My two cents on this is the following...
Top 5 have been chosen, all 5 kids have sick skills and steeze, and they are probably up all around the same level. You have riddle with insane pipe skills though! With Garrett Mentionning the BC booters things, im guessing that CosCo and Riddle may have an advantage there since they are west coast kids... Also the fact that Riddle travels a lot already, had te experience to compete in world championship for pipe is also on his side. ..
That being said, I think that once in the top 5, skills may not be all, you are up there, the vid is up there, so its probably other factor that may come play around... For example, attitude, and sponsors. Lets not forget, Level 1 is a business. Cosco and Amhet are on Ninthward, Lil J just got hooked up by Line winning the YGo, Beaulieu is sponsored by Rossi, Mike Clark seems to be on Salomon, or may be unsponsored? ( He'S got mad style though) Honeywell?? I dont know... and then mike riddle head to toe with dynastar... L1p would probably go for that, no problem dealing with a guy dropping his current sponsor, even if he has no contract, its still not the best thing, and dynastar already likes him since hes with them... Plus riddle has an insane ability to travel since already does a lot, and that is certainly one thing they are looking at... And its easier to tell Dynastar to throw in a budget travel to a guy that they already support, than to a newcomer to the company....
So i think that Riddle has a little advantage there... but we'll see!
