First of all, getting 5th places in events like the dew tour is excellent. Also, he probably gets bigger contracts for doing both. A 5th places counts probably more for most companies than the shots he could have added to a video part while filming a bit more.

Doing three safety grabs is just as bad as doing three mutes in my mind. Style isn't about riding around like you have sand in your pants. Yes the double flat was extremely sick. But it looked like he slipped off the first rail a bit early. For me, style is about making tricks look easy and being relaxed when your skiing. Bobby and russ are the epitome of that.

get ready for a shitstorm.

IMO style is doing tricks differently, bobby and russ  stomp their tricks every time but it all look the same.

I used to be a fan of bobby's slope style runs, but they all look identical. Theres a TON of talent, but no creativity. I like watching a run that keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time and stunned that the person actually put all the tricks to his feet by the end. Henriks run did just that. He threw tricks NO ONE else was doing, and I feel that should count for something in comps, not to mention the difficulty was off the charts

I can't believe you guys think that run lacked technical difficulty....what the fuck are you guys talking about?

first of all, the only feature he wasn't straight up next level on was the second rail.

As far as this sw 9 not cutting it.....well, it was a rightside sw 9, the axis was fucked and it wasn't "just a safety grab", it was the newly debated method/lobster/tweaked safety that is a hell of a lot more difficult and unique then simply sucking knees up and grabbing under the boot. For a comparison, it's not like he was doing a whiskey flip boot grab because that's all he could manage like some guys do, that shit was the definition of purposeful.

The tap on the third jib was fucking money and took more control than hucking a misty 4 or six out like most of the comp guys do.

The second jump was pretty much a brand new rotation. Never seen that trick in a comp, and other than Harlaut and Vinnie G, I don't think there's anyone else that could've pulled off a belly down, head down the hill "dub rodeo"....that rotation doesn't even have a fucking name. That was by far the most impressive jump trick thrown all day, by any standard. Calling it a dub rodeo 10, as if it was the trick John Spriggs, Jon and Jacob were doing in fucking 07 is a joke.

The reason Henrik didn't score better is simple, he came off the rail early on the nose butter 4 disaster, and landed squirrely on the rt sw 9, and it sort of looked like he meant to do something else on the second rail. Plainly stated, his execution wasn't quite flawless enough...had it been, he easily would've cracked 90.

 I think he was scored fairly personally, so I agree in that respect, but you guys shitting on his tech diff are high. That rt sw 9 with the axis and the grab is arguably a MORE tech trick than a dub cork 10 mute. The funny thing is, more rotation doesn't always automatically mean a harder trick. For example, when the sw 10 phenom was popping off, I heard several guys claim sw 9 is actually more difficult.

I agree with almost all of this.  But I really feel that he would've scored better if he had added a true tail grab to his dub 12.  He knew that he was doing the same grab for the whole jump section, why not change it up just a tad?

Henrik is a really weird kid I've heard, it's kind of just his personality I guess. Don't hate on him for that, its not like hes trying to be really awkward and crazy but he's probably kind of nervous and excited and not english.

I loved his run, but my favourite jump in the comp is a tie between the double rodeo thing or bobby's dub 10, it was so sick and different then what you would expect from bobby.

Exactly. It was NOT a dub rodeo or dub flat.. but it was definitely the best and weirdest rotation for a dub i've seen. If he brings that trick along with the bio 14 he did at x last year, he could seriously win big air (barring the triple movement, which I'm honestly looking forward to) at x this year.

I think they should only allow two dubs in a comp... this would force the other guys throwing 3 to be a little more creative with their runs.  I'm pretty sure no one else can throw that 9 HH threw with that kind of axis... shit was SICK
