my bet is certainly on Jon, but i would not be surprised if Gagnier does some crazy shit to at least give him a run for his money.

I am honestly hoping that someone wins with a better trick than a double flip. They are not appealing to watch, so someone bust something out and take Jon down.

i don't. either dub flips will win, in which case jon will win because his dubs are better than jacobs, or spins will win in which case gagnier will win.

i don't care which it is, coz i think both will be great to watch.

Andreas could if he was invited....


Jacob might take it if Jon falls, but Jon is a robot, and Jacob hasn't been able to stick doubles when under pressure in the past.

Jon's going to win. And everybody should stop bitching about doubleflips, at least they add a variation to the big air contest. Look back two years ago it was a switch ten shootout.

Jacob always has a shot, he has more grabs in his bag than Jon does and has doubles almost as solidly.

 wtf guys stop bitching about everything 23 years ago it was spin to win is so gay amd now doubleflips are gay wtf its (FREE)style skiing you dont like double perfect we dont fucking care keep it for yourself everybody has diferent perspective were they want our sport to go because of the spin to win and the double our sport that we all loved explode more money is put into the sport now and more coverage on it its people like jon who not only speak but act and does something to make the sport we all share and love to a nother level

Jon will win, most likely. Switch Misty 10? Hexo Flip? Who knows what hes been working on for X other than those. If Simon can get that front flip to misty 7 and make it stylish, he might win. Jon is the king of doubles, and that is going to be the official X-Games Big Air trick this year.

In my opinion there is only one man for the job MCCONKEY!!!!!, Hell straight line into the booter take off, pull his shoot at the apex and then as he is coming down just start spinning i bet he could get at least a 1800. At least this is what i'm dreaming of :)

Or maybe even a b-flip to 1800.......

unless charles has a crazy new grab or doubles i doubt he will be able to take jon.  personally i think it'll go:

Olsson
Dumon
Gagnier
the 4th guy who i cant remember

I like Jon, and I even like double flips, but I can't fucking stand watching him throw Kangaroo flips over and over and over every single competition and winning with them every time. Please give us some variation...
