Well besides SAM HURST probably, Jf Cusson in pipe and Glen Plake in slopestyle.

But cereally Alex Schlopy will prolly take it in slope and Mike Riddle will take pipe most likely.

I don't want to sound like Im in love with the kid. but He won VTO, he tweaks grabs, stomps clean, and he's got the technical rail abilities. All I think he needs to do is work on unatty.

olenick has a shot at pipe if he stays on his feet and puts a solid run down

slope is a tossup, so much talent

can't believe nobody mentioned andreas or pk!!! can't write off gagnier too for slope.

its anybody's guess really for slope, pipe i'd say its out of simon, tanner, andreas and maybe olenick.

I have a feeling that the pipe competition is going to be really awesome, so much names came out just in this thread, and they all could throw a winning run.

Second that.  He's got the sickest bag of tricks and does them all with serious style.

alex schlopy is soo sick. he definitely can make it into the x games but hes so young right now, he will have so much more time to podium at the x games. hes 16 right? he will definitely be the best one in the x games wen hes older though

I would like to see an Andreas, Stefan Thomas, or Mike Riddle pipe podium. With Colby West in Fourth. Could care less about slope but my money will be on Sammy.

i hope riddle podiums in the pipe.
for slopestyle i dont think candide will compete (cause he broke his back last year) if he did and then landed a run then he would win but since he isnt its up for grabs. i would like to see vanular win it though or someone really random.

PK is gonna kill! I can't wait to see his X run. Colbys also going to throw it down again this year. I see Mike Clarke doing real well in this years Pipe.

yea, switch no grab, not even an attempt. I'd be stoked if the person who won put to together a tech run with grabs. aka .. mike riddle, tanner hall, stephan thomas
