Dimitri definitely has got my vote, but I cannot find his video on the KOTA-site though?
It is on page 3 today
https://rbkota.twoam.co.za/riders/page/3/
There are some really good videos this time. Dimitri is still one of my favourite riders. I hope we get to see him at KOTA 2019

Typical American voting system. It's about as secure as the ones that keep needing a recount.
I can't mega loop but I could win this contest with a single line script.
Or if I weren't so lazy, add a few more lines so the votes actually look legit on the systems backend as well.

I read somewhere that when a British engineer developed the first turbine engine for warships, he was not allowed to demonstrate his invention at the annual Navy display to the Queen.
So he got some funds to buy an old warship and fitted his engine to it. Then on the day of the Navy display he spent all day sailing just outside of the Navy display area - at twice the speed of the other ships.
Shortly after he got his contract with the Navy.
What I'm saying is, Dimitri get a printed T-shirt that says "KOTA would not let me compete", go to the event site and sail your heart out just next door to KOTA.

I agree, his politics is probably is in this way. Even if he will be choosen to Kota there is not any chances for him to win 1st place as Kevin and few other guys doing much better of course. So probaly he decided to win in such case: Kota not allowed to participate, this is safe way to be imaginable winner of kota

Dimitri prolly will not get in. His video does not follow KOTA judging rules, very few landings on megaloops are presented. Video is too long.
It would be fun to see him compete. But I would rather see Janek in the comp
