i know injuries and such.. but why isnt Hall invited for pipe? like even if a dude is injured for the time being you'd think they'd still invite them based on their skill normally

exactly he's injured, he made top 3 in the last 5 years or something, if he could compete they would probably invite him, but what's the point if he can't even do the comp

missing from the list; charles gagnier & jf houle, hoping for a big comeback from these two

I think it's still far off to be predicting the X-games, dew tour breck would be a better scenario since it's only two weeks away. But here's my picks:
1. Sammy
2. TJ
3.Henrik
