looking forward to the finals tomorrow, shame our men aren't good enough, but the standard of the men is v high.
the womens there is a big gap between the top and bottom, the Japanese, Brazilians, and Sky Brown leaps ahead of the competition. I was impressed by Lola Tambling, has potential to be really good in a few years time

Yeh, I think when she and Lola get a bit older, gain some weight and muscle they'll be able to do them "properly" like the Japanese girl did.
One of the men, Tom Scharr, I remember seeing him on the half pipe when he was a kid, and he's start his run with a couple of massive airs, 720s or something similar, but then rest of run would be lip tricks and "small" airs as he didn't have weight and size and technique to do any more, but he's excellent now.
