Tj Schiller
Henrik Harlaut
Jon Olsson
Tom Wallisch
Pk Hunder
Andreas Hatveit
Peter Olenick
Chris Turpin
I dont want a double front flip to win Big Air that is just stupid, all of the skiers above are more tech. Nothing against Simon, he's sick and the Slumdog edit along with the JOSS edit were sick.

i was just talkin about, if you could pick the 4 guys you think deserve it most, not from the guys who will be there. Maybe xgames will learn something from this.

I mean no hate to dumont hes a dope skier but the fact that he beat out PK with a dub front was kinda bullshit. i don't really get how this many people hate on that becuase it was public vote and im guessing NS members made up a lotta the vote so im not that sure y hes gettin hate.
also id like to see gagnier in the big air again

Ya his double was sick but i think pk shouldve won it.

The public vote thing sucks they need to do the judging again or maybe a hybrid of the two mixed.

ya i think they should have three judges ( Mike Douglass, T Hall, and one of the normal judges) and have head to heads whoever gets 2/3 votes wins the matchup. kinda like it was 2 years ago minus the texting.

Well since it will likely be text to win, I would be amazed to see Wallnuts even make the semi final.  You guys forget that the average spectator of X games wants to see crazy "OOOOH AAAAH!!" shit like TJ, Jon, Jacob, and Dumont throw.  They don't appreciate technique like PK and Tom put out.

Obviously I am not Dumont, so this is speculation, but I am almost positive he threw it to win the money for Riley. He knew it was fucked up, he was even apologizing after to everyone else who competed, but he also knew that was what was going to win. He also knew that every legit skier would hate him afterwards for it, but he did it anyway cause thats what was needed to help out his friend. I hate Simon's attitude, but I respected him big time for that.

that is not correct. The x games has what, 30 million viewers, and ns has a little over 100 000 members. Dumont won with like 90 % or so if i remember correctly. And i doubt even half of ns voted. The gapers of america decided the winner. (yeah, only americans voted. I mean, how many europeans are up at 5 in the morning to watch the x games, let alone text in their vote which would cost like 10 bucks. using public voting to decide the winner is the dumbest thing the x games commity ever introduced.)

that would be kinda cool actually, except i suspect we might have the same thing happen again with lets say Hatveit and Wallisch. A lot of people on here would vote for wallisch even if hatveit threw down way harder.

henrik is going to do a switch double cork 16, calling it now, but simon dumont is going to win with the safety 360, cuz he is an A M E R I C A N. This has got to be the gayest judging system possible.

well im guessing dumont, wallisch, jon, and probably hatviet are going to be the four picked, but i could be wrong

dumont cuz he won last year, olsson cuz he created half of all the double flips pretty much, wallisch cuz hes fucking amazing, and andreas because he is also fucking amazing and incredibly clean.
