In my opinion who ever didn't do a switch 10 won the comp even if it was a gay big comp the fact that pep knew he wasn't going to win the comp by throwing a switch 7 takes huge balls i mean seriously i don't think i could do that. Just my 2 cents worth no need worth commenting

If I was in that situation I probably wouldnt bother doing switch 10 because so many of them get done that it's just a crap shoot for who wins. What ever one the judges liked most and ussually their opinion on that is off. I'd be like... 180!

do not forget jacob wester, his switch 7 had the most crazy grab, even though he did fall.

Yes. How can you all say the 1440 was good and then dissaprove of this. They are both bad.
Please stop spinning guys.

westers grab was tight
obviously we all loved rorys double back.
i honestly expected to see a switch zero or maybe an old school trick, like a daffy 360

someone should just take full speed and jump to flat from the jump with a double true nose 180.

HELL YEAH!!!
Someone with the balls to do a 180 would be the sickest thing ever...
It won a snowboarding comp... since we pose on snowboarding so much, why can't we pose on that?

the 1440 was cool because no one at the open even tried it, everyone and there mother was doin 1080s at the x games so it made it boring, jon shoulda done one of those super style shifty 180s where he gets his skis around at the last 10th of a second

okay you people are suuuuuuuuuuch hypocrites im getting pissed.
you liek the 1440 and you defend it yet you dont like swithc 10's do you NOT REALIZE ITS THE EXACT SAME THING :| im goign to cry RIGHT NOW.
this is the reason skiing has spin to win , because YOU LIKE IT. stop bitching spin to win exists becuase of peolpe exactly like you.
the 1440 is a contest for who can spin the most SO IS THE SWITCH TEN . exact same contest. swithc 10's EVERYWHERE one guy busts out a swithc 14 and you like it? do you not realize what your saying yoru saying spin to win sucks i hatw spoin to iwn im gunna go stab judges, OH BUT spin to win is utterly sick if its a 1440 instead of a ten ,
fuck .
im so pissed goodbye , i thikn im guna go seclude myself on an island to avoid blowing my veigns in my body.
i woudl liek to throw htis out there. you are all so dumb. use your brain.
if this was a video game i would call you n00b and ban you form my server permanently. you shame skiing.
figure this out. why do you liek the switch 1440 and not the 10 cause youve sene to many , well jsut wait youll get plenty of 1440's if this shit doesnt sotp right now. do you even realize a swithc 10 and a swithc 14 loks the same? its actually just YOU telling yourslef WOW a 14? who cares what the trick is take al ok at how it looks. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I totally agree, isn't snowboarding taking the turn for more style less huck? I think its a good move cause some of those sw 7's were so sick, I missed all the first runs but someone threw a huge cork3... thats super sick in my opinion

Just wait for the sw 1800... I'm sure someone is going to do it.
I will have a heart attack and die with rage when that goes down.

yea we can spin more snowbaorders can do 1800 but WHY dont they them , becuase its such an understood fact that spinning more does not mean good.
( even thgou hthis x games sean white won wiht a 3 10's or somehitng ., they all looks liek 10's they were all ridiculus , the x games is a joke , the fact that sean white won also pissed me off.

Yes. If we keep this up, we will soon be aerialists.
Honestly. If you want to go watch someone spin a bunch theres many places to do that. Including ice skating and such.
Skiing is about flow, style, originality and fun. So why are the competitions and apparently the skiers and viewers so stubborn about showing that in our competitions?
Originality, flow, creativity, style.
These should be the 4 categories.
I dont even think the difficulty is relevant to tell you the truth.

I think someone should have zero spun that jump just to spite the switch 10's. I would have given who ever did that 1st.

well I didnt see the footage of the US open big air, but if it was a 1080 fest then I would say "hell yea 1440"... it all depends but that was the gayest most cookie cutter big air Ive seen to date... pep went huge and gagnier prolly shoulda won...

SERIOUSLY!!!! How the fuck have more have you not called this out??? Dumonts 7 truck driver was one of the illest things ive ever seen. Imagine on a bigger jump, if Dumont would throw switch cork 10 truck drivers. Would be the ILLEST THING EVER.

i don't like how they were doing all tens either but i think that sponsorship has something to do with it. the x games is thebiggest competition of the year with the biggest audience any pro skier willever get and the general public likes to see them doig the biggest thing they can and when they see them repping some companys stuff theyll probably be better off with sponsors. though most sponsors should be focusing more on the real skiing part of it.

lolo's switch 7's remain the only trick that sends chills down my back for 3 years in a row. the man in indestructible, he doesnt use the landing whatsoever
