The 2014 edition of X Games Aspen is officially underway. Following this afternoon’s announcement that X Games extended its stay at Aspen/Snowmass through 2019, 16 men took to the superpipe, vying for one of eight spots in Friday’s final.

Highlights of the evening included David Wise bagging a 94.00 on his second run of the night; Ferreira and Currier showing impressive consistency, as they’re fresh off of podium finishes in Park City; plus, Yater-Wallace returning to competition after having suffered a collapsed lung and multiple broken ribs at Dew Tour. Torin was recently named to the U.S. Olympic freeskiing team, despite having been sidelined for the duration of the Olympic qualifying season.

While Torin’s return to form is certainly noteworthy, it was his critical remarks on Twitter that captured most folks’ attention tonight. Torin made a statement re: the number of double corks being thrown during the qualifying round; he wrote:

Their should be a rule against 2 dubs in pipe qualifying, that bidness ain't chyll yadda I mean

Among those missing the cut tonight: Aaron Blunck, who also clinched an Olympic berth this week; Mike Riddle, who has yet to win a medal here at X Games; and Noah Bowman, who received many compliments on his skiing this evening, both in person and via social media.

Professional skier Banks Gilberti asserts Bowman should have received a higher score for his second run of the night; ’twas an excellent run, indeed.

Nice job judges, you guys really know how to judge on who has absolutely no soul. #robots #xgames
