Another one? Or are you just talking about the North American Open?

But I think he is trying to get a world tour type thing going too...

Why the hell would they ruin JOSS with New York?




JK, but how is there enough snow to build that big of jumps, they will have to blow it for years....

JOI and JOSS is two totally different competetions..

The next JOI (Jon Olsson Invitational) will eventually be in NY.

JOSS (Jon Olsson Super Session) however is a film/slideshow competition. If you havent lived in a cave for the last months I don't think I'll have to explain the format for this comp any further..

A JOSS comp in NY.. Damn, with a city jump like that, Imagine the footage that would come out of it, it would be amazing! Something truely epic. Not to mention the possibillities, and the variety. That is something I would like to see!

You mean Icer Air??? the jump was ridiculous this year, everybody landing mid tranny, jump perfect. That was definitely above average for a warm weather setup.
