This is going to be heavy! Can't wait to check out the edits, and it's awesome that ESPN is showing some love to the urban game. Big shout out to Hot Pockets! Someone page Jim Gaffigan.

You seemed to have not watched JF's movie, Good Company, anything LaFa or Level 1 this past year.

How can you say cam and clayton are the only contenders on that list?

I've seen all of them. Obviously they are all amazing skiers, but IMO none of them can touch Cam and Clayton in the urban arena. To me, the others are great urban skiers, but Cam and Clayton ARE urban skiing (if that makes sense.) They represent the grit and general badass-ness of skiing in the streets.

However, in a contest like RealSki, I feel like this aesthetic might work against them. Like Cam says in For Lack of Better, "I know I'm not technically best skier, but I've found a place for myself pushing the sport bigger and bigger" (not a direct quote, but along those lines.) I feel like contests like RealSki focus more on technical rail ability and tricks in that vein more than general weight. Whatever the case, should be unreal and I cant wait to see what they all come out with.

Choosing the people to invite must be so fucking hard for this! No one from the bunch no Henrik, bdog, even sigstad, hornbeck, vanular, khai, sami, LJ, jesper..... And yet it's still hard to say they definitely invited the wrong people cos they are all beasts in the streets

Curious about what you mean about the energy drink sponsors? Is it because they're such huge sponsors those skiers kinda get a boost in terms of where they can travel and what they can do? Or just cuz they're kinda (i don't want to say sellouts) but sellout?

Just saying in terms of them picking athletes for the contest. X games is usually filled with energy drink logos. Makes the average joe think they could participate in it someday. if that makes sense...

according to the ns snapchat they already judged the edits. no idea when we get to see them though.

if you REALLY want to find out you could see when the real street snowboard edits were released last year and go off that.

The videos should come out before the TV premiere, they need to do the voting for people choice, Im assuming they'll come out pretty soon here...

Going to be epic. Always love them. That being said...the average xgames watch who watches freeskiing once a year during Xgames will have no idea what is good, bad, or whatever.

They will vote on aesthetics, which is more than fair, but I think may take away from potentially recognizing the difficulty of certain tricks that riders should be rewarded for.

I think it's really sick to see JF Houle in there!! He's getting pretty old but sure is one urban freeskiing's legends. Can't wait to see the edit, they are gonna be full of bangers.

Word around town is some of the stuff Tom does is insane. But what else would you expect from him. Also from the mouth of LJ, "Will hit and did some of the most insane stuff I've ever seen."

Needless the say the hype train is coming in hot.
