1. Why do I want people who know absolutely nothing judging a sport that I love and have grown up with?
2. Simon DID throw back the progression of skiing by making these people think a double front flip is a cool trick.
3. The entire Big Air/Next Trick events need to be scrapped and if they decide to go for the events next year, they need to be rethought from the ground up.
4. It is a shame to see our sport's biggest event turned into an American Idol pop drama instead of an actual sporting event.
5. JON AND PK ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT!
Jon's switch 10 in first round, just a little dub corked; final round perfect sideways dub cork 10, just a little inverted. IMO, best trick of the night and prob the best trick I have EVER seen on a jump. The bag of tricks Jon has is unmatched by anybody and the skills he has to do exactly what he sees in his mind are amazing.
PK's both jumps, sick as fuck. The slight dub cork 12 was one of the dirtiest tricks in X. I give it to Jon over PK because I know that is really the only way PK does a 12, while Jon can prob do at least 5 variations of a switch natural 1080.
Overall, an amazing night ruined by Simon Dumont and American Idol.
