Jespers run was nice. Also Bellamere killed it with his run for sure.

Whaattt that's a pretty low score for Jesper I thought. I hope he qualifies and places in the finals.

Why wouldn't you? Maybe he just wants to see his run. The follow cam guy is for the livestream.

Jesper is only 120lbs. I know this feel.

Sometimes cameramen with big set ups and some with GoPro. Why are they flopping around?

Will someone explain to me what the judges keep seeing in Joss' runs? I'm not trying to bash him in any way, but I just don't see whatever the judges are seeing that keeps knocking him to podium positions.

Only if Jesper could have landed that off the moneybooter. That was looking like a great run.

I think Jesper's first run should have had him qualifying. Too bad, I wanted to see him in the finals.

I'm predicting triples from the guys that hasn't gone yet. After seeing people get shafted like that on perfectly good runs, they are obviously only looking for those aerials.
