X-Games Slopestyle Live Thread

Noah Morrison just threw down. His doubles were somewhat weird looking but his double 10 on the last jump was just smooooooth. Not as good as Harlauts
 
Andreas with a powerful run. Threw a nice lil' flatspin on the second feature. That was cool. Very smooth run, nice run. Will be in the finals I would imagine.
 
fuck! i missed henriks run, w/e. Someone tell me why the fuck there isnt a ski street event?!? shit would be fuckin ill
 
Highlights from the first four runs.

Harlaut has wicked style (goes without saying) and he's using poles. I bet the management of the X-Games didn't want him to ditch the poles, I could see them pulling a move like that.

Hatveit is thinking creatively, mixing it up on the rails and finding a unique line. Threw a flatspin on the second feature over the wall. His jumps are always on point.

Morrison is smooth. I don't know much about Morrison but dang he mixes style and technical tricks well. Announces will mention "not high enough spins" at some point (he only did dub 10s).

 
looks like style is huge this year, morrison did 3 (4?) semi-sketch dubs and got a 64.

Stoked for Edollo! hope he can make it on the podium this year.

Predicitons:

1 Kenworthy

2 Edollo

3 Wallisch

4 Andreas

5 Brown

6?

7?

8 Walker
 
ABM is gonna be in the finals. His doubles were nice. He'll probably throw that double off the cannon. He was sizing it up with a switch on, rodeo 450 off.
 
Joss Christenson did well. Hatveit got hatveit'd so far

I was making a chicken pot pie and didn't see Joss's run but see he is in 2nd place so far.
 
Yes, apart from Mike Douglas. It seems like they have no clue what so ever. It probably won't be long until one of them mentions Shaun White...
 
Bummed about judging so far (big surprise).

E'dollo and Hatveit should be first still.

No chance of the judges moving away from their love of robot style
