my prediction is that henrik is gonna do a bio 12 blunt and the judges are not going to give him the props for it because its not a dub and its going to spark 230952734 threads on here about it.

After Jossi's performance last year, I feel like it's going to be between him, Bobby, and Russ.

I want to see Bobby drop a trip, even if it's not steezy it would be ill to see him do one.

If Jossi can preform like he did last year he have a big chance of winning in my book. Also Henrik can deliver insane tricks with lethal style. But they have tough opponents and anyone can take it.

How big is the jump?

It'll be Russ or Sammy I reckon....

Someone should throw a giant triple Backie though.... just because that's what won it last night!

My money is on Dumont doing that, or a triple Fronty... and then winning...

Bobby with a sw dub misty and a forward triple rodeo. OR Sammy with a sw dub misty and a sw triple rodeo.

I don't see how someone who is just doing the same old double corks will win, and I don't know who else has something different.

Kinda small for a true trip cork on skis (not a trip backie)

Henshaw nearly stomped that trip cork 16 in the way i see it, and that jump was like 115 to sweet spot.....

cause it would be probably too big for the boarders and espn favour snowboarders so we can't have it the way we want, an Aleyska size kicker would be ideal, there would probably be 4 triples if it were. GUs, Russ, Bob and Sammy C

I hope it isnt a triple fest. I know people want to see them, but on a jump that small they will just look horrible. Sammy's is the only attempt thus far that I haven't said "wow, that looked hucked", and all of them have been on bigger jumps than this, with WAY more pop. This jump looks a bit flat comparatively. But I will have to agree that Bobby is going to be there just because no one else seems to throw the switch dub misty well. But man, Jossi's landings last year were just insane. I mean, like he went off a 5 foot kicker...
