It's gonna be the same as always...a DFD, a down tube donkey dick, and downbox donkey dick.

Rider list anyone? The killington rail jam gave spots to Jackie and Colin Becker. I tweeted Ktown the other day for one but they didn't get back to me.

Nate Haust will win snowboarding for sure, kid fucking kills it....for skiers, besides all the PC guys, id love to see some east coasters make the podium, haggerty and franchino should both have a good shot if they ski well...and good luck to anyone trying to out tech Sam Putnam, kid is an animal on rails and could win the whole damn thing if he skis as well as ive seen him ski!

All of this. Nate is a thugslayer. Franchino definitely has a chance, Sam is almost on Will Wesson's level of being tech. Would be great to see YMR and friends get on the podium.

I think it's 3, and if so, it was 3 in a row...and more importantly, I believe, it was ever time he entered.

I don't think he's won every time, I think he won two years in a row though, not three. Pretty sure, I could be wrong though.

have you done a switch lip 2 before. or put your skis in opposite directions and gone lip onto a rail. Dom had both creativity, technicality and he made everything look easy. Kutcher had some bangers but did he take many risks or try to do something that hadnt already been done in every other railjam, not really. In my opinion dom should have won the past 2 years.

lol wut thats like saying tom shouldnt have won xgames slopestyle because the tricks he did he's already done them before, but since other people have done them, the difficulty and perfection of his run shouldn't count.

Of course he can switch lip 2 you noob. Also I don't find it impressive when Dom Laporte goes to ski rails to riches every year and does the same fucking trick. Some one has to say it, but sw lip 2 gets really redundant when its his route to the podium at every rail jam ever. Also that crossover ski thing was pretty much the switch lip version of a rollerblade trick. Hardly creative. It was his attempt at making his switch lip fetish more interesting.
