i'm sorry but that list is terrible. Lots of potential winners missing, let alone others who should have been picked!

WTF that list is horrible. I thought T Hall was going to be competing this year in slope. I could go into depth about why some of the invited skiers shouldnt be there but I dont feel like ranting now.

I was going to write the exact same thing.

All those skiers are far better than Peter and deserve a spot over him. Especially Jacob and PK, who have absolutely destroyed competition scene with wins an NAO and all the city big air comps. Sure, the X-Games committee is just looking for ppl with big comp wins, so I can kinda understand in some distorted view of reality why Henrik isn't in. BUT, with a win at North American Open...how the FUCK is Jacob Wester not invited?

If you click the link, it says "Athlete lists are subject to change at any time."
I really hope so, PK and Jacob W should of course be participating at xgames!

 I presume Jacob and PK have a lot of chances to get invited. There is 4 more to come and 2 alternates.

Couldn't agree more, why the fuck is Olenick invited? I guarantee its only cause hes a local or whatever, "fan favorite", and brings out people to the event. So wack.

and who the hell is Russ Crenshaw? wtf?

There is absolutely no reason Henrik, Tom and PK shouldn't be at X.

That's a terrible list.

Who does the selections anyway?

I hate the way the slopstyle has just turned into another big air contest. Invite some more guys with tech rail skills!

Is there anything the NS scene can do to suggest other riders to ESPN?  As with most of you, I think PK and Henrik should be in.  I'm sure the NS scene has enough influence for it to happen.

I think this same type of thing happened last year, and if i remember correctly, this is just the initial list. More will get invited and more will qualify. Furthermore, i believe the selections are based on results, so each of those guys must have done something decent within the last year.

I dunno if you noticed, but X-Games has a lot to do with money... hence the reason Pete O and Colby and a few others who haven't placed well recently are on it. 
Russ is so sick... he has a chance of winning for sure. 
And we all know who the best, most deserving skiers are in terms of skill, but I'm sure the people who choose the riders are more focused on the big names that everyone recognizes.  NS loves Henrik, but I don't think he's that well known in the US yet to your average joe.
