1) Anyone on here who agreed Y-W should be in second is nuts. I really don't care much for dumont, but holy crap his run was immeasurably better.
2) How can you hate on Rolland? He is happy, works hard, stoked for others and throws down? And that is something to dislike? Yes, he has a high voice sometimes... oh wait, he can't help how he sounds. That is like hating someone for having brown hair.
3) Dumonts run and grabs were ill. I used to think that he really lacked in that area, but he grabbed all the way and his run was huge.

Still baffled at Torin's score. Really like the kid though, seems like a great future for stars in pipe skiing.

Kevin Rolland's run was great, but I feel like Simon deserved the silver to be honest.  He was absolutely BOOSTING.  Torin-Yater had a fine run don't get me wrong, and that final hit was damn smooth but I think he deserved bronze tonight.

Rolland deserved 1st, his last double was immaculate, but the entire competition was a huge step down from last, year, it would have been a lot more interesting if guys like Dorey and Wise could stick a run. And Dumont reacted exactly like anyone else here would. He was unquestionabley robbed of the silver by a run that simply wasn't as good. Of course Torin was stoked when Rolland won, he got fairly beaten, and he still gets a sliver medal at 15!

Also I'd like to add just in case it was someone in this thread and not one of the other 15 for thinking Dumont is over-competitive.  That's bologna because he had damn good reason to be mad for not placing where he should have in our sport's biggest venue.  I've got a true competitive nature and I thank god for it, I'd rather be over-competitive than under-competitive.

So much hate on dumont, for no reason. He def deserved 2nd, if not 1st, if I got robbed that hard I'd be shitty mode as well.

Someone call the po-po, because the Dumont got ROBBED!


I can MAYBE see how Kevin got first. Maybe. Though I think their runs were about equal, except Simon went ginormous, which in my mind gives him the win.

But seriously? A poopy grab alley oop double, and a straight up pencil 12 beats a super cleanly grabbed dub 12 and and a TAIL GRAB DUB RODEO?!?!?!? Absolutely not. That 12 Wallace did was hideous, no way around it.

I just watched it. Dumont should have gotten first. HE went a bit bigger than Rolland, and I think overall his run was better.

Would have been sick if Dumont landed that first run. Probably would have won with no questions asked.....Buuut maybe not since I have no idea how Torin's run beat him. Wait he's 15......so crazy dude, lets give him extra points. Judges should not give out high scores if a skier hucks a spin with no grab...even if it's only on 1 of their hits. Shits just gross.

Simon should have won with his two insane first and third trick. The amplitude of his tricks and quality of the grab should have made him gold.
However, Kevin Rolland made lots of switch and a nice dub cork mute.

Podium should have been

Dumont
Rollant
Wallace.
