so no one has really mentioned this.. but whats up with sammy not placing in anything?  or even coming close?  I didn't see the us open, and i did see the finals for slope and pipe at x games.. but that still doesn'tanswer.. I'm just confused.. i thought this was gonna be sammy's big year and i was stoked for him... but i guess not?

it just sees like the poor guys been having a bit of bad luck, i'm sure it'll improve soon. he layed the smack down on both those coarses just not at the right time.

yeah i mean it was tight... all he did was backseat on his 10 or 12 i cant forget on the last hit so he probably should have at least qualified

i think sammy's the man, but when you fall the judges usually tend to take a couple points off.  i wish he didn't get 18th, but he earned it.

His run was sick but he fell when he needed to stick it, if you fall your not gonna place, maybe 18th was a little steep was with a fall one both runs ur not gonna make it in

he is to dedicated to contests but then cant handle the pressure
i think he should talk to salomon to let him stop doing contests and just crank out a dope video segment each year.
imagine if he spent all the time he does practicing for contests to filming crazy shots.

unlikely,
Contests = money for Sammy and Contests = profile for Salomon.

Both need to happen

he fell. not robbed at all. a score in the 60s was probably a gift.
