injured.

ashley b should be on womes list as well as dane tudor and charles gagnier on mens slope. But it said that was only the first announcement so maybe they will be.

as much as i think dane is clearly good enough to be in there...

its espn and they only care about previous comp results pretty much when deciding for x-games...

dane slayed canadian freskiing open and junior freeskiing open but doesnt have that long of slopestyle body of work so it could hurt him

but who knows when u win the iF3 award like he did, maybe an alternate?

Interesting note - Jon Olsson is nowhere to be seen...I know he's racing, but I figured he'd still get invited/compete at X?

i suspect jon will be invited into slopestye at the very least, prob in the 2nd wave of invites

still not sure what the deal with big air is... going to flip a brick if they ditched skiing big air and left it in for boarders

prob backlash for us all hating on their judging last year ala dumont winning with a dub front lol

He did bitch out of the contest last year (didn't think the course was safe) probably not the best way to get invited back.

There are usually several waves of invites, the first being the largest, not sure why they do this, but that's what they've done for the past couple years.

I wanna know where that pep and andy footage from 2007 is. And I wanna see them back. BUT I know that's not going to happen, is it...

Dave Wise in the pipe, dude he deserves it so much. He shreds so hard and nobody invites him to the big contests... I hope he wins it.
