I'm interested to know who the judges are for ski slopestyle. How they are selected? Also do they use the same judges from xgames? Or is it now with the Olympic sanctioning body. And they provide the judges.
Just curious because it seems recently style is becoming important in winning. With the recent Henrik wins. He's been killing it for years now and he Finally won a slopestyle gold. Seems long over due. I'm wondering what the olympics will be like. Will it be style over robot like movements. I'm super stoked to watch. The course definately lends itself to the most flowy and creative rider. Which is Henrik in a nutshell. But a guy like geopper who is very technical and doesnt exude a lot of style hasn't been winning as of lately. I'd say a good mix between those two would be Oystein Braten. Very technical and stylish too. Henrik is at the peak of his ability. After peaking for the last decade! We will see if he can carry that! He deserves it.
On a side note is tom wallisch done with slope for good? And if so I really like him commentating. Hes far better than luke v. I think recently luke v has gotten carried away. And developed almost this pretenious annoying personality on screen. Case in point. The real ski episode. Where he and other industry pros went over the videos and he interviewed the skiers and filmers. He was pretty douchie. So let's hope Tom is comentating the olympics.
Thanks guys
