Riddle for pipe, dumont will not podium if they take any sort or style at all into consideration, and prob hall other that that who knows 10 other ppl might win.

i reckon jossi is capable of winning either as long as he isnt injured.

Yeah um not to hate on Simon totally. But I think people are realizng that he spins one way and its usually fowards. Tanner has switch hits legit dialed, hes got both way nines and all that jazz. Andreas has the same and all 4 nines. I think its those two! I could see Jossi winning slope and all those guys Hatviet with both switch 10's and his rail annialations word.

i hope this year, people who place in park and pipe will be different and maybe even people we havent heard much of. Like in pipe its always dumont and t hall, but maybe this year it will change, but in park its almost always different,

if the judges wernt biest i would say that hatviet should get somewhere due to the fact that he has the most technical pipe run ever and this yr will only be better he will prbz do a switch 1440 first hit.as for slope i wouldnt be suprised if hatviet takes it aswell or schiller

umm... id defenatly watch for pk in the slopestyle...I can hope jon takes it too, but the setup is soo sketchy every year, it will be almost impossible for him to throw his doubles. but even without them he could do a solid run...oh well...
