it was sick, but yeah, judging was a little off i agree... i think dumont took it cuz he had the monster airs, 1260 (clean-not a sketchy 10, just to compare), then the flat 7 to sw 7. olenick was back seat in every double flip, but that was still cool. props.

ya dumont got robbed for sure, he should have edged out tanner... but it was such a sick show, glad to see them all fighting hard adn skiing so well... i just wish ESPN had showed more of the finals and other skiers instead of just thall, dumont and olenick (and others, i know)

Judging was completely on!


The judges werent looking for how much you could spin at the end of the run, they were looking for a good first Tech Trick, and then that you stuck everything else down the pipe, Tanner, and Olenick, both did that, This comp was not all about Spin to WIn, they took into account style as well. People may not realize it now, but this is actually very good progression for our sport.

and if you think dumont was robbed you have to say Andreas was robbed too, the reason he didnt get top 3 is he did the same kind of run Simon does, SPIN TO WIN!, Olenick brought style in and ended up with a 90.00 on his third run, the Double Flat Spin ooozes with tech and style

1. Tanner won bc he threw a switch 10 (first hit) and a regular 10. Have you seen 2 10s in one pipe run before?


2. Dumont got second bc of his amplidtude. He was going the biggest, but the 5 truckdriver hes been doing for 3+ years... step up the technicallity... grab your 1260.

3. Pete deserveed 3rd bc he had a sick dbl flip (no grab), but he also didnt have the tech...no switch spins.


In my eye, judging was DEAD on. I even predicted Dumonts last score, a 92.

no he has only done it the past 2 years and this year it was a truck to mute. Also dumont did a 1260 and which has prolly never been done before. Plus he did back to back 7s the first one was rightside then a switch 7. So im pretty sure he got robbed for the second time in a row.

In my opinion.......  Dumont is the only one that can get away without grabbing when he spins because he's sooo short.  If peter or andreas did that it would look stupid.

How can you guys say the judging was off? They were only seperated by one point! That means they both had great runs and the judges knew it. now whether you think Simon should have won or glad tanner won is all part of the sport...it's subjective

so you are saying that they are skiing for the money, yeah ok bill.  lets see...tanner starts his own film company so he can take skiing a way that he wants it to go, hate it or love it he is trying to progress the sport.  simon is going huge even after he nearly died last season, and he is just fucking baller on top of that.  and jon, if you actually think he is in it for the money i think you are mentally retarded
