Jossi said on twitter,

Triple 14. Right Double 14. @RussHenshaw #GettingHenshawed. Again...

 

[TORVINEN]

Hell yea Frej!!!

 

[Mike-O]

Haha that tweet is right on the money, kinda sad yet hilarious at the same time. I hope Russ wins something next season to break this curse.

 

[Heart]

good to see that frej got rewarded for his creativity. any video of the dub bio 1080?

dub bio octo is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen

 

[auski]

First triple not good enough to podium - was always going to be Russ

 

[Davy.Crockett]

the fourth place tricks sound the coolest

 

[SSteezle]

stoked for gus, he never seems to do too great at comps but he's def. one of the most talented park skiers out there

 

[Crocodile]

Spot on

 

[wasatch_rat]

stoked for vinnie in second, his dub bio octo is at least as cool as the dub 7 imho. and russ got robbed hard, no way alex deserved third more than him.

 

[blindside]

I want to see that dub 7.

People don't understand that JOI has been the leading comp for the creation of new tricks for years.

Vincent and Frej both did the most stylish doubles imo

Russ along with a few others had triple 14s last year which undoubtedly brought the score down for this year

 

[Malcolm]

Anyone else think it looks like Vincent's holding a giant fish in his hand?

 

[solitaryman]

Well deserved. I would like to see the highlights but the internet it too damn slow here unfortunately.

 

[goodiepocket]

honestly, that was my first thought when I glanced at the picture. was definitely a double take. haha

 

[ski0]

JOI is such a great event. No doubt the best big air comp. Does anyone know what happened to Brown?

 

[Chubz.]

lolololololol

 

[AronA]

Interested too... Where did he ended ?

 

[Abc567def]

fuck yeah gus

 

[bdowning]

This. That was my fav trick of the comp.

 

[1337]

hahahah happened to me too

 

[AT-AT]

This. He held that grab for soo long.

 

[drumbumocdp]

Frej Jönsson had the coolest tricks. both looked so damn cool, and adding the tail at the end of the dub 9 was so sick. I wanted to see russ somewhere farther up the list, but at the same time, those who won deserved it. Great comp as always

 

[bpalmer]

see i think Frej should have won. those tricks were absolute innovations of technicality and style. plus, they were so carved out, the rotation patterns wouldn't have been possible otherwise. that shit was crazy.

you know shits gotten crazy when the "style trick" is a double cork.

 

[TOAST.]

I agree. I feel as though his trick is much harder than a dub 16 and looks so much better. Probably not harder than a triple though.
