Haha that tweet is right on the money, kinda sad yet hilarious at the same time. I hope Russ wins something next season to break this curse.

stoked for vinnie in second, his dub bio octo is at least as cool as the dub 7 imho. and russ got robbed hard, no way alex deserved third more than him.

People don't understand that JOI has been the leading comp for the creation of new tricks for years.

Vincent and Frej both did the most stylish doubles imo

Russ along with a few others had triple 14s last year which undoubtedly brought the score down for this year

Anyone else think it looks like Vincent's holding a giant fish in his hand?

JOI is such a great event. No doubt the best big air comp. Does anyone know what happened to Brown?

Frej Jönsson had the coolest tricks. both looked so damn cool, and adding the tail at the end of the dub 9 was so sick. I wanted to see russ somewhere farther up the list, but at the same time, those who won deserved it. Great comp as always

see i think Frej should have won. those tricks were absolute innovations of technicality and style. plus, they were so carved out, the rotation patterns wouldn't have been possible otherwise. that shit was crazy.

you know shits gotten crazy when the "style trick" is a double cork.

I agree. I feel as though his trick is much harder than a dub 16 and looks so much better. Probably not harder than a triple though.
