In the qualification he basically says that gus' switch double was bad and that he shouldn't have qualified. Wtf? It seemed like he was serious about it too.

I was very disapointed by Olson comment :

1st of all it was qualification even though Gus was 4th he was qualified and his protégé Scherlin from what i have seen did not deserve it. It is too apparent that he favors Swedish.

Henrick's comment from an 18 years old guy is much more mature than Olsson. He was politically correct saying that he doesnt necessarily agree and that the important thing he was in final.

Anyway it was not the best from Henrick run.

Also his comment about TJ in a video blog is improper and TJ probably know a lot more about style than Olsson.

It's my opinion. I may not be correct if it was a joke from Olsson.

alright, that was not the whole qualifier. the format was THREE jumps, one intended to be style (gus did a SICK ass switch 7 nose) one intended to be technical (most people throwing there hardest tricks), and one free to be your choice. the two top scores of your three jumps were put together. permins 7 didnt beat TJ's 12, permins switch 7 and switch 10 beat Tjs rodeo 5 and 12. also, Tj was a judge and 2 other swedish dudes. permin was a competitor, but he was prequalified, he only judged the video qualification, not the actual contest.

and yes, i shouldnt have been standing in the landing area. i went before us and was pumped on landing my double, and talking to wallisch. my mind was elsewear.

"there was a couple of doubles with no grabs, shitty landings running into the fence and thats just not okay"

So he calls out t.j.s judging, which jon of all people should know that it is hard enough to judge and he calls out someone nearly half his age.

I made this thread before the other threads, including jon's.

Cosco: these kids are talking out of their asses. You didn't do wrong by standing where you were.
