The Mistery of J. Olsson

I just watched again the videos from the slopestyle finals of the X-Games on EXPN's site and I realised of the mistery of J. Olsson...

How is it possible that he never wins this major comps? more exactly, how is it possible that tanner and gagnier beated him on the X? I love Tanner's style, and Gagnier skis really well and spins both ways perfectly... maybe it's me, But Jon's run is just A LOT better, so smooth, perfect tricks, perfect landings, perfect style, the only think he doesn't stomps is the first flat-down box, but then he does a PERFECT 270 on the rail, and then he just stomps everything, While tanner doesn't stomp the 450 on 270 off and then he doesn't do as good as jon in the jumps (at the bottom one he puts his hands down on a s10 a lot worse than jon's). ...
I'm not an olsson's fan, I just think that if you watch those 3 runs, he should win and he never does...

you guys obviously didnt watch this when it happened. jon threw his better run first, then fell on his last run. meanwhile gagnier and hall stomped their final runs. tv is all about creating drama, and if it's close (like it was), the more 'clutch' run will always get the nod. its not right but that's how it goes.. how its always been at x games. im sure jon realizes this by now

Thank god someone said it.

Jon being comfortable has NOTHING to do with the other competitors. If he performed better, he should win. In my opinion, he outperformed everyone. I have NEVER seen runs as smooth as his in the X Games. Never. 3rd place was a major slap in the face.

Isn't the point to make everything look effortless?

when jon landed his sw 10 you double checked to make sure it wasnt a 7

that sums up why he doesnt win

if carrots got you drunk rabbits would be fucked up
