I wouldn't call being able to hold a grab "progression" over the course of like 3 years

3 years? Hell, let’s go back just 2 years. Kelly Sildaru won Slopestyle with a cork sev and two 9’s.

Three different girls threw three different doubles in Big Air yesterday. Remind me again what your point is?

Gus Kenworthy in slopestyle did the same trick as Johanne Killi in Big Air, and Killi did it better. Remind me again what your point is?

I do think it will be interesting to see how it sorts out in the Olympics. Do they get 3 runs or 2? 3 could really open up something as it would allow for a safety run and then 2 chances to link up a more money run. I have to think the judges will absolutely reward progression and both way tricks on rails and jumps. Some of the girls only land rails one way thus they'll likely be out of qualifiers quickly.

The interesting thing will be if doubles do become part of the Olympic conversation. Next year it becomes the standard at Dew Tour, X-Games, etc. It will be interesting to see how Kelly Sildaru responds. She's made a career out of simply winning without integrating too much off-axis in her runs. Just clean, standard spins. She's clearly set up to incorporate doubles better than any of them, but in the last Big Air when Kaya and Lisa Zimmerman pressed the competition with the doubles her answer was a 1260.

Should be interesting and I think Tess Ledeux and Johanne Killi are now raising the bar. A few other foreign young guns too. US Team has Maggie as their great, white hope. She's looked wonky in the air in the past, but Saturday's run looked pretty damn clean.

Props actually, just watched that. No lie it was stomped to hell with a dope rotation.

A little late, but sorry. I like my life and wouldn't like to die just yet.

I have to firmly disagree with OP. This years Xgames womens slopestyle was exciting to the very end. Those girls were putting down tricks I cant do, and putting them down with style. Womens contest scene has exploded this year. I still remember in 2008 were the best woman's trick was a sloppy 7 when dubs were coming on the scene on the men's side.

The scene has changed and the girls are really pushing it. Ive been tuning in for womens category this year.
