I know the concerned parties' identities, which are evidence enough for a conflict of interest.. At least that's how reality operates.. Maybe if I knew their favorite colours I'd be better positioned to comment on the situation though..


But as long as you say so.

Yeah, there was only 10min left when it was dying though, you didn't miss too much. Jamie and I will have a full article up soon.


For those saying it's fixed, trust me when I say LJ won, there was no questioning it. Only guy to rodeo out of the close-out (and he did it with a frontswap to rodeo and a sw 2 to rodeo), blind 3up cont 2 on the dfd...nothing but bangers can from LJ. Giray was out for blood, everything he did was huge and Stepp was super smooth and consistent all night (except for a little run in with the close-out). I honestly can't think of a different podium than what it was.

Yeah cause there were a lot of other riders there who had potential to podium. Not trying to hate, just i know some of the competitors trained so hard to podium, and it sounds like your stoked obviously. I would be also. Just dont take away the efforts made by others by making it sound like it was so easy. It could have been won by anyone tonight.

Either way stoked for LJ for taking the win, and super stoked for giray. Deserves so much credit his game is crazy. Cant wait to see footage.

When LJ did his first rodeo out of the closeout, my friend said to him as he was walking by "do it again I missed it". LJ was just like, alright, and front swapped rodeo out next hit ahahaha.

That's not true, Giray also flipped out of the closeout. Switch 2 on misty/rodeo 630 out. That shit is insane, I'm definitely anxiously awaiting videos.

Any edits from qualifiers, or of any of the other skiers/riders? That edit was banger, well besides the music, but I wanna see some of the other tricks that went down from other people.
