In the qualification he basically says that gus' switch double was bad and that he shouldn't have qualified. Wtf? It seemed like he was serious about it too.

jon made a valid point..... the comp is called the KING OF STYLE, if you run into a fence on your landing...prolly didnt land the trick with too much style.

kos wa the name of the comp.

gus grabbed his double with a safety grab wich is nbot tech but what the hell was that guy doing in the landing area anyway, it's not like the landings are that wide on city big airs...
 that being said, even tho I like Gus and I tink he'll be a force to reckon with in the future, I seriously doubt that that tricks hown on the video deserved a 2nd palce qualification spot.

It was Cosco, so I'm assuming he went before Gusd was leaving through that gate there to go jump again or whatever.

And I agree with what Jon said 100%.  I wasn't there, nor did I see every jump, but c'mon.
And I respect him for not being afraid to say how he feels.

I think he should have pointed out that it is cool that someone almost half his age is throwing a switch double, since he is all about progressing doubles. He was pretty apathetic for gus.

Just watching the JO Video clip it looked like Kentworthy was going to hit the fence regardless of anyone being there. It looked like his tails on his skis were touching the airbag-fence thing as soon as he was about to spin his skis around. Then again the video isn't from the best view point to judge how reckless or how in control he was, it would be better if the video was from the bottom.

Jon; the consumate professional? it would appear not.

Dont talk like that about fellow competitors, especially when they're right behind you. it's just rude.

i thought gus' trick was sick, maybe not 2nd place sick, but better than henriks, so good enough to qualify and thats all that matters. i hope he wins just to shut Jon up, he's getting carried away with his own self-importance.

wtf jon grabbed his double with a safety grab...he should not have gotten second. the only reason his trick was stylish at all was because of the landing, in the air he didn't look too good in my opinion.

I definetly think that Jon's word choice (shitty) wasnt appropriate. I mean, it wasnt perfect, but it definetly wasnt shit.

still wasn't that steezy to me, he was hucking it around wayyyyy fast.

on another note, i really wanted to see henrik's cork 9 tail i think that coulda been really solid.

was that video the whole qualifier? Because there could have been more "shitty doubles". I thought Gus's double was pretty smooth, but he wasn't entirely in control on the landing. I thought his looked better than JF's. I still don't fully understand why people would have been throwing doubles on a city jump, especially since the idea of the competition is apparently to have the best style. IMO they could have done smaller, slower spins with better/more innovative grabs and concentrated on sticking the landing, like last year when Richard Permin's 7 beat Tj's 1260, of course it does show how much the sport has progressed. since last year, that pretty much everyone who qualified was throwing doubles or 12s and they looked at least pretty good. Also PK's Dub cork 12 is just ridiculous and totally deserved the win. Also I think it's pretty whack that at least 2 of the judges are on coreUPT (TJ and Permin) and they are judging their teammate(s)

Can't speak for Wallisch but the reason Henrik didn't do well is pretty simple actually...the competition was called King of STYLE and he just hucked himself sketchily. If anyone but Henrik was to throw down a shitty switch 12 and attempt the 14 he would have got nothing but hate from NS. Henrik is dope skier but why are people fuckin obsessed with him.
