Well deserving winner... kinda wants to say an 18 though. Looks like he has enough air for an extra 180

Yeah Schlopy! 

Wasn't enough speed for triples and some really gnarly wrecks.

Elias got shafted a little in the judging as did Wells but thats life...

im gonna blame the jump. schlopy coulda had an 18 and sammy or bobby a triple if only the jump had been windells or alyeska size.

Stoked for scholpy.

But, you can't be scored for the same trick twice....what was different about schlopys 3 hits?

Schlopy earned that, but otherwise, the judging sucked.. Not worth staying up until 5.30 am to watch that..

I'm happy I saw qualifiers, they were way better than the final imo, I thought the finals would be crazy after watching the start, turned out to be almost mellow compared to the start of the night

X-games big air is a joke. You can't win unless you're from USA... Hatveit, Jossi and Wester got robbed in elimination. And Ambühl was underscored in the finals, how can Sammy get a 10 points higher score with a switch misty 12 with a early released grab then a perfect switch doublecork 12? They should just bring the text-voting back, at least there's a reasonable explination for wack scores then.

And Mike Douglas should learn the difference between a 1080 and a 1440.

This. Also, it would be nice if the commentators didn't over-hype tricks that don't happen.
But awesome skiing anyways.

yep, as weird as it was the finals seemed lackluster even with 16's haha. partly because of the suspense the 18 and triple where given but also because the tricks that were thrown this year were the same as last year with a few exceptions.

I dont care what ns has to say about any of the tricks, but Jacob took the HEAVIEST slam. How he came out of that awake, and walking, is a mystery to me. I legit thought he was gonna die.
