I'd be super happy if Ruben would stick it after his recovery from cancer!

I'd like to see Lewis win, hopefully he does something spectacular and makes it a legit win, instead of the judges giving it to him because of his accident last year.
Aaron needs to do something different this year, that handlepass kiteloop was awesome, but I don't think it's going to cut it this year

I think most of the judges are spidermonkey experts. So I think Hadlow will win with his low level spidershow.
Though I want to see stupid high tweaked stylish simple moves.

I think Reno or Aurelien have a good shot to win as underdogs. Most likely we will see Lewis, Aaron, and Ruben in the final though. If light winds I think Tom Hebert will do well and in super strong winds my hat goes to Lasse.
Too bad Kevin and Jesse are out; in my opinion they are the top two riders in the world for big air. I truly believe Kevin should have won last year with that front roll mega loop one footer. He wins best trick and also had the most height yet does not win the King of the air. If Jesse would have landed some of those epic moves in the final he could have won as well. Aaron's moves were no doubt spectacular but the height was not there for me. I want to see some big tricks with variation.
I can't wait to see Graham Howes try his board off megaloop and all of the other great riders busting their moves. I look forward to this event every year!
Lets hope for a safe KOTA

Aurelien is a good Airstyler...he has the variation they should show. I hope he does very well.
Looking forward to Graham too, and Tom of course.
A rider with just megaloops should not win, lack of variation and not worth that title.
Just hoping, all riders will go home without injury, that's the most important at the end.
Good winds and good luck to everyone!
