it would be pretty dope if john symms competed. then again, the xgames is kinda weird cause it doesnt cater much to style. wasnt it simon last year who threw a Sick switch 7 but didnt get shit cause it wasnt a switch 10? i think a lot of riders that arent competing werent invited because theyd probably throw real smooth, styley runs that arent as fun to watch on tv for people who dont ski. i guess bigger spins = more excitement to *most* viewers...

I've not seen AJ Burton ski, so I'm not doubting his ability level, it just seems like there are soooo many more people that are more known and have better comp standings than him. I'm not sure about his comp results either.... but I can just think of a few others who seem more qualified. I hope he slays and makes all these people eat their words. Kill it.

The dominance of North Americans on that list it testiment to the stuck up attitudes of Alpine Europeans agaist freestyle, and why it'll never get in the Olympics while the people who are in charge at the moment are all still in power.
