why are so few people in big air?

is it like snowboard and skier combined?
or do the rest qualify from slope?

i hope they add a whole whack of skiers to the roster after slopestyle, many many guys who could win aren't on the list.

I wish it could be Rainville or Vanular or Tom or Ahmet or Favre or someone who could throw down in a styley way. Im sick of seeing doubles win everything whether or not they are baller or not.

i thought PK was invited in the first place.. guess i was wrong then. But it's weird they're not giving the spot to the last winner of JOI.

can anyone who actually KNOWS confirm the format of X big air? i mean a contest with 4 athletes seems pretty rediculous and if dumont definately got tj's spot then what on earth was the selection criteria?
i mean jon and tj would be a given and probably gagnier as well but jacob and dumont? i can think of a whole load of athletes that would likely prevail over those two...

pk?
andreas?
lolo?
tanner?
colby?
jossi?

i mean i'm not saying these guys are necessarily better than dumont and/or jacob at big air but i'm just curious as to how the selections were made as there doesn't seem to be any obvious criteria...

I dunno, I think that Jacob has the "big air" skills needed to be in the top four.

Mono ski is the proper term for sit-ski. Those guys charge like no other.
