I hate to be redundant, but after seeing that course I really think Tom Wallisch will do pretty well.  LJ will kill it as well.

the sick thing is, the course isnt that big, which means creativity, will finally fucking do something instead of spin to win.

Andrew Taylor, he'll throw a spin so big the judges won't know what it was, and word on the street is that he has kangaroos now.

Its highly unlikely for any one besides a pro to win. Yes, it's happened, but the likes of sammy (who will be hungry to win) and jon are going to win. i hate to say this, but t-wall just can't compare with most pro skiers...

I dunno, Wallisch stepped it up like crazy since his famous promo. He's got a solid Flat 9, can do grabbed switch 12's, and flip onto rails.

Tom is sick. And his rail skills are better than some pro's. But it seems at x judges didn't give a shit about rails, but who knows about us open judges will say. But to win the open, all 4 10's and sw 12's won't be enough, since pretty much any "pro" can do that. I hope he does well though...its about time he gets his name in some magazines.

Predictions for last place...?  I am oh so mediocre for Summit County and better than this kid.    Why not sell his spot to some one with skill and with a suitable height to weight ratio?
