Duncan Adams is the best halfpipe skier in the world. Most creative run, smoothest flow, and calm style.

If you realised how difficult his run actually is, you would understand. To do ally-oop spins and switch hits with that much amplitude and to keep it that smooth deserves a fuckload of points.

IMO there were definitely others that deserved the podium over him.

Awesome to see judges respect creative, big and smooth runs such as Duncan's was. It was a refreshing change from some of the hucked doubles. Stoked for Wing Tai and Brita.

Torrin should have won in my opinion, thought his 2nd run was alot better than Barrymore's run #1( which was still super good).

Not having any switch hits takes a big degree of difficulty off your run, the judges did a good job. Also, anyone who sees duncan ski in person understands why he was on the podium.

Duncan should win every pipe comp because I've never seen anyone else do a zero spin?

That zero was fucking sick! Stoked he podiumed.

I think that Torin should have gotten first tho. His first run was money.

Very inconsistent judging from what I saw. I didn't see Barrymore's second run but his first run that put him in the top spot was sketchy. Tickling grabs and flailing the whole way down. I felt Torin's first run should of edged him into first as well. Duncan Adam's runs were fucking rad as shit. That dude definitely needs to get more recognition for the creative factor. Every run looked so similar minus Duncan's and Torin's in my eyes.

Some girl needs to go give Duncan Adams a blow job for that run. I also disagree with the judging, I don't think you should be able to podium without a switch hit. But when it comes down to todays contest I would have to give 1st to Duncan Adams that was the best pipe skiing Ive ever seen,Torin did throw down hard and defiantly deserves to get laid tonight but he lacks a switch hit and lacks grabs on some of his tricks. 2nd place for Torin. 3rd for Tai, he put it down today, best I've ever seen him ski, I do think his first run scored a little to high for what it was, but his style is different, its not a textbook combination of tricks, and he also boosts like a mo fucka.

Super inconsistent judging. They sucked as hell!

Can we speak about Wise first run? for just a little spread legs on the sw7 he got only 75... and Wells run? Super flow and style with 6 hits he got less than 70..
not to speak about Duncan with his super style and grabs.

judges dumbs. I hate halfpipe if they judged like assholes

He let me film him a few years ago, he straight up slays every jump, no trick tai throws is the same, so much style and He's adding a lot to comps. 208
