Although the official song sucks & the world champs happen at the same time as X Games, some big names are on the list.

Who will win?

Pretty much this.

Someone said before Worlds are just a repechage and their starter's list a collection tank of drop outs who didn't make the cut for X games. Out of those I'd also look at Russ for the males and Katie seems pretty unrivalled among the females as long as Kelly does not start.

It was pretty fucking monotonous and Til Matti got shafted... once again, rails count for 0.

Fuck FIS... (and believe me, I never thought I'd be saying this but) Bring on the XGames.

so much THIS.

I still can't believe how much Till got shafted. I'm going to go ahead and say that wasn't the FIS judges fault tho. That is the problem with judging in general. (the trick was a LIP nosebutter 2, pretz 2 on a DFD)...

When people do absurd rail (or air/grab) tricks that have never been done in contests before, they go unnoticed. Then, after many people cry foul, judges will change in time for someone else to do it and Till will get no credit.

Rest assured, Till is playing SLVSH soon so the wild shit he comes up with will be recognized somewhere.

Totally agree, but surely if skiing has to be a judged sport, the very minimum standard for judging should be guys that understand how hard the tricks are?

Lip nose butter 270? Gotta see a video of that. Can't even really picture it in my head. Was it a disaster? I can kinda picture that.

Craziness.

Considering his fall on run number one Boesch threw down. Would love to see him have a go at X Games Big Air. Seems to have a tonne of tricks in his locker.

Noah Wallace switch dub 14 attempt was sick too.

Not a bad contest
