he'll be in the finals I'm sure.

Backflip and a HUGE 360 whip on the second jump.  Recovery air and a setup on the second set to a ...  tailwhip.   Not much that will move him up for Adam Baker.  It was really nice, but it didn't all flow together throughout.  Maybe the one big trick is enough.

C.  Bohan is up again with a loop and a 360 flatty then a 360 flattie the other way - slides out!  What?  He's down for now, but back up to the top of the second roll-in.  Two roll ins, isn't that special?  Big backflip then a barspin to a no-footer on the final jump.  He went down though, not a good thing to do in ANY contest - especially here.

No footer then a bailout right away from R. Noirot.  What is his name anyway?  Why don't they put it up?  He's from France so that might help explain my ignorance.  Sigh.  Not good though - He stays in 19th place with no scores really good enough to move him into the finals.  Think he will stop competing now?  HA!  Just kidding, Im' sure he's just happy to have this chance once in his life.

Brian Foster is coming in again. Giving me just a second...  a 360 flattie then a no-footer turndown and a big lookback.  Geez... I think.  A flattie then a nice 360 turndown.  He's got some mad flowage, but his tricks aren't nearly as big as some of the other guys.  We shall see what the judges say.  He drops only one place to the #5 spot and looks set to make the finals.

Fuzzy is up again and I'm sure he's looking to improve a big 3650 and then... well a 360 barspin on the last set.  But nothing in between isn't good here.  A big 360 and a one handed, one footed flattie on the last set.  He simply doesn't have the tricks to propel him into the finals with the top riders. 17th place is where he remains.

 Kris is up again with a nice no-phander and a nothing on the second then a 360 lookdown on the last of the first 6 pack in the series.  He works his way to the top (slowly?).  Last set, a turndwond and a nice no-hander one-footer to a turndown on the last set.  Big and smooth with old-school no-handers a cool to see.  He holds onto the third place spot and it looks like he will make it to the finals unless some people really step things up below him.  Not likely.

Colin Mackay went through the stuff...  No wait, the signs were weird.  Okay.  Colin hits a hugh loop then a no-footed can-can with serious tweakage.  Then a no-handed 360 to finish off the first 3.  Second set a turndown and a nice x-up to turndown 360 (one trick).  Okay, some skills are definitely present here!  Tied for third he has definitely stepped things up.

I need a list of the order these guys ride in..  Okay, Paul is up again, I can remember THAT name...  Why haven't I heard of some of these guys and what's with the funky lights here in the arena?  Ah well, a 360 x-up starts then a 360 on the second set to a 360 the other way.  No feeble, no manual, just air!  A BIG 360 and finally a superman x-up.  I don't think it's enough, but that superman x-up was definitely cool.  That run drops him down one spot.  Just a little more variety then big 360's I think are required.  Learn from Ryan (barspin) Nyquist!

Nastazio is up again and I would say he is looking to improve a little from #9.  The announcer tries to get the crowd amped as Cory looks bored up on the starting deck.  Gotta get amped for this type of event and I'm not sure he is.  A minute later (commercial break?) the announcer tries again, and Cory still looks bored.  What's up with that?  Okay, he drops in and starts with a loop x-up and then ...  blech, finally a 360 turndown on the last set.  That no-trick air in between will hurt.  A big flip and a huge superman seatgrab (you've seen the pictures right?) on the last set.  It's big, but with five jumps available and tricks done on only four, it won't do much to help his overall score.  Not a damn thing as he stays in 9th place.  Like I said, gotta step it up here.

Scott just dropped without an intro to screw me up and he threw down some nice 360 variations in a couple of tricks.  Second set...  Huge flip x-up and a 360 barspin to no-footer (yes one trick) that was really big.  That was  a really good set it looked like.  That moves him up to 12th spot, a big jump, especially with one more jump to go.

Todd does an x-up and a 360 x-up one direction to a 360 x-up the other direction.  Smooth.  Second set is a x-up to x-upt the other way and a truck driver on the last set.  Todd's stuff is just not as big as the other guys... but maybe a little more tech.  Enough tech that he moved up a spot!  Number 11 (tie)

Gerber does a nice loop to an x-up on the second set and a tailwhip on the third.  Barely threw that x-up on the second, but better than nothing.  A no-hander to x-up and finally a superman on the final jump.  Gerber really put some good stuff together, but not as much style as the big guns I would say.  Not enough to change his position overall with that score.  Lame.

ESPN tries to make this as boring as possible I think.  Slow and lots of time between riders.  I need a nap.

360 to a no-hander to a x-up and then a double barspin on the next set.  McCann can really throw down some nice tricks.  How often can I say that?  Second set of jumps, a flip no-hander and a little bit off on the landing means no last jump.  Definitely a fuck up for the score.  Wow, a drop from 7th to 15th...  That's gotta hurt!  He has room to make it up though.

