I was wondering if Kai would be competing since he's just back recently from his ACL tear, but they have him listed.

Highlight video from last years event where Henrik went for Gold, Kai for Silver and Casabon for the Bronze!!

Predictions anyone???
 
I'll agree with the sw dub 14, he's got them so on lock, and he can do forward dub 14s in his sleep as well.

Also predicting that Elias Ambuhl will throw a triple or a dub 16, he almost landed a dub 16 at some city big air two years ago I believe.

And Henrik with butter dubs and bio 12/14.

I'm praying that Vincent Gagnier does some dub bios with the octo grab, honestly one of the dopest tricks ever done.

Kai's competing but I'm betting he'll deliberately not get through to qualis so he doesn't strain too much as that landing is so fucked. I'm betting Gus will throw a triple or sw dub 14 if some triple attempts come up in snowboarding like last year from Stale. I'm betting Gus will step up this year but if it comes down to it, it'll just be Schlopy vs Kenworthy and Hunziker because the Swiss ALWAYS put through a Swiss guy, such bullshit. It was stepping up last year, Henshaw threw a couple dub 14's but never stuck them. Dollo won't get as far this year I think but who knows, may have some new stuff down

 
Vinnie Cash - definitely got the skills, just needs to land clean and grab till the end. definitely deserves it.

Henrik: who can argue with a butter double.

 
I know!! It will be fun to see how Turin does in a city big air! Are you shooting it again Joris?
 


/images/flash_video_placeholder.pngThis shit is fucking hilarious, especially if you know how Swiss people speak German
 
WTF did I just watch? Is this for real, I mean I don't speak French so I have no idea what they were saying, but it was surreal as fuck!
 
I think it was real, cos it's a real station and it could be because these guys would know nothing about it anyway
 
yep seems like everyone and their grandmother has em in the bag now. definitely saw this one coming. at least the dub 12 mute seems to be easing into retirement
 
This is actually a radio show that is on every day on a national radio in Switzerland, and is filmed and put on the internet. It is often really funny ! And this one is gold, love when he says "Nicki qui Hastag yolo in the backcountry", if you follow nicolas vuigner on Instagram/FB it is exactly that !

The one in the white shirt asking the questions sometimes is a speaker in little ski comps in Switzerland !
 
Henrik or Gus will probably win, but I hope Jossi does well too. imo one of the most stylish riders out there. (Not just his fashion sense - ski style too, haha)

As for the secret guest - my guess is Jon Olsson, lol
