People will throw trips, it will be sick. However, I desperately want to see a

DOUBLE CORK 12 TRUE NOSE

in the worst way. Please someone, do one of your 'stock' dub 12s and GRAB THAT NOSE!

Henrik will do the first ever butter triple bio lobsta. He will take it all the way to flat. So ']['echnine.

The jump looks awful. So damn flat, there won't be enough ups for a triple unless someone absolutely mobs into it.

That being said I'm sure someone will huck double 16 or something like that. bobby will probably do switch double misty... Henrik will do some fucked up axis and grab 14 or something..

It will be fun to watch.

the boarders tonight were all over the place. two triples were landed. both super deep. and then there were some boarders who never spun over 9. should be interesting to see how the skiers compare

Well, looking at training interviews and general feeling...

Henshaw doesn't like the jump and I'm pretty sure he won't try the tripple.

BBrown finds it a bit small.. Im guessing he will throw his usual double misty 14 to 16.

Elias seems pretty stoked on the jump. He will try the tripple for sure and might actually be one of the few landing one. Favorite of the night for me.

Kai Malher might try the tripple as well and could surprise a few people.

it will be some one like elias or bobby winning with a trip 14 and it will look average. dont think there will be any 16s.

I want to see a double rodeo 12 like how Halldor Lobster Flips, a flat 3/450 kind of rotation to tweaked mute flat 9 or what ever it would end up as out.

Someone will do a triple and there will be so much stoke that a stoke wave, very similar to the kamehameha wave from the original dragon ball, will be triggered and absolutely destroy the jump and likely melt the faces of all the spectators and other competitors.

Also, comp schedule says 730 for boarder slope but tv schedule says 7pm? they obviously have to do big air before slope, they cant do them at the same time. WTF IS GOING ON ESPN
