That's like saying a double flip off of a water ramp or foam pit is sick, but i mean if you like that then it's fine but for a trick to be "sick as aids" to me, they should land it.

jeeez eheath, so hostile. trick was still sick even though he didn't land. the point is kenny g is being innovative, no ones gone for true nose doubles yet, he's trying to progress the sport. give him some props

"true nose double" is very subjective, he really just did a true nose (not much of a grab really) cork 7 and then did a cork 5 without grabbing at all. After seeing some peoples new dub corks with grabs throughout the whole thing, grabbing for on of the two axises is not impressive.

BTW, this criticism has nothing to do with the skier being gus, just thought id clear that up.

and i'm  sure gus will eventually be able to hold the true nose throughout the whole double. it's all about progression, and progression has to start somewhere.

and nope, not impressive at all. i mean even my fucking grandma can throw a cork 7 to cork 5 and grab through just the first cork. it sucks when in such a nice competition some lameo only grabs through one of the 2 corks he's throwing. it really makes the sport less interesting and all round worse, and i mean a grab that's never been done in a double too? he's just thinking outside the box and that kind of behaviour shouldn't be tolerated.

grow up and stop being jealous.

You know Gus seems like a cool kid but Bobby and him have very similar styles..in the respect they have none. I don't mean to detract from the fact they are amazing skiiers, don't get me wrong they are. I wish I could do half the shit they can, but they really have no style whatsoever. They just seem stiff and awkward.

i definitely see that, but i think them being tall definitely affects what we percieve as style.

I'm pretty sure Gus is only like 6 feet tall. Liam Downey is like 6'5" or something along those lines and he's pretty stylish, but yeah I would have to agree with regards to Bobby. I heard that kid is goonishly tall.

At least he tried something different in his double that no one has really gone for and the first edit was dope as fuck 2.

pretty sick, but in the second vid i have a little hating to do. its one thing to use a song that was used in an edit, but please please dont use a song that was already used in a full movie, there are millions of songs out there, be creative. and also, spell the riders names right, who is jesse wells?

that being said, gus's double was pretty impressive, but would be even more impressive had he grabbed through the whole thing and landed it.

Gus definitely has style on rails, and if he does put that true nose double together it'll look pretty amazing.

i was thinking of wallisch and harlaut at the time, but yeah, liam is pretty styly, considering he stole my name.  didnt know he was that tall though.

he should have done a double cork with a high mute, huh? that would be so much more amazing to watch, no one has done that before. double corks with high mutes are getting as played as kang flips was a little while ago.

oh haha. wasnt sure, i said jossi to myself a few times and could see where someone could get jesse from.

that makes sense though, it is alot harder to see that jesse is a joke, sorry for my misinformed hate.

Thanks for the stoke guys!  Just to clear a few things up, I obviously know that Jossi's name isn't Jesse, it is a joke, his brother Byron was given the nickname Brian, etc... 
Also, I did land the double during practice, unfortunately I couldn't put it down in finals.
I definitely realize that I'm not holding nose the whole way through the double too, however the objective was to grab nose-to-japan.  Thanks to you guys who are stoked on the edits though!  More to come. Enjoy!
