i dunno, a switch backside 12 is crazy, and it was pretty smooth too.  I did think Travis's jump was crazy, but the other dude had an equally sick trick

They matched the two better guys up in the first round.  which is why the setup in general is stupid. 

Personally I felt it was close.  I am a bit biased towards Travis though.  I love how it is a double and he switches grabs in the move.

I think torstein deserved it, a switch backside 12 is just insane and it was smooth and stomped landing, travis' trick was amazing but i think it was right to go to torstein

The judge who was sitting by sal changed his mind  pretty much. In t rice's heat he said the sw backside 12 got his vote over the double flip. A double flip is way more progressive than any normal on axis spin. Then in the final the dude who won got his vote "just becuse it is progresson in the sport". What is up with that. A dub is not proggression????

yeah, it was such a tough fuckin' call to make, torstein landed perfectly the hardest 1260 possible and travais landed his double perfectly as well, i would have gone with travis.

yeah, travis was better in my mind. but a 1260 is pretty crazy. plus he went corked like halfway through it.

trice got robbed for sure, a switch backside 12 is rediculous but takin into consideration he is regular, its not quite as hard as a sw. back 12 being goofy.... it makes a difference for sure, regardless though it is 180 more than 1080 and travis did some double grab then switches grabs, i dunno man i think it was a bullshit call but hasnt there been alot this year already.... Oh and travis's movie is gonna be the most insane shit ever
