nb 19 no question should’ve bumped him up, imo not enough to beat ahall but i definitely think matej should’ve been on the podium

Agreed. The tweak on the Japan was so nice too

Whole event was incomprehensible though... I’m still in shock.

Very hard to keep track, the game is insane these days. I’ll have to rewatch to get a better grasp of what I just watched. I do agree, I thought Matej was podium worthy.

Dude could be holding in the send until the olympics. I’m betting we’ll see history being made in the olympics. He did win the steamboat big air qualifier.

ahall landed a worlds first and matej didn’t, surprised he didn’t podium nb 19 got unfairly judged but it’s kinda hard to win against the biggest ski rotation ever thrown in a ski comp which also happened to have a steezy and technical grab throughout the whole rotation lol

How did they choose which score to replace? It looked like the high scores were being replaced. Confused AF. Was pulling for Teal

Matej got robbed or Alex was unfairly judged. Nosebutter trip 19 tindy and nose butter dub 19 japan are scored together, but dub 19 seatbelt and dub 21 seatbelt aren't?

It's kind of a flaw with the scoring system and new rules need to be set for what counts as the same trick and what doesn't.

Also idk how Edjoy's forward trip 18 mute scored 5 points less than Mac's switch trip 18 mute, I think Eddy should've been a podium contender as well.

so true. Me and my brother were like “Edouard is my new favorite skier”. Dude got robbed of a podium imo, he got back up from a pre eject just to go land back to back trip 18s with steeze and get slapped in the face with harsh af scoring

Figured someone else would chime in but a bunch of ppl in the other (including myself) all pretty much agree that it wasn’t a quad

Matej woulda thrown a more flippy quad if he had a bigger jump, look his quad at junior olympics, the one in the faction edit, and his HUGE triple backie on his insta. The big air wasnt big enough for the unicorn
