OFFICIAL DANE TUDOR X GAMES BIG AIR PETITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

or a least a few injury wildcard spots (that'd help Russ at least), just like the WCT does (surf tour for those who don't know)
 
Because its a TV bases event, they cant just go on for 3 hrs of elimination before the final, people would stop watching.
 
You see, you're going of right, but also kind of wrong. Yes they are basing it off of AFP points. No it doesn't come down to who travels to all of the competitions. As you may or may not be familiar with how AFP actually works, they take your top 5 results (which also depends on the ranking of the event, silver, gold, platinum ect.). So really, you have to have 5 good results to have a high AFP ranking. Which if the rider is good enough, should mean he/ or she could just ski consistently and push the sport so hard in 5 events to obtain say an X-Games spot. As far as I'm concerned everyone that has an X-Games spot has worked their ass off for it and deserve it based on how they've skied in the last 2-5 months or the previous season. So as far as you being blown away about one person who hasn't competed much in the last 2 years at all, I'm not surprised an X-Games spot wasn't received. The triple was INSANE and so sick, but as far as I know he has only landed 1? Correct me if I'm wrong. But if doing 1 triple could get you an X-Games spot, don't you think other people would just blow off all of the other contests and just try them? Which undoubtedly would ruin the competition scene in my eyes. I am not hating in any way shape or form on Dane, just helping validate why he doesn't have a spot, the same as many other people in this industry.
 
Whoever Chris Carver I think your input on the FB page is probably just pissing people off, on dudes opinion 25 times is still just 1 dudes opinion
 
Yeah but they only have the finals on TV... Just saying, the big air is tv based, slopestyle is not.
 
Just never clicked "learn more about timeline"?? Apparently we are all getting it soon but i don't care..i kinda like it.
 
X Games has always been about results, although I wouldn't mind seeing him in the big air comp. I don't think he has the bag of tricks to truly compete in slope. The pressure is a lot bigger on the X Stage than the likes of the Dew Tour.

Bobby and Russ will surely be at another level for this I estimate.
 
if dane wants to be a big air skier then he should actually do big air events and then he might get invited to x games. they choose the riders based on comp results, not on Newschoolers petitions or vimeo edits.

Mcrae williams also did a very similar triple to dane, but he didnt get invited either....

 
ask Salomon to buy you in? it would make sense in this case.

EVERYONE who is talking about results: This may be true regarding 3/4 of the riders, but f.e. Colby West was in XGames Slope, too, and he didn't have one result or one good edit. There are several examples for invitations without reason (but money), but inviting Dane would actually be reasonable.

You could fill in one's place if someone got ill (although I don't hope so for the others). I would travel to Aspen just in case...
 
signed even though it starts tommorow i want dane to compete because even though the jump were built for trips, the only person that willthrow triples is dane and he might even go for a quad if hes crazy enough, the neverbefore doe will be madeee
 
That's what Alternates are for bud. Aka Joss Christensen and Chris Laker for slope style. They invite alternates for every event at X incase someone drops out or is injured so that they are there prepared and ready to go. All of the alternates are at X training the courses getting ready incase they are needed.
 
FUCK YEA! dane deserves to be at the xgames he's easily one of the BEST all around skiers out there right now and if you dont agree go watch his segment grand bizarre
