I definitely think steels was more legit than Parks 2 that he landed. First of all he went much higher off the double up, second he grabbed all the way around, and both of Parks were ungrabbed, and finally he cased the landing slightly, landed wrapped (more style imo) and the casing of the wake is super tricky to ride away from especially after a double flip 360.
Dowdy has bad luck in contests, video comps, and just about everything. I feel as if he should have run many tour stops, also X games, and a number of other things over the years.
On the other hand I am happy for steel as he hasn't won a bunch of things but is a great rider, with great influence for the sport.
