Hope this gets the media spotlight that snowboarding halfpipe got. Tonight will be just as good if not better! Actually we all know who sends the biggest anyway- but the rest of the world needs to realize....

So wait is it tonight? I thought it was thursday, or is it thursday in korea and 9 at night east coast USA?

Yes, its 9am thursday in South Korea right now.
 
Idk what you guys think but I thought TYW crushed his first quali run, and ferreira did too but he missed a tail grab pretty badly and then got a 92 over Torins 89. Judging just continues to be so inconsistent. I thought they were pressing hard on locking in the grabs on halfpipe but maybe i missed something on Torins first run.
 
tonight will be a show. best of 3 is the best format. I cannot wait!

torin is likely the ns favorite. but I think wise is still the one to beat. do either rolland or riddle have a shot at breaking up a USA sweep?

I would bet on the wells brothers to break up a usa sweep. Does this kickoff at 9 eastern?

I didn't think that deserved top spot. Thought Nico's run was better.

Hard to say, he definitely had more amplitude but Nico's run was more techy. 96 definitely feels high to me
 
yea I dunno if he deserved such a huge increase in score for the same run only cleaned up a tiny bit. I would have put him just below Nico with a 94 or something

Idk I think his had better style than the kid from NZ. Regardless how do you beat that? Triples?

Wise's X Games run would, I assume, beat it, notwithstanding that they seem to be scoring things a bit higher here. There's really no way to deny gold to a run with all 4 doubles.

Other than that, yeah, I don't know. Torin's last run, had he not fallen on his last hit, would've been a 93ish for me, but so would Ferreira's run that got a 96, so I guess you never know.

I don't think anyone else in the comp has a run that can get to 95.

He traded in a regular switch right 7 for a switch right double... that's a bit more than just cleaning it up. Plus he grabbed his airs cleanly and went much bigger, I say it's a legit score.
 
I’m an idiot and can’t didn’t read that there was already a pipe thread but damn did anyone see Aaron’s butter at the fuckin bottom it gave me a boner

That was pretty fuckin' weird. What are you doing kid?

Honestly I think he just felt he threw down the best run he could and was happy with it, regardless of if that meant giving up the gold. Respect
