Stoked for TJ and Sammy. Sammy after getting unlucky last year and TJ after his knee. I like to see that too because I'm recovering from ACL.

Yeeeea TJ.  Much deserved.  Good to see him back on top after his injury.  A lot of people never rebound.

Wow, if Casabon had pulled through and not caught that edge, he probably could have gotten 94+. He killed the rails, man I really wanted him to win it too. Schiller is awesome though.

yup TJ is the man, so worthy the gold. stoked for sammy and west, good judging, perhaps andreas got a little robbed but whatever. pretty good comp, expn worthless though..

Also dissapointed that my fellow swede Jon dropped out

- Jon Olsson deemed the course unsafe and opted not to compete.

according to expn..

Olsson is always complaining about jumps being too small, and now he's saying they're unsafe...haha

Elimination went down between 2 and 3.  It was televised just as much as finals basically.  I guess you just missed it bro.  Simon had a good run, but unfortunately lost his ski off the money booter while tweaking the shit out of a mute during a 10.  Somehow, he managed to land and ride away on one ski.

Pretty sure casabon landed his rail run clean and did his usual jump line when he scored 86 for 5th
SAD thing they didnt show it on tv

I doubt any of the riders tought the channel gap was safe and the fact that the guy who won the whole thing decided to go for the smaller side of the jump coming out of it show how bad it was.

There is a huge difference between a  HUGE jump and  huge sketchy jump.

It was pretty much and open contest for all of those who had teh balls to actually do a trick over the channel gap  even tho it was sketchy.


It's NOT a good course when the winner  dosnt hit the biggest side of the money booter because of the way it is set up.

^Exactly. Jon loves big jumps, he just likes them to be built properly. The way the speed was for that course, and how close together everything was, someone was bound to get hurt on one of the features... and unfortunately that someone ended up being Sarah Burke.

Jon was right, they need to look after the athletes better.

If wallisch gets in next year, and he qualifies first and kills his first two runs, then he will have a victory lap, and I could see him doing a zero...

Fuck whoever designed the slope course.

That was the biggest dissappointment to FINALLY see Casabon, who was OBVIOUSLY the most underrated skiier in X this year. I mean, didn't the notice he had potential during prelims? It sucks to see someone who works so hard, slays and reps skiing the way it should be, only to fall short due to such a short course.

Casabon had the cleanest run before his jump miss, and if he pulled off a solid jump line, he could have podiumed.

And Jon was right, the course WAS unsafe, because you lost obvious points if you didnt hit the RETARDED canyon canal or whatever the shits called.

I say we get rid of text to win bullshit, have Jon build all the jumps and slope setup (only if he agrees to put in rails, ha) and at least show all the runs for all the finalists. I mean for Casabon to be in fourth when none of the general public knows he exists is bullshit, even if its for publicity reasons. It just seems unorganized.

I dont know why I'm ranting, I was just really pulling for b-dog, hes got the sickest style and I think he deserves to be noticed.

Props to TJ, Sammy, and Colby. They all definitely deserve it.

I dont have anything against any of the riders, I think it was the sickest rider list of any year, I just hate the X-game setup, its irritating.
