oh and i was really disappointed with that trap box. seriously i could have done some of the shit onto that thing, in the finals there were guys 270 on and that's it. i mean i expected pretzels with switch ups and shit we needed t wall!! oh and for my contribution to the thread...

vanular
wallisch
candide
tj
benchetler



thats all i can think of that would've had a good chance at podium.

Most of the skiers I regard as among the best in the world are not involved in the X-games.  I like guys who rip big mountains, so I cannot pick one guy, too numerous to list.

I will mention Pep Fujas, who won a slopestyle silver in 2003 I believe.  It seems that both he and CR went more towards backcountry/big mountain after their X-games medals.

dpsong's coming back with a vengence no doubt....

wallisch woulda killed if there were more rails/got an invite, but delorme woulda slayed for sure

they dont even stand a chance to qualify. They are dope skiers but they dont have tricks nearly as good as sammy or matt walker and neither of them qualified.

They are way better fitted for the BC and probably dont give a shit about the comp scene anymore

no. pep and andy are both young, both could give 2 fucks about competing is the thing. if they got invites they would decline. they would rather slay huge jumps in the BC with the most amazing styles out of almost any skiers. andy and pep are 2 of the most amazing skiers in the world they could easily come to the x games and place in the top 5.

your right dude they would all flop. i mean, come on, what kind of trick bag does pep have? only both ways cab 9s off bc kickers... sw flat 9 rocket... cork 9 true tail... dirtiest nose press in existence... damn yeah he'd be screwed..

and pollard. he was doing sw 7's both ways in like 2001. plus retarded rodeo 5s and 9s.


we're just lucky tanner didnt enter.

yeah. he'd invert on every jump and it would be awesome.. but i have never seen him hit a rail, he would probably just ski around them or do a double frontflip over it
