Rightside/unnat at X

Jon- right five and a sick switch right cork 7 (not sure if that's how that should be said?).

Gagnier- switch left rodeo 7, opp mute?

Tanner- right 5 into switch right 7.

It was super sick to see unnatural tricks in every podium run. Actually, what's interesting is that Tanner and Jon both did two rightside tricks, and Gagnier only did one leftside.

But Gag's left sw rodeo 7 was HUGE. AND STYLIE. But yeah, if Jon wouldn't have fallen he would have won in my mind. Tanner sketched out on every landing on the second run, so I don't really see where those extra 2.5 points came from.. Sick competition any way you look at it.

People should definitely drop this leftside-rightside shit and just say opposite. There's way too many fucking words for it when opposite makes complete sense to most half-way intelligent people.

To me it looked like Hall didnt go as big as he could have, Tanner was speed cheking a little bit too much, but that shit happens.

Gagnier charged all the jumps. I would have had a hard time putting olsson at 3. I really dont think the judges understand railslides that well. They prob have no idea what a lipslide is on skis, nor do they recognize a tailslide/press. I wonder who the judges were??

That is so dope that Gagnier took that shit!

Judges: Rory Will, Thomas Rinfret and other former/injured skiers. Yeah, they know NOTHING about rails.

ya, jon's unnaty 270 on was so sick.

spinning unatty onto rails is so much harder than sliding unnaty. at least for me it is
