Bobby didn't have the run he wanted at all, so he just had some fun...He was doing double's over the transfer right.

I don't know, he's having mad speed issues and he's in 7th with Jon and Simon still waiting to bump into the top 8, so he could miss the cut.

Jossi has struggled with his knee all season.  It prevented him from competing in pipe at the Mount Snow Dew Tour stop.  Looked like it was bothering him again today.  He blew it on the the dfd box, and he essentially bagged his run.

yeah that was kind of a bummer. i feel he should have made the final. one of the few to hit the channel gap and he lands with one ski. should have made it. DC did the same thing in the pipe a few years ago and got points taken off for it. should be bonus points.

i didnt want simon to advance, but as bullshit as his win yesterday was, he just got robbed by keeping him out of finals.

simon didnt advance because  he could not have hit the jump  after, the slopestyle thing is to do trick after trick if he had 1 more jumps after the booter he couldnt have hit it.

that comment is just stupid. it's a slopestyle course. that was the last jump, there is no more jumps after the last one. so he finished his run with one ski. he got robbed with a 65 on a good run. only thing i can say bad about his run was the revert in the rail section.

soooo tweaked, if the ski didn't pop off he woulda qualified for sure and it would have been one of the sickest grabs I've seen him do

Mike Douglas is whoring for his ski sponsor. I respect what the man has done for the sport, but that was pretty weak . . .

yea but he still landed it, it would be a different thing if he fell, but remember charles one legged landing last year, sorta similar, crazy none the less but if there was a jump after the booter charles wouldnt of had enough speed either....not taking anything away from either landing but there isnt another jump after the booter so i still dont see why it would matter

That's because Scott Vail was judging from his iPhone and he knows all about front flips.
