Should be mentioned that Elias fell on his final hit, but seriously, doing a sketchy ass backflip (it was really sketchy) is so damn gay.

Yeah really. My dad knows nothing about freeskiing and he watched the X Games with me. He like went crazy over Dumont's superman and didn't even look twice on Jon Olsson's run. Basically, whatever trick looks cooler to people who know nothing about the sport wins.

Elias Ambuhl and Bene Mayr complete the podium.
If Kevin Rolland actually won with a backflips that's really fucked and lame.

King of....are you Serious!?! Really want to see the footage of this one. Not saying Elias and Mayr don't deserve a spot, who am I to say as I haven't seen it and both those guys are style imo. But seriously, a backflip wins KOS:/. Sounds like not only the jump is sketchy.

Since Elias fell it is understable. And he probably wanted so hard to do it steezy as fuck that he couldn't. put it together. Let's wait for the footage.

I'm waiting for footage confirmation before I hop on the bandwagon of judging hate. I find it very hard to believe that this isn't a mistake, troll, or that there isn't some kind of catch.

Well the cool thing is that it's actually true.
And Rolland won with a b-flip because Ambuhl fell on his run, so he just had to land something to win..

the backflip thing isnt too hard to understand, 2 competitors left, first fell. so if the second lands, he wins automatically. so rolland landed a sketchy backie for the win. needless to stay, kos is now bullshit.

That's so stupid. One run encourages people to play it a little safe and can let someone win with a backflip. Two hits lets someone feel comfortable throwing their best trick, or at least throw something better than a backflip second hit if they fall

THAT IS NOT A FLATSPIN 3!!!! GOD DAMN! People claim that a skewed backflip where you turn your head is a flat three. It is not. Haurlaut is one of the only guys out there that really do a FLAT 3!

In the Rolland vs Håtveit, Rolland had a bad landing. Instead of beeing safe Andreas went for the 12 but fell. Rolland advanced.In my opinion the opponent shouldnt be allowed to see the rider before to avvoid safe tricks.

Final Results:
1. Kevin Rolland
2. Elias Ambühl
3. Bene Mayr
4. Andreas Håtveit
T-5. Jacob Wester
TJ Schiller
Simon Dumont
Jon Olsson
T-9. Fridtjof Fredricsson
Oscar Scherlin
Bobby Brown
Sammy Carlson
Aleksander Aurdal
PK Hunder
Phil Casabon
Paul Bergeron





It's kind of funny how going down the list it goes from least style to the most style. Now I'm not saying those guys on the top have no style, I'm just saying it's weird seeing the most steezey people on the bottom of the King of Style results. I know some of them fell as well it's just something I noticed at first.

your right, they should give the win to casabon and not even run the comp.  YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE COMP OTHER THAN HOW PEOPLE FINISHED and the winning trick.  wait until you know what actually happened before freaking out
