THE NEXT LIST FOR X-GAMES

Yo.... Burton, Wells, Ager, Riddle... All those guys deserve to be at X. And that pro ho comment about Aj made me laugh for days. Blaze Cannons
 
yeah you are very right. that switch double backflip got more attention from the media that shiller's switch 10. he should definitely be invited back.
 
Charlie in X-games yeh boy who woulda thought living in that truck and working cooking pizza would pay of, and Little Jossi yeh son
 
it would be pretty dope if john symms competed. then again, the xgames is kinda weird cause it doesnt cater much to style. wasnt it simon last year who threw a Sick switch 7 but didnt get shit cause it wasnt a switch 10? i think a lot of riders that arent competing werent invited because theyd probably throw real smooth, styley runs that arent as fun to watch on tv for people who dont ski. i guess bigger spins = more excitement to *most* viewers...
 
That is legit... I agree.

Especially Phillipi and Spriggs, and they could both be in BOTH and kill it.

Also, how are there people who placed top 10 last yeat that are not invited this year...pretty odd I think

I was like Ctrl+F -> Favre -> nothing.

Ctrl+F -> Laurent -> nill.

damn saltpeckers, that guy has to many search akronyms...
 
I've not seen AJ Burton ski, so I'm not doubting his ability level, it just seems like there are soooo many more people that are more known and have better comp standings than him. I'm not sure about his comp results either.... but I can just think of a few others who seem more qualified. I hope he slays and makes all these people eat their words. Kill it.
 
i would kill to see someone do slopestyle-x with no poles, it would be the sickest thing ever if he slayed w/ style, oh wow i really hope someone does that

and fuck yall who don't like it, its still skiing
 
Thovex will kill it this year after his fall last year!! Along with TH nd Dumont!

Shame Cr couldt come, he'd threw down an impressive run! I hope he is soon back!

The dominance of North Americans on that list it testiment to the stuck up attitudes of Alpine Europeans agaist freestyle, and why it'll never get in the Olympics while the people who are in charge at the moment are all still in power.

 
yes! he earned a spot last year by being a standout at superpark but got kiinda screwed over when the switched it from slopestyle to best trick. give him another chance!
 
He is more focusing to pipe! He passed slopestyle so he could focus 100% on pipe!

Btw is it true that x games will stop in a couple years?
 
"focus on pipe"

subtitle: I'm still good at slope but I won't compete unless I win.

I mean come on, claiming a thing such as "focus on pipe" could only be justified if he rides pipe 10 hours/day this whole season (counting out filming) which we all know isn't the case. He would have to be so fucking caught up with doing alley oops and flatspins that there's not enough time to focus on slopestyle - meh, I think not.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure Tanner's been riding pipe a whole bunch. But there's no way It's his only activity...

aw fuck it, "focus on pipe" is just a sad excuse for not having the skills to win and it fucking sucks because as a fan of his style I'd rather see him as much as possible. So what if he doesn't win.

you think I'm full of manure? Then who always has the biggest anticipations on his shoulders every X-game? Who has won the most medals in all diciplines? Who whines about not getting gold over gagnier instead of being happy about being among the top athletes in the world, having the time of his life?

Now I HOPE "focusing on pipe" isn't a quote. Beacause if it is, it's just pathetic.
