Tom Wallisch kills it harder then 99% of pros out there. He needs to be in X Games not only because he has a legitimate shot at winning, but also because he is a driving force in our sport. Lets show the world exactly what skiing is all about and get Tom Wallisch in the 2009 Winter X Games. All Agreed? say I

as you all know the judges at X want nothing more than tech, so twall does have a shot cause he can throw some gnarly shit, but he wont throw a zero if he actually wants to win.

also with the invited riders thing, they only go for the big names that ride for the big companies that make the big bucks. now for us twall is very known but for those invinting the riders they may or may not know bout him, if u look at the roster its basically the same year after year, wasnt pep invited for slope last year (i may be wrong on that one) pep focuses majorly on BC and not so much park so why was he invited?

i think the real petition should be for a skiing delegation of higher ups is the community to invite the riders, pick the judges, and course setup. to truly bring out the best of the sport.

no cuz spriggs went two years ago, when he was probably less well known than wallisch. just cuz they dont show them on tv doesnt mean they dont go

if Tom gets invited and wins, it would possibly be the single largest career explosion in our sport's history. he'd go from an NS sweetheart to having his name and face plastered across primetime international TV at the most highly-publicized freestyle skiing event on the planet. seriously, imagine that for a second- we all know how good he is, it's not a far-fetched idea. that would be nuts to see.

not to be a hater but thomas dolpads was in it last year which pretty much annihilates that entire arguement. not hating on dolpads just saying hes a very little known athlete he obviously still slays it.
