I just dont agree, it looked smooth to me, had a nice grab, and he landed it solid on his feet. It looked more like a 12 w/ a quick twisted 3 at the end which I dont think equates to bad style.

yes that is what he was talking about but he was comparing that video to tj's trick and saying that its making him sad and he's putting them on the same level which is ridiculous because tj's has so much style in it.

Not a chance buddy. TJ's was grabbed all the way through, and with 2 corks.

I'm pretty impressed by TJs 1620...in fact I even published this article suggesting TJ should have taken the gold over BB: http://www.skullyboom.com/skullyblog/xgames-skier-big-air

Travis Rice and every other person with cognitive abilities disagree. Sick grab w a corked rotation, TJ killed it. If that was helicopter style, then it was apache combat helicopter rain fire on your head style. bitch.

Word, even snowboarders are giving respect to tj's 16 and bobby/jossi's 14's. That Big Air comp has brought some positive attention to the sport

TJ and BB were sick, but in my opinion Jossi should have won it! SOoooo much style on both sw 10 and sw 14, so sick.

What got Bobby on top was the fact that Switch double misty is something that's never been seen before.  And I'm not gonna lie that trick has way more shit your pants factor to it that switch double cork.  TJ being up there is a no brainer.

That being said, Jossi definately had the most effortless steeze of the night.  Switch double cork 14 to retartedly effortless looking stomp.  It honestly looked like he did a 180 off a 3 foot jump the way he landed

why not? he was the first to throw a switch 1440 in competition. US Open Big Air, a handful of years ago. first I've seen to throw the bow and arrow grab in rodeos...

TJ's been near the front of the pack for progressing competition skiing since before his pro career even started... watched him at a pipe comp in Whistler before he won his first US Open and went pro, and I was very very impressed with his pipe style, at the time, he was at the same level as Tanner Hall for pipe style, just big, smooth, technical... hell, he got the cover of SBC Skier with a pipe shot before anyone knew who he was - they even labeled the picture wrong - claiming it was Doug Bishop... funny shit if you ask me.
