X Games Slope Course Preview

Im assuming this is the street course. Looks pretty sick, hopefully skiers can hit it and make an edit.
 
Looks like the big air jump is a step down this year

Course looks like:

- Urban Down Rail or Box

- Crazy Urban Setup with half rainbow, container, and close-outs.

- Flat - Gap - Down? or Gap to Down Box?

- Cannon Box

- 3 Large Jumps
 
I stood next to it today. The jumps are fucking massive. The second jump is really poppy and doesn't look like it has the length of the others. My guess is that everyone will be overshooting it. They're preparing a GoPro wall ride at the top which I assume will be put into the course.

The big air doesn't look as big as previous years but after last year's criticism I don't think the builders would allow it to be a "high speed, medium sized air" (as Jacob described it). I saw them cutting the back out of the wedge today. It will look sort of like the JOI step down jump from a couple of years ago. The landing goes forever so they can put it as deep as they want. I can see Russ doing a triple pretty easily.
 
Im predicting a triple cork is mandatory to win all x games big air contests from now till infinity
