thats the 'trick list' listed by EXPN.com. by looking at the list and also watching it live yesterday, i thought jon was completely screwed over by the judges. like a lot of ppl here on ns.com, i think the judges were just tanner-ist, favoring him even before he left the start. thats my two cents

thats interesting. missed it yesterday but based on that Jon deffinatly got screwed. Tanner should've gotton third, olenick second and jon first. Jons' swich 1080 and 450 on..gnarly shit. I heard Pep was a judge though so wouldnt he have some good judgement?

Yeah having watched the clips I definitely think it should have been Olsson, Olenick, and then Tanner.

i thought jon skied it perfectly, like his style was clean, he didn't look hella bored in between the jumps like all the other fools did, and his airs were immaculate, but i didn't think his run had the attitude that tanners did, that 450 onto the rail just really started things off well. i favor jon over tanner as a better skier, but i don't think hes as enjoyable to watch in a slopestyle run - an i think that says something about tanners attitude. hes just more of a performer than jon is and this reiterated by tanners obnoxious conceited attention craving of the camera. and thats my two cents.
