Dumont's run had the best potential in pipe history IMO. I just think that next year it's too late because the others will also be mastering maybe even to switch dubs (beginning-end) in their runs.

Anyway, sick comp, everybody was pushing it and this was clearly much better than the Winter X.

Seriously?! Dumont in 4th? The judges are less use than Anne Franks drum kit. That's just insulting scoring the best pipe run we've ever seen so low! Get a fuckin grip

Its just a shame they have to mark you down so much for such a tiny error. He just barely brushed the ground on his last hits. I'm sad for Simon.

boring? he came fucking close to landing a run that included left and right dubs, a dub 12 and a sw10 all grabbed perfectly. you're a fucking idiot.

eh i thought torin deserved 3rd. he stomped the piss out of that run. but dorey should have been 1st with rolland in second. dumonts run was def hard as fuck, but when they showed the replay he hip checked and rolled onto his feet.

I swear NS is bipolar when it comes to Dumont. I think this is the first thread that mentions Simon without a shit ton of hate.

Yes, kevin makes awsome runs, it's just that he really haven't learned anything since he won his first of 4 x-games gold, and that's why I feel that he should not win, especially since Justin's first run was way better than Kevin's first run, wich he won with.

simon's run was technically on top and clearly threw down one of the best runs... just because he hit his hip on the ground he gets fourth? judges are clearly not giving out fair scores.

remember dorey didn't grab his lat hit though. runs HAVE to be penalised for missed grabs i think, its the only way to prevent the style element being lost.

kevin's run was absolutely flawless and thoroughly deserved the win. awesome comp though, there were 6/7 dudes that could have won and some serious throwing-down was done.

It's just the hipsters, Dumont has always been nuts and will always stay on top. Even I started to think it was getting boring with the whole Simon vs. Tanner bullshit and ended up on Hall's side because he got more hits in, but Simon is talented, crazy and dedicated as fuck - guys like that always need some controversy to push them onwards.

But not the first time ever such a difficult trick has been stomped in a comp, then it's okay to not do a grab in my book. but still we can't change it, it is what it is, and congrats to kevin!

he may not have learnt "new" tricks but he's still on a higher level than the others. he's added amplitude, cleanliness and there is obviously scope for him to push harder if he needs to. the run he was trying 2nd and 3rd run would be ridiculous

oh yeah, don't get me wrong, simon was KILLING it. was really impressed by his runs but yeah, with the level how it is now, if it ain't perfect it ain't podium.

its really refreshing to see so many dudes contending for the podium though. on any given day the podium at major events could comprise any 3 of about 8-10 guys in contrast to 5 years ago when the field wasn't nearly so stacked.

shame the snow looks like it will ruin slope tomorrow. then again seeing as i'll be in tignes in just over a week i don't mind too much that it's snowing!

i hate what they call a double mctwist or pipe dub. its so fucking ugly even when its grabbed so i def prefer a knee grabbed sw dub 10 over a such a pipe dub.
i enjoyed doreys run the most.

casabon is so consistent. almost always qualifies for finals in the major events despite not throwing any dubs.

Very hard to choose. Everyone has a chance,it all comes down to who has the cleanest run. I'm going to guess

Houle (hoping), Henshaw, Kenworthy

it doesn't make me a fucking idiot, its person opinion, and kevin didn't even attempt a switch double flip, unlike dumont, dumont also done a dub 12, which he went huge on, kevins runs are nearly all the same, which are getting boring to watch now imo.
