Format looks sick – All in all sounds like the sickest event, better than even last years. I hope they give us two weeks of daily updates.

 
Any of those teams could take it! The Norweigans will be so tech! Tanner and Sammy and Simon and Wallish - its going to be Epic!
 
oh my god.... adreas and pk is probably the best pair anyone could imagine in skiing. Its between them and simon n' tom
 
Dang those teams are epic! I can't wait to see the videos when the competition is done. There gonna be ridiculous! I wonder whose gonna be Jon's teammate? Jacob Wester maybe?
 
Here's my prediction:

1. Tanner & Sammy will take it. Last year's winner with one of the sport's greatest? I'll put my money on them.

2. Andreas & PK - Suuuuper tech, could snag it from Tanner and Sammy if they get a few shots...

3. TJ & Dorey - Good jumpers, and TJ proved that his knee isn't a problem at X.

4. Simon & Wallisch - Again, good jumpers. But it comes down to their shots again.

5. Russ & Jossi - They're only down here because I haven't seen much of Russ, but Jossi will be sure to impress. Not sure they can compete with the top 3 though.

Did I miss one? I think I missed Sweden and France
 
Jon and ? - I think if he takes Jacob the doubles will win it. If he takes someone else (Henrik?), I don't think they will fare as well.

Candide & ? - Haven't seen Candide in a looong time, is he healthy? I don't think France will do too well...
 
i hope andreas' brother films again this year. it would be pretty funny if he was on a different team then andreas. little bit of sibling rivalry to make some things a little more fun.
 
You have to look at the full picture to make a fair assessment. I believe team Norway is the most formidable not just because Andreas and PK are great skiers but because of who their team mates will most likely be. Filmers Jon Hatveit and Filip Christensen could make a near unbeatable combination and Vegard Breie is an excelent photog. Team America could also take it. Tanner and Sammy will work great togeter and a combination of Dom and i'm guessing Iberg could also be a great film team. I'd like to speculate on the other teams but there isn't enought info yet. Team Sweden is a strong contender depending on who Jon's second ski teammate is. So is team USA but i have no idea who they will chose as filmer and photog. I don't want to count out team Canida Tj is incredable but i can't say anything about Jbone i just havn't seen him jump very often bottem line i just don't know. The same is true with team Down Under. Jossi is incredable but i can't speek for Russ. Ether way this looks to be one of the greatest event in the history of Freestyle skiing and a can't wait to see how it unfolds.

 
I'm putting my bets on them. Last year I thought Andreas had the best edit, but now that PK is on the team, they are going to be the most tech and have the most style.
 
it's kinda funny that wallisch and dumont are on a team. if you think about it they are about the most opposite skiers i know of. tom is all about rails and style, and dumont is straight up pipe skier and old-school double flipper. not only that, but tom is probably the most loved skier on ns and dumont seems to be the most hated on ns. kinda funny if you think about it.
 
WOAH don't anyone count out Team down under. Russ Henshaw is probably one of the best jumpers in JOSS. Let not anyone forget his X run he wanted and he did win NZ OPN 08. The guy has numerous dub flips and both way sw. 10's better than anyone imo.