Allan Cooke is up again and in second place he has to do incredible to get ahead of Nyquist who may be paying off judges... I doubt it though with the variety, height and skill he is throwing down you jealous fools.  But a one-footed x-up flip and a nothing to seatgrab to follow with a nice 360 at the end.  Second set, a x-up setup to a no-footed can-can nothing.  BOOM!  (here comes the) - That was interesting to say the least.  His average sits at 89.00 and his position doesn't move.  I would say that he is going to make the finals... what do you think?

Doyle has a chance to really make up for his first run -  a 360 x-u then the tailwhip and a turndown 360.  Clean and big - just like we expect from Chris.  Second set, a turndown and a final double truck to finish things off.  I think this may help his score some...  oh, just a little.  89.00 moves him up 1 (one?) spot.  His final run should be clean and put him in the finals I would expect.

Parenti is up again with a loop x-up and a barspin to x-up the other way then a suicide 360 to finsih off the first set of jumps.  A loop x-up and adouble truck to dirt - that is eating dirt.  Ouch.  He didn't go down that hard but over rotated the double truck.  HOW is that even possible.  Mad skills, we will see him again.  He drops one spot to 15.

Next up is TJ who everyone seems to like by the appluase.  A 360 one hader lookback and a barspin then a truck driver over the last set.  Second run through brings us a nice 360 x-up and finally a huge superman no-hander (nothing).  That was much better than his first run I would say and may move him up some.  Up 2 spots to number 5.  He definitely deserved that with much more flow.

Ryan is up again and the judges are feeling broke with no payoffs.  A huge one handed x-up loop and a big no-footed can-can now a double truck driver.  A quick setup into the seoncd set and a hugh loop to a 360 barspin to wipeout.  That'll bring him down some...  maybe a lot.  A guess... okay - 85 or 84 as the score anything higher and the judges have fatter pockets then they like to admit.  80.20 brings his average down to 85.90 and SEVENTH place.  Yes, his first run was that good, yes his second run was that bad.  Ouch.

The last run of the second round is about to drop and Stephen is looking very seriously at the jumps.  10th place puts him on the edge of qualifying after gold last year.  A screw up could put him out for good.  He drops and a no-handed flip to a x-up no-footer and a x-up 360 on the last set to a long climb up the second ramp.  He drops again and hits a loop to a 360 on the last set.  This doesn't look like the same guy who won last year.  Hopefully he's just teasing us and is going to haul off on the last set of runs for the night.  He stays where he is in 10th spot and is about to lose his qualifying if others step things up some.

THIRD RUNS

If you don't know this is the set of runs where guys who fell early on in competition will make HUGE leaps from 10th to 5th or for Chris probably a jump from #19 to about #8 or better.  He has the skills and he will improve.  If he does it then Murray will be out of the finals...  Think about it.

In the break there is a gunshot on the floor...  No wait, one of the riders just blew out a tube.  Man, that has GOT to suck.  Go fix it, make it all better, then ride again at the end - if they let you.

Mark is on top of the roll-in and heads down for his 3rd and final run.  He blew me away before and a nice 460 x to a no-hander to x-up and then a no-footed can-can to x-up.  He likes them don't he?  Second set is a huge loop no-hander then a 360  lookback.  He gets some props from the sidelines and heads on out as the judges tally the score.  Tied for fourth he is IN - if the others don't want it more.  A big jump from 13th though.

Adam hits a nice invert but then blows a 360 tailwhip.  He needed that desperately...  He walks away clean, but his run is over.  He stays in the 10 spot, but that won't last for long with that run dumped.

Nice loop then a barspin and a decade on the last set - to some serious dirt in the mouth.  That may have hurt but he is walking up the second roll-in to finish off his run.  Two roll ins really help some of these guys.  Second set is a huge loop then a nice tailwhip to finish it all off.  That may move him up  some but maybe not enough.  He shouldn't have fallen on that decade tailwhip... thing he tried.  80.10... doesn't really help.

Foster drops for his final run - 360 and a 360 flattie to a 360 turndown on the last set.  Back to back to back 360's won't do it though.  Another 360 then a no-footed can-can to turndown.  He is an incredible rider, and an 87.40 moves him up to #4, he will definitely be in the finals unless something weird happens here.

Fuzzy hits a 360 then a 360 can-can to a x-up on the final jump.  Not his biggest set ever.  Second run is a big 360 and he finishes it off with a 720 that he leans back to far on and loops out.  He's alright but Tim is probably not in the finals this year.  He stays in the #17 spot.

Kris drops and a no hander to turndown thea 360 x-up and a 360 the other way start things off.  He heads up the second hill and looks down at the jumps drying his hands...  He hists a setup and finally a no-footed seat grab to no-footed can-can.  He will be in the finals for sure.  Tied for 2nd place - no-change.

Mackay drops and starts with a loop then a 360 toa  HUGE bail.  Damn would be what I would be saying... over and over again.  He is heading back up the second starting hill, but it won't help.  A turndown and a big superman seat grab.  A great way to finish it off.  He didn't need it though.  This low score will be dropped as he is almost definitely in the finals.

For those from BMX Board - WELCOME and thanks for coming.  We will be doing this for every indoor event as often as possible and the outdoor stuff I will be doing then uploading immediately after the runs are over.

