Interesting format having to show your 8 best tricks

I guess that is to stop people relying on 1 or 2 bangers

 Correct me if I'm wrong.  Sammy Carlson won last year, without throwing a single double.

  Frankly, other than the dub cork (I say d-spin) 12, and the super clean kang flip, I think his tricks look like ass.  Clearly this is just my opinion and obviously many people disagree.

I get what you're saying now. I thought you meant all you saw was flipping and spinning in the air when you expected to see some powder skiing.

I love how half his shots are from JOSS last year. No hating, still sick stuff I just find it ironic.
I loved his flat seven. So nice.

the sw dub 10 from JOI is... HUGE. Don't really know why they bothered running the qualification thing for swedes. nobody else has a prayer. it would be cool if they made another team- team scandinavia and had two video qualifiers for that- that would be dope- alexsander aurdal and pc fosse/pekka hysalo would be dope!

I like the wilson flip the best... I dont know why, they just look like your body is doing too many things at once, I just think it looks super neet.

Your video is incredible. Your dub flips/corks/rotations are well above anyone in the field right now.

something that makes me really really really really pissed is the fact that you have to qualify for this event. lets face the facts. you've been in every JOI, you have every dub flip, and you do better tricks that Jon himself. WTF JON that is kinda a slap in the face to jacob. My theory: you're just scared he will beat you!

i guess its for the sponsors, that they want a contest where kids send in videos so the comp gets more exposure or whatever. just like last year...

Jon is just doing this to try to bring some more light to swedish riders, did something pretty similar last year with the winner of that comp being able to compete in JOSS for a couple days. Plus having to choose between henrik harlaut and jacob wester for team sweden is pretty difficult to do arbitrarily~

Whoa, his high mute flats were dope. For some reason they just looked really really good. Nice tricks.
