I absolutely Applaud Trent for been so impartial and correct about this issue of Euro scores. As a host I can see why Horton would bring up controversial topics as to be more interesting and desirable to watch, however, Questioning the European rule abiding is crossing the line, you cannot simply throw accusations saying that USA is more stringent than Europe when following rules.
I don't think that anyone should have to defend a site if everything checks out but lets try. Europe has had one of the hottest years ever. Our water maybe a lot softer and warmer than previous years. They are also running the new nautique which might just be working sweet as right now. We all ski a boat every now and then that feels like butter. Mix that with such amazing youngsters battling each other now and you have a recipe for a lot of season bests. Until something comes out I think this witch hunt needs to end. It may be possible in this world that records may be broken outside the USA.
Just to clarify, I am not even in any way affiliated with the site. I have never even skied in continental Europe, just an offended site owner here in Europe, who is aiming to host a pro event.
