The jump looks pretty big based on pictures.
What will be thrown? What do you want to see thrown? Who will you be watching? What will win?

Is Alex shlopy in it this year? hopefull he does his dub cork 1980. I doubt henrik will win if he just sticks with the same nose butter triple (its sick but he has won the last two x games with it) i wonder how judges will score it. Im sure he'll do a sw tail butter triple which will probably win first

1980s are 35 years ago. It would be cool if someone threw some kind of 2160. Then it would actually be a future spin.

Since we've seen the nose butter triple the past two years win it for Edollo, what if he changes it up and does a tail butter triple? Just a thought, probably won't happen though

I really hope they judge something like that well or like if someone did something like Lakers dub rodeo 12. I'm getting really bored of dub/triple corks and switch rodeos. They all look the same and we already know that there are plenty of other tricks to be done. I'm still hoping for a repeat of the 2010 Games when what I thought I knew was possible was thrown out the window.

I don't think so.. We'll definitely see them soon but I think the X Games jump would need to be 20+ feet bigger for people to consider trying one for the first time. That said it's definitely possible, if anyone remembers Haldor doing a 3.5 to his dome without even tucking and not going thug zone last year

Would be sick if someone did a triple misty/bio, maybe Vinny will do it. Or just some crazy tripe cork dub grab variation. Or a trip cork screamin seamen. No matter what still very hyped to see what goes down.

What kind of logic is that? If he's so confident, he should huck it. It'll get him a ton of publicity of he's first.

Henrik did the double flat 12 in 2012 and he didn't even make finals, for some reason the judges tend to not rate those rotations as highly, at least until Vinnie threw a genie grab in there

The snowboarding community hates spin to win even more than us skiers. He doesn't want to be known as the one who started the quad huckfest. I really hope someone tries though

Jossi will make finals but on last run will have no shot of winning. Thus on his final hit, zero spins the jump. Scores a 4, but a perfect 100 in all of our hearts.

Henrik has got the nose butter triple 16 and the switch triple 14
Jesper has got the switch triple 12 and he'll probably land the triple rodeo 12
ABM has the triple cork 12, and the switch double bio 14 truck
Schlopy will probably try a 1980 if he reaches the final

Gonna be exciting.

Well, hopefully ABM will be able to compete, since he didn't for slope. Things aren't looking to great for Henrik, either, but maybe a miracle will happen and he will come and crush big air once again
