Here's the gig:   Post your opinoin on who your top 10 invites would be to the X-games.   Two categories, pick 10 for each.  Slopestyle and pipe. 

Remember, if you are saying your buddy should go over TJ Shiller, you've got to prove why with reasons/results.

ano, no fucking tanner hall, fuck that kid. if he really cares so much about skiing, now that theyve given him him his damn gold medal in pipe (even thoughe he clearly didnt deserve it....but we wont go into that), if he really cared about the progression, then he'd stand back and let somebody else win instead. Dominating the field forever (without changing your runs) isn't progression of a sport, that's being a douchebag!

yes, you retard, tanner hall dosen't care about skiing.  seriously, are you THAT ignorant? it's not like he's going to give up competing just so somebody else can have a chance. others can easily fend for themselves, and if you were out there winning major competitions, would you stop?  tanner is an amazing athlete, and a chill guy. try actually meeting someone and talking to them a bit to see what they're all about.

seriously one of the dumest post on NS. People do get mad at tiger woods for winning every event he's in. Its called striving for perfection. If the other riders cant beat tanner, thats their problem, not his. Have some respect for one of the sports biggest riders.

I totally disagree. I love Becker and all, don't get me wrong, but his style doesn't really lend itself to competitions. Going gargantuanly huge and spinning slow and steezy doesn't really get much in comps these days. it's sad, but true.



I want to see Mik D compete again.

BRING BACK QUALIFIERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT MAKES NO SENSE, THE BEST ATHLETES SHOULD BE IN X-GAMES. HOW DO WE KNOW THEY ARE THE BEST IF THEY DON'T EVEN EARN THEIR WAY IN ANYMORE. NO MORE INVITATIONS NO MORE JUDGE PICKS. PUT THE TOP PROS AGAINST THE YOUNGER KIDS WHO WANT IT MORE THAN THEY DO. I guarantee if we still had qualifiers for skiers the x-games athlete list would be 90% different!!!

You can't blame Tanner for that, its the judges fault for giving him gold when he doesn't change his run rather than awarding it to someone who's doing something "progressive". If they did that than surely Tanner would be forced to throw some new shit in there and then you might get a different run from him. Given the judges decisions Tanner would be crazy to stand back and not do a run that he thinks might win him it- there aren't many pros who would turn their back on potential x-games gold plus a fat cheque and i don't think there are many people on this site who wouldn't throw a tried and tested run if they thought it would get them podium in a comp

exactly. stepping aside and letting the next best person win is not progressing the sport. let tanner do the same run and keep winning until someone gets something better and beats him.

it makes me mad when kids name the same fuckin names over and over because they dont no anyone esle...

bibby is one of the best skiers right now i think the kid is killing it but he doesnt always do very good in comps

Comb patton should def be in pipe along with laurent who deserved the win last year for his more then amazing run which was progression...7 to cab 5 to cab 9? come on

defintly put haviet in either

i could maybe see sammy in slope

i wouldnt mind seeing some of the young guns start to compete with bigger guys...we all no they could easy get up in the ranks

haha put frank raymond into a urban comp...if that ever happeneds

id like to see hibbert win something...that kid works so hard

mik should come back and film something and maybe enter a comp...but that wont happen

shoya could probly do well in pipe

someone kick dan keisels ass and put him back in the game

tanner rainville into either

sean decker since his vt open run was so sexed up

i think the vt open should be bigger then the xgames..so much shit goes down its ill

and lots more but

I'm tired of seeing all the same faces year after year at the X:

These guys can throw down as much as, with all the respect I give them, Mr. Hall, Mr. Olson., Mr. Schiller and Mr. Thovex. I think they proved they can win big events enough.

Here is my list:

Park:
JF Houle
Corey Vanular
J-D Zicat
Tanner R.
Antoine Gagnier
Ian Cosco
Matt Walker
Sammy Carlson
Josh Bibby ( butter jumping is so hot right now (skimatic))
Tim Russel.

As for Pipe
It going to be like every year:
Dumont and Candide boosting fuckin high
Tanner landing every single run perfect
Laurent Favre ( that's my man)
Andreas (ski genuis)
