Um, what?

To quote espn:

"Next on X, skiing slopestyle, tanner hall was denied a gold in skiing superpipe but he's back to try for gold in slopestyle"

There was an article which I can no longer find on the xgames web page that was pitting Andreas against Thall saying that Tanner was returning to the X to reclaim slopestyle. If anyone can find it post it

Go to xgames.com and on the right there is their videos go to page 5 and watch road trip x games they talk to tanner and he says "ahh...I'm doing slopestyle on sunday. It's my first time back in slopestyle contest in like 4 years..so see how that goes, haven't really hit any jumps this year but I have a couple of tricks up my sleeves and I'm ready to go have some fun so it should be good"

Yea, quite a course to attempt to make a glorious return on.  I think we could see an underdog prevail on this crazy course.

im going to respectfully disagree. i think a tight course like this might favor those who have been at it for years you know? (not tanner, someone who has been doing slope forever, including the last few years)
id LOVE to see tanner win though

  I hear that for sure.  Good thought.

  I think powerful riders (Andreas, PK) will have a good time on this course just because they're both really strong, which will help with quick transitions and carving in/out of jumps.  Also technical riders (Walker, Casabon, etc.) should do well with the slightly more tech jibs, and jumps that seemingly favor style over linking difficult tricks.

  And lastly, as we learned from watching Snowboard slope, anyone who gaps the channel is going to score well.

I hope he rides. And as for the course tho Ive only seen footy I think its sick and would love to have a chance to ride it. But that being said I dirt jump in the summer time and a place I ride at has a quick back to back to back 3 set of tables, and I love it feels like a trampoline, tho it does get scary say landing a right spin sw then going sw left off the next

I am at aspen right now and I just saw him walking out for slope practice..... Im thinking that the C Crew condo meter just gained a few points.... My prediction the meter is at about 95 ( o being he is not doing it and 100 being he is absolutly doing it)
