if hatvveit gets back from his injury, i think he will win slope this year too. pipe is gonna be between dumont and tanner and big air is probably gonna be jon as always. exactly the same as last year i think

Slope will be the biggest battle ever seen. So excited to watch that... anybody could win. Andreas has a good chance again, Jossi is solid, Tanner trains so hard that he wouldn't be surprising either... Prob tanner again in the pipe but I wouldn't be surprised if a dark horse came in either.

i sow some videos from New Zeland  of Dumont and Tanner and believe they got tricks that no body have and it will be a epic battle betwen those two in halfpipe. In slopestyle i`d like that Colby West win :D

Pipe: Tanner, Dumont or J Bone
Slope: Anyone
Big Air: PK Hunder or Jacob Wester if theyre invited

Does anyone know if Big Air is only going to have 4 competitors again?

So has everyone ruled out Tanner as a possible Slopestyle contender?  I think he's kind of good at it...

JUSTIN DOREY anyone
no one talk about dorey but i think he's killing everybody in the pipe right now
he's got perfect double and all his tricks both sides forward and backward

so i'm claiming that we'll get a surprise in the pipe this year

my thoughts exactly... the early footage i've seen of him over the summer was ridiculous. Stoked to see him kill it this year.

I second that my man. Keep your eyes on J-Bone in pipe.

For slope, I'd prefer not to claim anyone because everyone is so damn good that anybody could win it (and it always depends on how the course is set up), but definitely watch out for Tom, Sammy (he's arguably more hungry for X-Games gold than anyone) and TJ...the comeback.

TJ has been one of my favorite skiers for like the last 4 years, but i think slopestyle may have passed him by in the last couple years...especially considering he just started riding again after being out for 10 months and if he wanted to have a chance in slope he'd have to catch up soooooooo much

but who knows!? i know ive seen him throw down at breck and obviously he's freaky good at jumps, so if he comes back hard he might have a shot, but i doubt he'll podium unfortunately.

Is Dorey gets everything he can do in pipe in one run (double, sw 10 both ways) then he would be unstoppable, just weather he can keep his speed up the whole run. But id put my money on Tanner in pipe just cause everthing he does in soooo perfect. And in slope, i think it depends on the jump size a bit, like if the jumps were smaller size and loads of rails henrik would have a sick chance cause he could get super tech an prob sw 14 them even if they were on the smaller size, and if he jump are big (hopefully) i think itl be a double game, so jossi, andreas, jon an that...

I cant choose exact placings but top 3 in pipe are for sure tanner, dorey and dumont.

Top 4 in slopestyle are Wallisch, Henrik, Jossi, and Sammy if he puts down a run

does russ henshaw have a spot? i'd rather see someone else win, but i'd bet on him. he's got solid cab 10s both ways, the double-corks, and the spin-to-win on rails.

dude youre rediculous he didnt even say he liked dumont he just said he thought he was gonna win pipe
just because you and 80% of ns dont like dumont doesnt mean that anyone who thinks hes gonna win is sucking his dick
personally i think again it will be dumont and tanner in pipe maybe jossi he was killin it at the end of the year
slopestyle should be a bit of a free for all as most people have said andreas sammy jossi could be anyone
