US Open Finals Results

[*DrewT*]

1. AJ Kempainen

2. Taylor Seaton

3. Xavier Bertoni

4. Stefan Thomas

5. Kalle Leinonen

6. Lyndon Sheehan

7. Dan Marion

8. Jon Marks

9. Sean Field

10. Byron Wells

AJ's run: Sw7, right 5, left 9, right 9 (everything steezed out, big and flawless)

Taylor Seaton: Sw7, right 5, left 9, right 10 (Not as big, not as stylie, still sick but in my opinion should have taken 5th)

Xavier: Switch right 10, left 5, right 9, left 10 (Pretty big, pretty stylie but no grab on the 10 and some tickles or missed grabs later on)

Stefan: 7, sw 7, 3, sw 9, sw 5 (SUPER Steezy, not huge, the lack of any unnatty probably hurt him but a solid run, definatly deserving of 4th place)

Kalle: Left 9, right 9, left 10, sw left 9 (Big, Perfect, should have taken 1st place. Kalle got so damn screwed over, his switch 9 was a solid 10 feet out of the pipe which was way bigger than anyone elses, solid grabs held all the way through every trick.)

My top 5 would have been

1. Kalle

2. Xavier or AJ

3. Xavier or AJ

4. Stefan

5. Seaton

Those 5 were head and shoulders about the rest of the competition, very tight between them but KALLE GOT FUCKED

[Chief.Woodcock]

androoo what about girls?

[wu-tangskia]

C.O.T reppin......I diiiiiiigggg

 

[BobYohan]

Kalles run was unreal, but if hed just squeezed in a fifth hit the judges wouldnt have been able to score him so low

 

[*DrewT*]

He was going so big he was barely squeezing in his 4th hit

 

[snowboardersrule]

how long was the pipe? 4 hits in a super pipe? they should all be 20 ft plus.

 

[australianjibber]

thanks for the report andy bad luck about your result

 

[PeteyG]

yea i agree kalle's sw 9 was the first switch 9 ive ever seen in pipe and he stomped it. He's def #1 in my book!

 

[KjellEllefson]

Ya Taylor

Thats soo sick

 

[TannerCoulter.]

yeah taylor hold it down

 

[edmonton_skier]

yea man thats what i though too... kalle's set up 10 was teh sickest 10 ove ever seen and grabs blunt like no other

 

[lankkari]

bertoni didn't have almost any grabs in his run and should have been replaced by kalle

 

[marx]

finland is starting to own, just wait....

as you already saw, the two best runs were done by two finnish guys..

 

[Ozziba]

Well... The newschoolers in Finland have always been good. There are many more than Kalle Leinonen or AJ Kemppainen (check for Matti Räty, Iisko Heiskanen, Mart Perendi, Pekka Hyysalo, Janne Sarajärvi, Joonas Kuoksa and belive me there is lotta more!). I mean we got the skill for sure but the big brands haven't been intrested from our boys for some reason. : / Anyways I hope this breaks the bubble.

kalle got fucked but so did xavier. seaton threw down but his sketchy 10 at the bottom shouldn't have put him on the podium. kalle went huge and smooth and shoulda podiumed- xavier's run was far more tech than anyone elses (sw right 10 1st hit are you shitting me?!)

AJ

Xavier

Kalle

That shoulda been the podium.