Paul is up with a 360 x-up to a 360 then another 360.  Kintenr is copying Foster I would say and he won't do NEARLY as well I bet.  Okay, a 360 lookback and a crazy ass superman to nut landing.  He didn't die, but it won't be a super score I would bet.  Yeah, 78.60 is his low score for the event and he stays in the 7 spot.  Not to bad, but I would worry for sure.  What's up with Foster doing 5 360's and getting an 87 then Paul does 5 and gets a 78....  hmmm...  Crack would be my guess.  (ah well, I guess they try).

Nastazio drops again for the last time, a loop to begin thhen nothing on the second (not a nothing, just nothing).  A superman on the last set and up to the top of the second roll in.  He comes back in and hits a x-up then a huge, huge, huge whip 360 to a slideout at the end.  A little dirt will not help him do better.  77.60 - guess what!  We will throw THAT score out won't we.

Next up we have Scott Wirch who is trying desperately to make the finals.  From 13 he won't do it unless he scores a really good run.  He looks down with some concern on his face...  he drops.  A 360 flattie to a nothing to no-footed can (one air) and a tailwhip finish off the first set.  Second set consists of a loop no-hander and a very solid 360 barspin.  Big, big, big - he is really happy and he should score well with that run.  Qualify???  He moves up to EIGHTH place and has a chance to stay in the top ten!!! Word.

Next up:  Todd who hits a nice flip to a tailwhip and a 360 x-up on the first jumps.  Next set:  A turndown and a x-up rocket.  It was good, but not enough I am betting.   No better than his first run... he's out.

I breathe for a moment before Chris Gerber drops in...

A loop to begin and a setup air to a good whip...  but not that big.  He comes down on the other side and immediately blasts a setup air and....  arggghhhh!!!  a dead sailor.  Chris is done with only a 73.00 - judges are getting harsh here at the end.

Watch out here comes the last run for McCann who hits a 360 one hander then a barspin to x-up and a 360 xup on the last set.  I try not to be too repetitive but they like that trick!  A 360 and a tailwhip finish things off...  Steven is not finished off for the Games with a score that moves him up into tenth... can he hold it though?

Seven riders left to go and some people are definitely in the finals including Allan Cooke...  But Ryan in sitting on thin ice in 9th place and Murray OUT???  Gotta step it up!

Allan drops for a fun run which he will probably go at balls out.  A flip then a nothing and a whip on the last set.  Damn is he good.  He drops the other side and starts with a turndown and a truckdriver to a no-footer.  Whatever - he's already in, so let's put some icing on that cake eh?  His position won't change, but his score could go up even more.  He looks to the board and smiles as the score of 87.60 comes up, he remains solidly in first and his smile gets only bigger.

Doyle...  the bomb is about to jump well out of the nineteenth position here I would bet.  Like to #6 or maybe even better...  but first his run.  360 to a 360 x-up the a 360 barspin.  Solid, solid, solid.  Just what he needs.  Second set of jumps begins with a big turndown then a turndown 360.  Not his best stuff for sure, but way beyond solid.  He is moving WAY up....  SECOND PLACE FROM NINETEEN!!!  Big, big, big I say.

Parenti goes down hard on his second jump and it's over for him for the day.  Well out of the finals buy he had fun.

TJ drops for the last time and hits a nice 360 another 360 and a 360 barspin to x-up.  Cool.  Second set, he drops, a x-up and there is the whip 36 OHHHH.....  hard, he goes down really, really, REALLY hard.  He is helped to his feet, and walks away.  Not pretty though.  He will stick with his other scores.

Nyquist and Murray left - one of them may NOT be going to be in the finals!!!  He doesn't need perfection, but Ryan needs to do well if he wants to move up. Under pressure Ryan drops and hits the lop then a no-footed can and a truckdriver on the first set of jumps.  He goes to the top and looks down quick - a barspin and a anice no-footed can-can nothing.  That was it, color Ryan back in the top scorers for the day... first place though?  Probably not.  A score of  85.60 moves him into second.  He is smiling like a hyena.  Kickass.

One rider left and last years X-Games gold medalist does not look good to make the finals unless he can throw down a huge run.  The pressure is really on Stephen and he is fidgeting as he looks down the ramp and puts his hand to his helmet in thought.  This is not the way it's supposed to work for the X-Games gold medalist from the prior year.  But, it's not 2001, it's 2002 and the riding is insane.  He drops...  A loop x-up to a 360 turndown to a big 360 x-up on the last set.  Very smooth, very big.  He drops, a loop no-hander to turndown (same air!) and a 360 x-up.  It is not enough though, he simply brought the gold to late for it to help him into the finals...  no double flip attempt even and not enough glory early on to push him into the finals... heartbreak at #11.

That wraps up this years preliminary coverage for dirt 2002 at the X-Games.  Hopefully my coverage and typing isn't to piss-poor for you all to enjoy.  There will be some photos up by about 9:45PM tonite (the 15th) after some really quick editing - check back soon!  ~P~

RED INDICATES LOW DROPPED SCORE!!!
