It doesn't make sense to me that people are calling out Henri's landings but not Zak's. Yes, Henri's are sloppy, but not that much more than Zak's (other than one or two true backslaps); Zak's landings are really pizza'd and really rub me the wrong way, despite my love of his in-air style.

Nico's was sick, it'd be interesting to see a young gun hanging out with the older finalists.

Is it just me or are the semi-finalists not that impressive this year? If I remember correctly pretty much every one of them blew me away last year, and this year their kinda meh with the exception of a couple.

Totally the opposite for me. I was stoked on almost every one of these, more so than most of the finalists last year.

Definitely agree with you on this one. I recall the past two years in particular several of the semi-finalists could have easily been in finals as well. Makes me curious to see who made finals this year.

JOSH WONG for president. But seriously, he absolutely slays. He does tricks on urban features that most really good skiers couldnt even do in the park.

He does look really small. I really liked his style though.

Vegard's music did not fit his edit at all. Completely ruined it for me. I think that track would've been more appropriate at my grandma's water aerobics class than in a superunknown video.

No, they shrunk him for the video. Apparently being smaller = more steez.

Swadburg deserved it, but i can't be the only one who thought Kazakovs was weak. I feel like he just did the same stuff over and over.

I dunno what it was, but I wasn't impressed. I understand not everyone can hit urban and yeah his style was above average but I feel like we see that shit every day? Maybe i just need to watch it again. He basically got picked because he will do well at the superunknown shoot.
