Any1 want to explain to me how Nick Geopper isn't on that list? How does second place at Breck Dew Tour not warrant you a spot? And why is Jacob Wester in both slope and big air lol? I know he had like enough points from AFP to get him in the first round of invites, but frankly I don't see him even getting close to the podium in either event, I feel like someone else deserves his spot...

Russ Henshaw needs to be in big air. He's one of only a few to land triples and he could actually win it (unlike Henrik)
 
This isn't the complete list of athletes. They've had this list out for awhile now, and the new one should be coming out shortly
 
Didn't henrik win afp big air? And if I was a judge he would have got my vote last year. And he will probably try another butter dub
 
because the only thing we want to see is people chucking the same tricks as all the other competitors. dumbass.
 
i would love to see Kelly taking the first place.. But this list isnt the final.. time will tell us all.
 
Hopefully Woodsy will be invited when the second list is made, deserves it; especially after bronze at euro-X last year.
 
henriks forward 16 was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy more impressive than any dub cork thrown last year.

tammy wallnuts better make that list too.
 
I agree that LJ should be invited, and hopefully he will be in the next round of athletes. But don't downplay Jacob just because he's been in the game for so long. He's still young and is an amazing skier.
 
I'm not downplaying because he's been here for a while, he has no rail skills. He belongs in big air, not slopestyle.
