it would be rediculous if bobby won both two years in a row. i think hell win one, probabley slope, but i don't think both. who ever wants to throw a triple will win big air, and i think henrik would be able to do that becuase he is smal and can spin fast.

im just hoping that someone thinks of something new to do. you have a good point though, if its a double fest than bobby has it in the bag. if a dub 12 wins x i will lose all interest in the competition scene i swear.

i think you mean.."he wears baggy clothes". Bobby has great style, take into account his legs are likely 6 inches longer than henriks, and bobby rides for a clothing company that endorses a more "functional" fit.

Pipe: Rolland
Big Air: Bene Mayr (puhhhhhlease???? I think he's the best big air skiier in the game right now after his early-season showing at comps and his BANGER segment in revolver. It might just be a longshot, but I'd be super stoked to see the young gun win it all)

It's very unlikely a dub 12 wins since a dub 16 didn't even win last year, and triple are coming into play

ya but the weather was good and everyone was really fired up. if the weather is like the first dew tour was or the jump is something to bitch about (as usual) or the athletes aren't feeding off each other then theres a good chance that it will.

I bet you cant find a shot of bobby doing anything unsmooth. You kids are so wrapped up in clothing styles its flawing your perception on the skills of the rider.

Amen brotha! I think Sammy C has a shot at big air or slope, he really wants it this season and he was so sick to watch at dew tour.

lol at most of NS giving Henrik props before that interview. and I never said Bobby wasnt as good, I just sait that Henrik has better style. I probably should have said IMO as it is my own opinion.

i dont know about you guys but for the big air i liked the setup from 2 years ago where they had a really long, reasonably flat run in where they skied between other features and hit the last jump from the slopestyle course. they had more airtime and because it was a stepdown jump the crowd could see more. i mean, as opposed to 2010 where it was just a big version of the london freeze drop in...a straight, steep line into a decent sized gap jump.

This is X-Games incase you missed the memo. Set the style tricks aside (not that I have anything against them. A vast majority of my "tricks" would be considered "style ones".). Style won't really get you an X-Games medal. Style AND Technicality along execution and other things will. Dub 12's and other Dub variations will place you good instead of cork 3's.

the jump will be nowhere big enough.  Think about the size of jumps that Bobby, Russ and Sammy needed to throw their triples.  No way that the X-Games will pony up the cash/time/energy to make something that big.  I think Andreas could podium in Big Air.  Bobby will have to find something besides his sw dub misty since I doubt the same trick will win two years in a row (unless text-voting comes back...).

I would love to see JF or Andreas podium in slopestyle.  I haven't followed enough pipe to really predict anyone, though I do want to give props to Torin for making X-Games at 15.  Kid must be insanely amped!
