i think it's a flowier run than what you had mentioned earlier. He does have another trip, it would be rad to see him do them back to back.

The 3 Canadians are bringing out the brooms!

The judging isn't as consistent as I'd like, but I'm stoked that style and the rails actually being factored into the scores.

If he pulls off a perfect run and throws that, he will win.

No one throws a triple on a throw-away run. Insane. Speaks to his confidence with the trick.

These second runs will be a pressure-cooker. Most of the big guns fail on their first.

looks like triples are doable on the first jump.


trip dub trip is certain, if a 3x triple is put down id say that will take it.

not that this idea is a new one, but parrot's triple off the first jump looked like shit. I can't say for sure but it seems like a triple back w/ half spin (trip rodeo 12er) is so much more so appeasing trends than it is truly more difficult than a sayy cork 12 w/ dub grab

I honestly think they're not counting properly. I mean he had a little hand drag on one but it's still two triples...

Man I guess you have to give the judges some cred for their stamina. I wouldn't be able to fuck BOTH Mcmorris and Sven Thorgren that hard.

I'm glad Sage won, kid's got sick style, but the judging was so fucking terrible I can't believe it. So many riders were underscored.

Maybe. He raised his hands in the air after the first rail, so I guess he wasn't as clean as he would've wanted to be or didn't get an extra rotation out or something like that. Damn Parrot got screwed. Maybe not a winning run, but defs a podiu in my opinion. Shit was so stylish, like Wallisch disguised as a snowboarder

Parrot got screwed.  Judging was a bit wack for the most part but Sage's grabs were the best, even if the tricks weren't necessarily...

Jamie Nichols was saying (on the BBC) he came out the wrong way off the first rail (regular instead of switch I think) and then just thought he'd have fun.  Surely he could of done the same jump line as before but score wouldn't of improved.

Sage winning with that kind of run is what the majority of ns has been asking judges for forever, creativity and style finally rewarded over technicality...

The canadians really seem to have gotten screwed on the judging thats for sure, Mcmorris knew that he deserved better than an 88.5

fuck ya'll complaining about the judging.

This is exactly what everyone wanted, awesome smooth grabs and "smaller" rotations. And now everybody bitches that the triple should have won.

Fuck that, go sage! Did not expect to see him on the podium much less with the gold.

sucks for Goepper. If this judging is consistent with skiing then there's no way he'll podium.

Jossi for gold!
