this whole big air comp has been shit for so many reasons...

1) 4 riders? Whats with that?
2) Shitty commmentating
3) Average jump for it
4) they end up doing the same trick over and over.

At least the final wasnt jacob vs. jon. That would have been 2 kangs vs. 2 kangs.

but good for Jon, with all his video blogs for all of us, he deserved to get the win, and he threw down, literally made everything look so easy

OK REPOST CAUSE I WASNT A MEMBER 5 MINS AGO :::: Sweeeet !!! i get to meet my idol finally !!! So sick that you can represent the pro's an jus talk here. I think majority of NS are still just pissed at the disrespect for tanner from the croud yesterday even though he through down. Mad props to you for throwin down last nite man an just unlucky it didnt go well for you. This sucks that ive stayed up till 4.30am just to wotch it and its blackscreend. Its all gurrd tho... met Mikey.D a few months bck when he came over ... holla at him if u want to be hooked up with a pistol unit t-shirt (comon man it suits your name) if ya wont one. check out the Pistol Flip on youtube man. Soz for stealing the name by the way an wotnot (not my choice it wos given at birth). anyway mad respect man for ya, and thanks for comin on chattin with everyone keepin us up to date. Unluckily us Euro's don't have espn on TV so thats not really an option.

i wishhhh. oh man i wish.

jon derserved it. props to him

on another note. that whole 4 person bracket was wackkkkkkkk. there needs to be more people and run more like JOI (ha ironic). how it is now, you see the same tricks liek 6 times, i dont blame the riders tho.

the best part about the whole thing was that jon said the jump was a little small. They've got to build bigger jumps for these comps.

X Games medium sized air!!!! SICK!!!!!

Still more entertaining than womens snowboarding which is sadly more entertaining womens skiing, what a fucking joke.  Still the snowmobiling was definatly the most boring thing on television.  At least they let me know Shawn White was competing 1000x cause obviously I would have never guessed that HE of all people would be at the X Games

props to jon, it was deserved

my favorite part, however, was when that dumb blonde reporter offered to "hold their poles" during the rocks paper scissor shoe (which is so lame by the way). what a shitty competition

Why the fuck does sal malakslaklalka say such dumb shit. He compared Jon to fucking Lebron James.
The commentary was so stupid, everything seemed like a joke. The whole thing looked so unorganized.

man, so far from not being able to watch any of it and having this thread as my only source of information, i'm pretty much back where i started from. All I can say is, I cant wait till Jon's Videoblog clears this whole thing up.

I hate Sal Mal....every year hes back. And Mike Douglas is annoying as hell too. And HIS vote counted? I thought it was a judge and the text whore mass of people that voted. Jacob and Jon should have had a show down of their switch 7 and flat 5. Those were so sick!

I like your attitude. I thought the big air was a crock of shit. 4 skiers, audience participation on scoring, and questionable judging made for a complete waste of time. Simon got fucked over, Jon makes me sick everytime I see him ski, Gagnier got lucky with a silver and Jacob also got screwed over. Where is the real progression?? Fuck spin to win and anyone who condones it.

sorry, but dumont actually needs to learn how to spin two different directions before he gets my vote..

not to mention spin at least a 12.. Gagnier woul have beaten him easy... TJ would have outspun him an entire rotation..

and Yoon just dominates with how solid his kanga is..
