SCI Prediction Thread

Besides the obvious talk about whether triples will gone down, etc. What do you guys think will happen with SCI today?

I wrote down my predictions for all who care to read through.

Spark Notes: Sammy C is favorite if he competes, Wallisch a close second if he isn't comatose from driving, and then anyone's ball-game after that with guys like Schlopy, Schiller, Talkington, and Casbon

It's stacked, and skiing is at such a crazy level I can't even decide which tricks are iller. Hopefully it will be judged a large amount on style.

i was talking to lyman at windells last week and he said he really wants to go for triple so if he does he could be a contender

if a triple flat goes down, it will be unnatural.

he said on the saga blog that he is not competing, and is not going to be skiing at windells. shiiiiiit. was so psyched to even just see my fave skier. but alas....

he is taking the rest of the summer easy to recover. +vibes to him and Gus Kenworthy, who may have broken his ankle skating at windells... hah.

i know of two...

when he decided it would be a good idea two smash his back into that tree for the PBP trailer, and now. but there might be a third. i think i read that he broke his back before chads? that may have been the tree incident, though.

i dont know that he got hurt at chads, i think he may have just been hurting, and tweeked it a little bit. but yeah, i definitely remember hearing that he didnt hit it as much as he wanted because his back hurt.
