Would the USA podium?France has Rolland and Bertoni. New Zealand has Jossi. I mean, he have simon, tanner, dorey, olenick. Do you think we might not get a medal

Maybe podium, but Dumont was pretty inconsistent in the X Games. And it would be no surprise if Tanner didn't even go and/or failed the drug test.

We'll see, 4 years is a long time and there are a lot of up-and-comers... I'd wonder if the Dumont or Hall will even relevant in four years.

And for the record, Dorey is Canadian. Current (unofficial) pipe team is Marg, Riddle, Dorey, Roz Groenewood, Dania Assaly, and Sarah Burke...

In 4 years, he sure as hell will. But as of yet, he hasn't been able to podium in any big comps. There's no denying that.

you cant predict who will dominate pipe in 4 years, i dont think you would have predicted 4 years ago who is dominating now...

That's true.  But I really want to see him keep that same style and smoothness with bigger, more technical tricks.  And I definitely think he can; I agree with what Bunbury said, I don't think it's possible for us to accurately predict who will dominate pipe in 4 years, but I would definitely not be surprised to see him raping the comp circuit a few years from now.  I'm guessing that we ain't seen nothing yet from Duncan Adams.

in 2014: Jon Olson will win gold in Slalom(or whatever racing he's been training for), Pipe, Big Air(or whatever, if there is one), and Aerials. And maby moguls.  Just because he feels like it.

At least that would be pretty funny.  If any park skier went and won olympic aerials then called it a joke that would be pretty great.

if? nah its a definate WHEN... there is no way they can have snowboard half pipe and not skiing. Tricks are harder and better looking, and the amplitude is just overall greater.  As to who would be in it, it would be basically the same as the X-Games, but with more "unknowns." But Bobby Brown would win Gold for USA so in the spirit of competition... Bring it! haha
