I've heard rumors that Jon is going to have a comp similar to the JOI in the US nxt yr. T or F?

I hope so, I would book a trip to see that, I would be more stoked on it than the X-Games. I think it would be ill if they
did a slopestyle as well.

I heard that too. It makes sense w Oakley being a major event sponsor and being a US based company. An event like that would be sooo dope.

i dont think it would be cool because the whole town where he lives goes to see it. they worship him. most ski towns in the US would have 40 year old men in one pieces with their kids going "oh lord, look at those spins" it would be like an aerials comp, plus the people watching wouldn't have a clue

you have to understand hes a national figure, and thats why they do this

i say keep it in sweden (or wherever it is)

it says a JOI in the us not 'the' JOI...


If he meant 'the' tho, then I would really dislike him for selling himself out. The nation loves him...

I don't know if you can own another ski town like Jon gets Are during his event.  Especially in the US.

If he did it here in the states it would probably get as many folks as the Icer Air got but the jump would be much better and safer and people would probably get super stoked on it....this is a really long run on sentence.

it'd be sick but it wouldn't be the same magnitude as the JOI in Are. Jon is a superstar in Sweden but in the US he's just another freeskier, albeit one of the best.
