I couldn't agree more.  Giray is much more of a competition skier compared to Ahmet.  Ahmet seems more like the video segment type skier to me compared to Giray.  And then Schlopy is also a really really good competition skier.  That kid is impressive.

Yeah I thought Schlopy would be in for sure. 5th? at Aspen Open and 1st VTO, why not put him in? The kid can land his run better every time he does it.

Can anyone confirm that Ahmet got hurt? Hopefully he doesn't come down with Vanular syndrome. I want those guys healthy so they can slay it!

it's that damn patriot act. apparently he looks like a suicide bomber so they couldn't invite him. too bad though, he's sick.

yeah his rail skills are sick but I don't think he did one air in enjoy.  I have hardly ever seen him doing jumps for that matter...I'm pretty sure you have to be able to jump to get an invite.

What is up with Candide?  Is he still hurt from that big crash at the candide invitational?

he stomps misty 9's like no bodys business and has a bunch of other really solid switch tricks and grabs  - check out his realtime clip of the week
but at rails to riches he hurt his shin trying misty 630 onto a box (probably the fault of killy not putting lips up to their rails) - don't know about his knee though

Alright i watched realtime again and made sure to see all of ahmets hits and i feel like a jackass for agreein w/ that kid. Ahmet throws down hard, i would looove to see him in slopestyle and its a shame he wont be there. The same is true for wallisch.

eh, that and the fact that its hard to keep up with the euro kids as compared to ahmet and tom when they are so popular on this site, ahmet is getting alot of coverage from freeskier lately, those names like espen and oscar just dont come up as much round here.

Schlopy should not have been overlooked based on his Competition results.  X Games would do themselves really well to include Alex Schlopy. 



Tom and Ahmet seem to be more segment driven but yeah, it would be great to see them and some other up and comers included.
