jesse was tossing up whether to put forward his sw double 12 or his double front... obviously in the end he developed a bit of strategy and went with the dub front...
i've always thought about this - dumont at that winter x was one of the first times the public vote format had been used in this sport, so the riders didn't really know what to expect. though with the One Hit Wonder, perhaps they can draw from the past and use the knowledge that a crowd pleaser can be more on the money more so than a technical "judge-pleasing" trick.
the public vote is not a traditional format in skiing, but there's no reason the riders can't all use that knowledge to their advantage when formulating a game plan.
and if you don't like it, well there is plenty of judged events still around. something for everyone.
