Less then 24 hours away until this contest starts up. Who do you have winning it all? David wise for me is going to take the gold easily.

God damn Jossi is good. First dub was so high out of the pipe.

Jossi can hold some of those grabs a bit longer but that run was damn near perfect, if he doesn't podium I'm gunna be so upset.

Rolland needs to throw an unnatty dub in there and he could win this.

On another note, the BBC commentary is hilarious. The phrases they are using are just out there.

Rolland does 5 hits in that run, 2 on the left wall which were underwhelming... first place!!!

I'm thinking it's a disadvantage going later. The pipe is slower and filling up with a shit ton of snow as compared to the beginning.

anyone else watching on NBC notice the twitter feed from the "Experts" comes in faster than feed. IE you can see scores before the runs done, what a spoiler!

How the hell does Dorey get up from those slams?! Always taking it hard as fuck, winning run for sure if he can put it to his feet.

Anyone else think Wise's run was a bit sloppy? It was ridiculously good but some really shaky looking landings. Unlike Jossi cough cough.

I hope so god damn much that Justin can land he's second run. It will surely bring him e gold/silver medal.

I still can't believe how he slammed the deck 3 times in X-games and still stood up.

Otherwise I would be pretty happy if the podium turned out the way it is now. Dave and Kevin up there is kind of what we are expecting, and Jossi at bronze would be so awesome!

I think the judging has been pretty much on-point up to now. I'm pretty confused about what they're looking for at this point.
