at least this years big air comps aren't boring, predictable and repetitive

There is always going to be a best trick in judges opinions, can we just get over this fact? It's like complaining about a pitcher throwing a fastball.

At least we are starting to see a more variety. Last comp was mostly a forward dub cork 10-12 contest with mutes. Now they're mixing it up with switch dubs and better grabs.

Actually, Tom is 3rd and Elias is 2nd.

Elias is killing it this year! Stoked!
