Gagnier deserved to win, but then again so did Jacob Wester. In fact, Wester deserved it more than gagnier, but nobody can deny that gagnier's win was nice. TJ shouldn't have won (which he didn't) because he was just tryin the same shit as last year. You can't pull that shit off twice in a row and expect to win again. Be original god damnet.

your all dumb as fuck... people are saying ya its cool cause he did a grab but that doesnt make it better. well the thing is you probably couldnt do that grab with any spin or a strait air and nobody else does do it (its original). as well he did a switch 1260 with a hard ass grab and style, what more can you ask for. gagnier deserved the win, jacob deserved second and sammy deserved third, hence why thats the place they each got.

grabing boths skis makes it way harder to look decent when you release the grabs when you spin like a mother fucker like they do. plus grabbing both skis makes it harder to spin fast...

an octo is fucking hard you realy need to concentrate on grabbing the nose and tail plus you need to spin the switch 12 the most tech trick thrown

that whole competition was screwed up, so many people didnt qualify because they werent doing 10's, like charley or whatever his name is was throwing huge switch 7's he fell on one casue he landed like 20 feet from the bottom of the landing, and alexis godbout was doing the smoothest switch 7s ever and going so much bigger and further down than like anyone, colby did the smoothest switch 7 double nose ever and none of those qualified.
then charles was doing ugly switch 10's and pretty much landing on the knuckle. and somehow he qualified against much smoother and bigger switch 10's.
it was pretty cool that schiller tried a switch 16, when he could have just done a swithc 14 and beaten charles. then somehow jacob westers double fucking flatspin 10 didnt win against a normal 12 with a wierd grab. his landing wasnt that great but i dont know if its possible to stomp something that huge and crazy your first try. all he did was land backseat a little buy he still road away with ease.
thats what i call spin to win, a normal 12 beating a double flatspin 10 that is fucking gay.

and hooray for cosco doing a 180 and a sweet straight air thats awesome.
