Who wins gold in sochi halfpipe?

it wont even be a competition, that crazy ass Chinese extreme gymnast is going to tear everyone to shreds.
 
I like how people down vote you just out of principle now. I would love Zilla to compete but my money is on torin
 
Your question points to an incredible nature of our sport - five months from now someone could progress with a great run that is unbeatable. It changes so fast that who can know. I would be interested to see a poll on this now versus the week before the event.
 
rootin for Simon. being a slightly older guy I really want to see one of the founders take the first olympics
 
Does anyone know if JPV has enough competition points to make the French (?) team and compete? I'd be fucking stoked just to watch him ski.
 
If Torin had a leftside double he would be almost a sure shot for gold, I really want him to win but the judges have a hard-on for back to back opposite doubles. (don't get me wrong, they're insanely gnarly, I just get bored, I like TYW back to back flatspins better)
 
torin and wise will go 1 and 2. IDK in what order dough? And simon is going to have a hard time comming back didn't he break his ankles at the beginning of this summer?
 
Maybe if you didn't use initials some people may know who the fuck you're talking about...

I understand your kid's needing to sound cool by using initials because like, you're on the inside, you just know, but not everyone is versed in EVERY SINGLE SKIER'S FULL NAME.

Anyways, Joffrey Pollet Villard.

And I'll admit, my mind always combines his two last names into Pollard. DAMN YOU FOR HAVING THAT LAST NAME ERIC.
 
Maybe you've heard of Joffrey Pollet Villard? He's kind of a huge fucking deal on this website. You need to your shit together, man.
 
Black face mask... 25 feet out of the pipe... only drops in to "Paint it Black"... ring a bell?

Anyway, I think Wise and Torin will both be in contention for gold, and it would be fuckin' dope to see Simon podium. Fact check me on this, but I'm pretty sure he's been in the game longer than any other skier who'll drop into pipe in Sochi.

There's also no doubt in my mind that some dark horses will have some nutty new tricks to surprise us with. I'm still really stoked about Noah Bowman's almost all-switch run that got 2nd at X Games a few years ago. Best of luck to Dorey and Riddle too, it'd be sick to see those guys put good runs down.
 
I'm sorry but Simon will not win, he just doesn't have the tricks. The fact that he's one of the orginators of halfpipe skiing will not change that fact, he'll probably be in the top ten, but torin, david wise, kevin rolland, justion dorey, noah bowman and mike riddle all have better tricks. So unless each and everyone mentionned fails to land their run, i dont see how that could happen.
