When will they post the rest of the first round videos? I was under the impression that there were 16 athletes competing.

These videos are the quarter finals (i.e second round). The first round (of 16) already went down but there were no individual videos. Results of the 16 were:

1: Vincent Gagnier / Nicky Keefer = Vincent Gagnier ( 1/4 )
2: Beau James Wells / Jeremy Pancras = Beau James Wells ( 1/4)
3: Karl Fostvedt / Taylor Seaton = Karl Fostvedt ( 1/4 )
4: Matt Walker / Antoine Adelisse = Matt Walker ( 1/4 )
5: Jossi Wells / Magnus Graner = Jossi Wells ( 0/4 )
6: Antti Ollila / Torin Yater Wallace = Antti Ollila ( 3/4 )
7: Will Wesson / Alex Bellemare = Will Wesson ( 3/4 )
8: Dan Hanka / Lauri Kivari = Daniel Hanka ( 0/4 )

Yeah they did not upload any individual video of the first round, only this edit but they don't show a lot :



Hopefully the weather will clear up for the rest of the competition and they will be able to hit the bigger features.

pretty weird how they only show the score of the person who is setting the trick, rather than the person who is at risk of taking a letter.

At the very end of the Jossi vs. Antti one, Jossi took a pretty hard fall and it looks like his knee bent pretty weird... after that they showed him sitting off to the side looking really pissed. hope he is alright

So stoked for Vinni so far, also I was hoping for Daniel Hanka to win... dont get me wrong i like Wesson, but Hanka is just on another level of wizardy.

how is this thing not getting more exposure/attention?

are kids too busy watching 5 minute edits of sloppy rail tricks and posting their latest purchase?

Those motion graphics and sound effects get pretty nauseating. Why not just play S.k.a.t.e?

Last year was way better where are the jumps and the back-country setups? Having it only be rails isn't as cool as it was with everything.

Apparently they have sick/bigger features up top, but with the bad weather they don't have speed or visibility for any of the jumps/rails.

they didnt want to put jumps in because if they did, they might as well have given vinny the cash before it even started

Heavy snow meant there was not enough speed for the jumps, heard the weather was good yesterday for the finals though so the big Jumps were available.
