man, bobby b. got ripped off by the judges. In my mind after watching the videos, he definitely deserved to win.

Their rails were just about even, the only thing henshaw had on the rails over bobby was because of his dirty hardway 270 on. it was pretty tight. but back to my argument. Russ gets rail section over bobby b. obviously

jumps:

Russ did a sw 9, when he missed his grab through the rotation vs. bobby’s cork 9 true tail. Win bobby b.

Russ did a dub 10 vs. bobby’s sw dub misty 12 that he took deeeeep. win bobby b.

Russ did a unnatural dub 12 vs bobby b.’s unnatural dub 12. tie

overall I think bobby’s monsterous jumps should have offset his lack of technical difficulty on the rail section and then some. which means he should have won him the slopestyle contest.

does anyone agree?

Gallant tried to engage in civil discourse, not talk shit. No need to rile him up and humiliate him.  You guys are intersex genitalia: pussies and dicks at the same time.

It Was a hard call, Would'nt shock me if Bobby won. Both runs were good and you can say that the rail game should count more, Russ did a right side 12, Bobby switched up and did dub misty and dub cork in stead of two corkes.. Either way it is how the comps are going down this year, Bobby, Andreas, Tom, Sammy and Russ competing in the top with runs that are so similar good that the judges can pick anyone without being wrong.. And of course someone will be unsatisfied...

this is true. i guess it's all going to come down to what the judges think is "good" that day.

I'm sorry but if you are going to insult someone, you should really focus on using correct grammar and spelling. Just my two cents for future reference.

Yeah, but do we really need more Gallant flogging! It seems that folks need a new hobby.

I think it's great that Gallant's back on NS. I think it's pretty cool that he didn't even try to ski until he was 15.
I respect his opinion although I completely disagree with his thread topic.

Since pretty early on in slope style, judges have made it clear that how you set something down and transition to the next feature effects your score. Otherwise you just get huck and pray. From the video it looked like Russ was doing it better that day than Bobby.
