I'm sort of undecided about Jens. On one hand, I really, really like his style, and he is a true superunknown. I feel like he could do really big things if he won the contest. On the other hand, there were tricks he did in that edit that I could do better.

oh well the fact that hes 13 changes alot, but this contest is about overall tighness there is no tightness to age formula. fucked up for 13 tho, he could win mini super unknown all day

Entry today is interesting. 13 years old which is sick at that age, but age doesn't really play a factor in this contest. You're good at any age. I don't care if your 21 or 12 I just want to see some good skiing. So all in all the skiing was good for his age and much better then the average NSer, but not superunknown material.

Read that sentence again and realize that the "crap" comment meant "Oh shhhi--" and not "13? That's bullshit and a wicked lie at that, good sir!"

Dear Jens, you can't put lips for urban rails on the outside of the staircase.

can Sandy Boville enter this cos if he's entered this I want him to win or at least lose to Martin Boulais. Shit, B really is where its at. Should have had that on your list along with the other characteristics these guys show.

its a good point, but think about it this way.

if they pick up a 13 year old with this much potential, by the time hes 18 think of how good he will be, and how level 1 will already have him on the team. it would be a huge jump start on the game

just my dos cents
