As sad as it sounds, it is true. They hope to bring it back again for 2013.

not surprised.. I went to KOS with a friend a few years back and it was kinda ridiculous, kevin rolland won if I remember correctly.. the name doesn't really fit the event... was definitely fun. but freestyle.ch is still the best.

Yep, I agree. I looked forward to all those fresh edits, which were usually quite stylish

Any city big air thing is a joke. Maybe 1 or 2 a year is fine, but get rid of most of them.

LOL. I remember one year everybody was loving it because Richard Permin won with a Switch 720 tail, beating out TJ who did a switch 12. 2007 I believe.

if you have to fake the snow, and fake the mountain then yes, it's a joke.

Yes, but I thought the tricks being thrown were very stylish, and there was a lot of variety. Also, it looked like the athletes and fans alike were having a great time. Very positive vibe.

I went there last year and it was all around awsome, exept for the judging of course. During the comp they wrote the scores on a whiteboard and couldn´t seem to get it right. They had to redo the scores all the time.

I hate that Jon ended up with a better spot than a few others that actually stomped at least 2 of their runs (your 2 top scores were added together)
