Agreed on woodsy being underscored, he held his octo pretty much all the way and stayed 100% composed.

Fabian naming the trick “spitfire” makes me wish someone else had landed it. Props nonetheless.

One thing I liked was that at the end of the broadcast they closed it out with the song from J.P.s All I Can segment

He's also acting like its still a thing to name a trick after you do it, when the last person I can remember doing that is when Jon had the big hype about his "Tornado" which was a sw dub 12, needless to say the name did not catch on.

Park_Ranger-Really stoked that Henrik won. I wish Khai would have made the podium, his skiing was really clean tonight.
-The triple 1980 and triple 1800, though not my steeze of choice, were insane in there own right.
-Henrik's speech was on point. Old format was way better. Deeper field is obviously more entertaining and it brings out a bigger bag of tricks.
-A couple of those kids should not have been in that comp. Instead it should have been Alex Hall, Vinnie $, Gus, idk lots of dudes

Super true. Future spin is not my cup of tea, yet insane to see. Would have been awesome to see some guys that can slow down time and break physics. Some true big air guys. The format is wrong and right in its own way I feel. Bobby brown won on two sw misty 14s back in the day. It prevents a same trick double up scoring wise. But op spin should be switched to just make it two different tricks. Judging may get a little more tech when it comes down to a grab or something specific like that, but would definitely bring out more creativity. Thumbs up once again Park ranger for telling it how it is.

Bobbys was a 12 and he then took it to 14. I don’t think you could ever have two identical tricks count
