Any1 want to explain to me how Nick Geopper isn't on that list? How does second place at Breck Dew Tour not warrant you a spot? And why is Jacob Wester in both slope and big air lol? I know he had like enough points from AFP to get him in the first round of invites, but frankly I don't see him even getting close to the podium in either event, I feel like someone else deserves his spot...

Russ Henshaw needs to be in big air. He's one of only a few to land triples and he could actually win it (unlike Henrik)

I agree that LJ should be invited, and hopefully he will be in the next round of athletes. But don't downplay Jacob just because he's been in the game for so long. He's still young and is an amazing skier.
