It would definitely be awesome for Simon to win, he's been working so hard towards it.

Your question points to an incredible nature of our sport - five months from now someone could progress with a great run that is unbeatable. It changes so fast that who can know. I would be interested to see a poll on this now versus the week before the event.

Does anyone know if JPV has enough competition points to make the French (?) team and compete? I'd be fucking stoked just to watch him ski.

If Torin had a leftside double he would be almost a sure shot for gold, I really want him to win but the judges have a hard-on for back to back opposite doubles. (don't get me wrong, they're insanely gnarly, I just get bored, I like TYW back to back flatspins better)

Maybe if you didn't use initials some people may know who the fuck you're talking about...

I understand your kid's needing to sound cool by using initials because like, you're on the inside, you just know, but not everyone is versed in EVERY SINGLE SKIER'S FULL NAME.

Anyways, Joffrey Pollet Villard.

And I'll admit, my mind always combines his two last names into Pollard. DAMN YOU FOR HAVING THAT LAST NAME ERIC.

Black face mask... 25 feet out of the pipe... only drops in to "Paint it Black"... ring a bell?

Anyway, I think Wise and Torin will both be in contention for gold, and it would be fuckin' dope to see Simon podium. Fact check me on this, but I'm pretty sure he's been in the game longer than any other skier who'll drop into pipe in Sochi.

There's also no doubt in my mind that some dark horses will have some nutty new tricks to surprise us with. I'm still really stoked about Noah Bowman's almost all-switch run that got 2nd at X Games a few years ago. Best of luck to Dorey and Riddle too, it'd be sick to see those guys put good runs down.

Torin Yayer-Walish. Here's a weird morphed photo that is a total failure.
