Who does the X slop course favor.

Based on the 3d renderings who do you think the course will favor?

2 rail features and 4 jumps. I think some one like Sammy will be able to put down a nasty run. Should be able to do some crazy shit on the 2 rail features as well as the jumps.

Also Tom is redick right now. I remember the Euro X games course Tom really killed that course with I think 5 jumps?

I don't see bobby really doing that great of shit on the rails but he will be going big in the air. At killington his rail section was less then impressive. Spun left on or out of every feature...

Thoughts?
 
Anyone who can comfortably dub all 4 ways. Bobby, Wallisch, and Goepper for sure.. Can't think of any others for now. Curious to see how the riders decide to play this, haven't seen 4 straight jumps in a comp for a long time. Would not be surprised if Elias throws a triple after seeing him do dub 10s on 20-30 foot jumps.

Personally I'm super stoked to see what happens!
 
Either Bobby, Tim Walnuts, or Sammy.

I wouldn't normally say wallisch, but he's on fire right now.

Not to mention what he did to a 6 Jump course in 2010.

 
I think it's going to come down to what the judges prefer on jumps; do they want progressive doubles or doubles in multiple directions?

I can see Bobby going crazy.. left dub 10, right dub 12, switch dub cork/misty 12, into a dub 14? Completely possible..

Wallisch would pretty much be limited to right dub 10, left dub 12, sw left dub 10, sw right dub 10. Haven't really seen the bigger dubs from Timmy other than his sw dub 14 in Side by Side..
 
TOM WALLISCH BECAUSE ALL OF HIS DUBS ARE CLEAN AS FUCK BOTH WAYS

I really want to see a right dub 12, switch left dub 10, switch right dub 9, left dub 12
 
Id say it benefits Elias Ambul and Bobby Brown the most, because air tricks are their specialty and they both have triple corks in their bag of tricks - and they say the "money booter" has been designed with triples in mind.

I guess you could say its good for tom and sammy but they are amazing at rails and would destroy any course.
 
I think Russ Henshaw could be in with a chance. Hes got triple cork ability for the last jump and spins pretty well every which way.
 
Or you could look at it in the sense that the rails are huge this year giving skiers like havtiet, henrik, b-dog, and jossi an advantange. They all kill it on rails and will most likely go bigger than everyone else, a 2 on przt 2 out doesn't have the wow factor, doing shit on that 40 foot high wall ride does.
 
i'd say it favors wallisch just because of his consistency. Don't get me wrong Bobby is insane good, but the more i watch him it seems like a lot of the time he's just trying to hold it together. Bobby's got a bigger bag of air tricks, i just don't think he's gonna be able to lay down a run as fluid and smooth as walnuts
