Hope this gets the media spotlight that snowboarding halfpipe got. Tonight will be just as good if not better! Actually we all know who sends the biggest anyway- but the rest of the world needs to realize....

Idk what you guys think but I thought TYW crushed his first quali run, and ferreira did too but he missed a tail grab pretty badly and then got a 92 over Torins 89. Judging just continues to be so inconsistent. I thought they were pressing hard on locking in the grabs on halfpipe but maybe i missed something on Torins first run.

tonight will be a show. best of 3 is the best format. I cannot wait!
torin is likely the ns favorite. but I think wise is still the one to beat. do either rolland or riddle have a shot at breaking up a USA sweep?

Hard to say, he definitely had more amplitude but Nico's run was more techy. 96 definitely feels high to me

yea I dunno if he deserved such a huge increase in score for the same run only cleaned up a tiny bit. I would have put him just below Nico with a 94 or something

Wise's X Games run would, I assume, beat it, notwithstanding that they seem to be scoring things a bit higher here. There's really no way to deny gold to a run with all 4 doubles.

Other than that, yeah, I don't know. Torin's last run, had he not fallen on his last hit, would've been a 93ish for me, but so would Ferreira's run that got a 96, so I guess you never know.

I don't think anyone else in the comp has a run that can get to 95.

He traded in a regular switch right 7 for a switch right double... that's a bit more than just cleaning it up. Plus he grabbed his airs cleanly and went much bigger, I say it's a legit score.

Honestly I think he just felt he threw down the best run he could and was happy with it, regardless of if that meant giving up the gold. Respect
