The slopestyle qualifiers were pretty sick, lots of people crashed but some people were really killing it. In the end Ben Anderson qualified fisrt, his runs were as follows, Cab cork 5 inside safety, to 360 safety, to huge rodeo 5 critical, to switch cork 7 inside safety, to flat down flat to 270 out.
The big air had some insane competition. Guys were throwin down hard, we saw cork 7s and 9s, rodeo 7s and misty 7s, even a swtch lincoln 3, switch cork 5s 7s 9s and even switch cork 1080s. After 5 or 6 rounds of the best riders in the midwest,

2nd place went to Joey from downstate, cannonsburg

3rd place went to Ryan Dvorak from highlands
