finals!
F YES HENNIE-LO!
sick final, so fun to watch, I’m obviously wishing I was in it, having to watch a competition go down is never fun, but it’s something you have to learn to live with if your’e going to last long in this industry. at least i did the best of it and made sure to get the action on film for you guys, enjoy!

GÖÖÖTTT
Goda tider!! Han va värd den segern!
Tur att du finns på plats Jake! Thx!
Elias is on fire! Welcome back PK , this season will be sick, and sorry for you Jacob , b luck next time.
If hit had been Jon doing the switch double that HH did in the super finals it would NOT have been a winning jump. Don’t get me wrong, I think Harlaut has a bigger bag of tricks than Jon and deserved the win, but that specific jump shows how much the scoring is based on other things than just the execution of the jump. Compared to other judgement-based sports, the competition aspect of this sport seems like it has a decent way to go.
Well I think Henriks trick was the best of the 4. Although i also think Paddy Grahams trick from Quals that got him 11th was better than the other 3 at least so i still feel th juding is strange. Also, you made me cringe Jacob. http://brobomb.com/2010/01/there-are-other-songs-i-promise/
EMK: Not saying that Henriks trick wasn’t the best of the four in the finals. Just that if it hade been Jon that made it, I think the judges would have considered it “the same old Jon Olsson trick” and it would not have scored as much. It’s one thing that it’s more fun to see a variety of tricks, but the scoring should not be based on how many times you’ve done the trick. There are other ways to promote variation.
THANK YOU JACOB!!! Wish you were in the final! Do you think all your vacations with surfing have anything to do with your skiing now? Do you regret not pushing more skiing into your schedule? Thanks again for the video’s
I think that Ambuhels trick from the finals was technical the best, but Harlaut did something diferent from the others and because of that he is the 1st. Andreas was OK but we already seen it. Sorry for PK , bad crash look’s like crash at JOI 09 but he is warming up and he will be OK in a mounth or two. Jacob, your place is still in first 8. Rock on!
EMK – ive actually never heard that song in any other ski edit, but maybe thats because I never watch ski edits. maybe because ski edits bore me to death.
andrew – the reason i havent been skiing is not that i like surfing more, but that i have been hurt and I didnt want to start the season feeling bad. now my whole body is feeling a 110% healthy and I cant wait to ski more! going to hintertux, austria in a few days where Im going to spend most of the fall. expect some righteous ski edits!
kim – Im not so sure. Jon’s switch 9 looks completely different, henrik is the only one doing it that flat, making it look totally unique. i think he deserved 1st place, no doubt about it. elias’ trick is impressive, but you have to consider other factors than sheer technicality.
thanks for all the props!
Jacob
I’m glad you still make them even though they bore you! I like your edits.
Thanks for the videos Jacob
Your ski blogs always gonna be the best
I really appreciate your hard work today. thanks, you’re the man Jacob!
Thanks for the blogging and quick updates! Much appreciated!
yeah, you’re getting way up to the everybody favourite skier’s list.
henriks dub was insane, so slow, so much style
seems like your insanely spoild. 100000 kids would have kild to do what you do every day. travel all over the world.. but it seams to me like you just dont care and love this sport.. so just stop then.. work at a supermaket and surf in the weekends.
to the guy above me…seems like u totally don’t get it! i’m really sorry for u!
thx jake for the updates! it’s worth it!
abadskierwholovestoski – are you out of your mind? why do you think i spend time making these edits if i didnt love skiing as much as i do? do you think someone pays me to update you with action 15 minutes after it happened?
do you think i was not bummed about not making finals? just because i dont get worked up about it doesnt mean i dont care. you really didnt get it did you…

here is my edit. cu buddy
someone always wants to moan
i hope you keep blogging i love to take a 5 minute break at work and see what you have been up to. Fabi, nice vids, another for my vimeo stalking list
Thanks for the updates! I think you were the first one with videos up
and, I guess abadskierwholovestoski expects everyone to be a sore loser… Good people just accept it and get on with life even if they’re upset
