So as im sure you will all know, Tanner is pulling out of competing which of course means no Tanner-Simon clash at next years x games. But seeing as this has been the big rivalry in the pipe for so many years I thought I'd make the thread and see what everyone reckons next year will be like. With so many kids throwin huge and technical im definitely lookin forward to it!!
So newschoolers..whats everyone thinking? Dumont gonna step up? Olenicks new double gonna shine? Can we see Middle Riddle or Justiin Dorey walkin away with a podium finish?

IDK dude but whatever happens next year at winter x is going to be epic. With Dumont doing his thing, and Dorey going crazy in every contest and Mike Riddle doing some crazy switch 10's. That shits gonna be nuts. I'm also kinda looking forward to what AJ Kemppainen is going to bring to the table. Oh and let's not for get all of the French guys absolutley slaying it.

Peter Olenick will never be a good pipe skier ever again, he really shouldn't have been in the xgames for the past 4 years, he is a very outdated pipe skier.

word on the street is that Dorey learned doubles both ways.

and Simon's really been stepping his game up and he actually has some really good tricks

bertoni is incredibly smooth.

dorey, bertoni, riddle, kemp... They're gonna slay.

I don't know how wells will do, I don't think his pipe game is as polished as it should be. Of course that could change.

bertoni

rolland

kempainen

leinonen

dorey

riddle

wells

these are all potentially better modern pipe skiers than dumont. his method is outdated. he got found out 2 years ago when he only span left and had 4 hits to everyone else's 7. yet this year he still had fewer hit and, other than his 12 which is now like a stock trick for the top guys, didn't keep up with the tech level. times change, dumont hasn't. changing of the guard people, and most of the new slayers are from outside north america. deal with that espn.

Rolland can only spin left.

Agree... starting your run with a right ten on first hit, and then left ten last hit. he is crazy.

AJ is one of the best pipe skiers I've ever seen I dunno why we haven't seen him at the top of any of these events recently.

I'm really hoping Dorey will get a solid run put together cause he was a serious contender this past year.

Still though my top pick has gotta be my boy David Wise, switch right 9 to swtich left 10???
