my recording messed up so I wasn't able to watch it but what tricks were thrown, anything new? and is there any way that I can watch a full re run of it? (just finals I saw elimination)

Announcers kept talking about triple and 1800, but nothing happened. Bunch of doubles.... Henrik through a dirty rodeo 14, but got 0 cred for it.

1620s, no 1800s. no triples either, i think sammy should have thrown one it woulda been perfect and he def woulda double golded if he could land it

yea, I was standing next to sammy's father and some of his friends, he kept coming over to us after the elimination round and talked about it for a second, said he was definitely thinking about it, yet the jump wasnt big enough.

im happy no one did the tripple, the jump was way too small anyway, sammy would of just fucked himself up for nothing. torstein barely made the triple and his was a triple back probably the fastest spinning triple you can do

yup that comp was obnoxious. they were saying the judges were taking it easy on scores cause they know ppl got triples in their bag.. STFU they're trying to turn this into as much of a huckfest as possible

The announcers pissed me off so bad when they were taking about how Henrick was just playing around, taking it mellow when he is thorwing tricks that no one else is close to doing.
And Andreas got hosed. More shit x games judging.

Nothing too memorable was thrown, last years was so crazy. I was kinda disappointed. Schlopy deserved the win though.

honestly, henrik was sloppy. that wasn't his best showing. the best of the night won. shlopy didn't even need the 18. he was the only one going big enough for something like that. and bobby was in serious pain. I bet sammy would have thrown a triple if he didn't already have a gold. too bad russ got hurt.

honestly the the big air was pretty boring to watch. only so many double 12's I can watch. I wish it was more style oriented but then it would be impossible to judge. maybe thats why i shouldnt run the event then
