Predictions for Breck Dew Tour Slopestyle

Like the title implies, who will take the podium this weekend.  Here is what I'm thinking:

1) Bobby Brown

2) Andres Hatviet

3) PK Hunder

I feel that no matter where the comp is, I feel that Bobby and Andreas have the best chance of standing at the top.  As for PK, I'm really pulling for him to come back strong, and get back in the game.

Today the course was so sketchy and hardly anyone was even hitting the bottom jump, and Russ Henshaw did left dub 10 in to right dub 12 on the bottom jumps. Not one person NOT EVEN BOBBY was doing nearly as gnarly shit back to back on the bottom jumps, most people were not even straight airing it

I think you missed Goepper.

He was throwing two dubs on the bottom jumps. I wanna say sw dub 9 to forward dub 10 or 12.

But besides that, most people were just throwing 3s or somethin' over them.

The snowboarders complained in the riders meeting, so the bottom jumps might be changed.

in the words of bdog, "judging in competitions is pretty whack right now."

personally i could care less who wins becuase we all know that unless you're hucking you're dub 12 over the last jump you're not on the podium. i would like to see someone throw down a clean run all the way through without a dub and get on the podium, however i know this probably won't happen.

wrong. its like the sw 10 xgames big air cause slope got cancelled. its not fun to see everyone throw the same exact tricks, hopefully theres some diversity.

and i hope andreas wins it.

Parsecs are a measurement of time. The Kessel Run was an 18-parsec route used by smugglers to move glitterstim spice from Kessel to an area south of the Si'Klaata Cluster without getting caught by the Imperial ships that were guarding the movement of spice from Kessel's mines.
