i saw only one truck driver, in the snowboard pipe (white?)

endless mutes as expected and japans.

why are we not seeing more creative grabs, or even more tweaked grabs, esp in slopestyle

Its much harder to do huge spins with anything other than a Mute, or mute variation, (cept safety)

from my experience neway

yeah but slopestyle is more about expressing yourself and your style. I'd much rather see Colby do his dub nose 7 then a 10 with a mute, obviously on the money booter you are going to spin hard, but on the three hits before almost no one spun less than a 9.  Bring back the style

The problem is that the judges don't give a fuck about what most people (going out on a limb here) want to see, they care about spin to win.

I saw plenty of sick grabs. I like Jossi's grab. He threw a sick 7 I think with a nice nosegrab and then poked the shit out of it near the end of the rotation.

Gagnier's Octograb while doing a 1260 was just ridiculous... I mean Jon Olsson's kangaroo flip was cool as shit, but technically speaking...Gagnier's hit was way more sick I thought...

since when were truckdrivers and double true noses creative? 2 seasons ago they were the most played out grab in the industry
