as has been stated before the most likely would be lyndon sheehan and byron but both have been to winter x. so i reckon that leaves guys like beau wells and matt soundy but beaus probably too young. Anyone else think that matt soundy could make it?
 
well actually its not ... the term down under just refers to austria and new zealand pretty much haha
 
Australia is called "Down Under" because "it's as close as you can get to Hell without getting burned
 
But in all seriousness, has anyone thought about guys like Johny Lipzker, Jordan Houghton, Charlie Timmins, or Boen Ferguson?
 
There was this one super sick guy in the ozzy jump comp with Russ that was doing the sickest 5s and that, would be sick if someone like that went. Soundy would be awesome to go but can't see it happening unfortunately... And cal would be insane but i think he has an even less chance then soundy.. Maybe if his superunknow goes well? Chances are it'll be byron which is kinda lame as team downunder doesn't actually have to bend the rules as there are sick skiers out there but ah well.
 
Dhanu Sherpa would be a wicked choice, but you have,

Watkin McLennan

Andre Bennett (been working on doubles)

Boen Ferguson

Johnny Lipzker

Charlie Timmins

Jordon Houghton
 
theres no fucking way that it should be allowed to happen. theres half a dozen guys down here that are world class and would not only hold their own in joss but be standouts as well.
it defeats the purpose of having amatures! just coz no-one in north america has heard of them doesn't mean they dont slay! fuck. if they let them take jossi's brother i'm going to punch jon in the face. then kick him in the nuts.
there's 50 kids in oz/nz that deserve this chance. ns is all about finding new talent, why shouldn;t this be any different.
my pick would be jono or boen.
 
Agreed... I really hope they find a sick rookie, such a sick opportunity for them. Will see what happens though, im guessing Jossi is pushing for Byron to go.
 
Straight up!!! Well said sir!!! All these boys are killing it super hard, would love to see one of them get a chance!! The idea of bending the rules is rubbish, not to mention completely unneccessary, that ruins the whole idea of the comp!!! I'd love to see any one of these dudes repping for us ozies!!
 
That would be kind of lame if he bent the rules for one team and the rest still had to comply. I mean c'mon. I got nothing but love for Jossi but play by the rules if your going to make them Jon!
 
Guys.There is a couple of threads about this. As i said in another one "I am not going as the rookie"Jossi and i talked about it once after the interview he did and we agreed that i wouldn't go.I don't know who is going but i bet they kill it way harder than i can on jumps.
Byron
 
This - and more. There are some of the TBR kids coming through in the next few years that are currently running bumps, but I've seen them throwing down and they are pretty sick. I just love that Australia is getting a chance!
