Replying to Matt Walker and The X Games
I am curious if anyone else finds it odd that Matt Walker has not been invited to the X Games as of now. Before I present my case, please do not interpret this as hate on any athlete that has been included, I believe they are all quite talented. Walker has made made the finals for the past 2 years (I believe 3 but could not find data to support that), and has placed higher each year he competes. I know that AFP points from the previous year have some consideration in the decision, but I think its odd they would not include a consistent finalist. His rails skills are way on point and his air style is killer. Depending on the amount of support people show here, I plan on making a pitch to the competition committee. Yes, I know I have little to no say in the matter, but I believe if they saw a large backing from the community that follows the slopestyle event the most it may help. Everyone voted him to Sweden last year, lets see if we can bring back to Aspen. Plus hes a local boy! This isn't supposed to be a rant, I simply enjoy his skiing and think hes a great athlete. If you disagree there is no need for snide remarks, simply move on. Thanks for your time, and I hope you all have a great season.
