I'm sorry but Simon will not win, he just doesn't have the tricks. The fact that he's one of the orginators of halfpipe skiing will not change that fact, he'll probably be in the top ten, but torin, david wise, kevin rolland, justion dorey, noah bowman and mike riddle all have better tricks. So unless each and everyone mentionned fails to land their run, i dont see how that could happen.

That'll happen when you're consistently boosting 53 feet outta the pipe...

cheering for Wise and Dumont.

I think Wise has the best chance of winning.

This is the first I've heard of him.  And no disrespect meant by that in the least.  I just check out for the summer months

hes already got two doubles in his run, has got an alleyoop ten pretty well dialed, and was working on a switch dub 10 last year. if he adds those to his run which already includes a very solid dub 12 and dub 9. he will have an alleyoop 10, dub 12,, dub 9 and a switch dub 10. that sounds like a fucking nasty run to me.

plus he may learn something else too, dont count out simon, he works too hard to be counted out.
