Torstein pulling a triple cork in first round!?
Stud.:yahoo:

Halldor as usual trowing the most stylish, unique tricks. Would way rather see his style of riding in the finals than a triple cork fest but I guess they have a place in the sport too.

That was a gnarly bail he had though I honestly think he might have been trying a quad flip:dunno: I really hope he isnt seriously injured, hate to see that kind of stuff

Man, that Big Air contest looked like an excellent way to tenderise yourself.

Was 18 min of guys hucking their bodies into tricks that weren't quite dialled yet, then eating it and getting back up to huck themselves off the jump again. They're definitely feeling that tomorrow.

That said, that switch back triple cork from Torstein was kinda crazy.

No. I just feel that a REAL snowboarder gets what he deserves by winning. And is it just me or am I the only one guessing that he's a jerk because pretty much none of the riders like him or talk to him.

And it's not like I've made threads saying I hope he wrecks and loses, I'm just not as big a fan as him as I am with other riders that are all stoked after they stomp a triple cork, is it okay with you that I don't cheer for everyone?:icon_scratch:

And plus where did i say anything bad about Shaun in that post? All's I was saying was that it's pretty crazy that after wrecking off that huge kicker alot of times that in 14 hours there's no way he's not gonna be sore at all and I was actually kinda thinking it was funny that Shaun was in an ice bath when Mark was hucking himself off a massive kicker.

What do you want him to do? He pulled his 2 biggest jumps and had already sent it for 18 min.

FYI, 18 min is a really long time to be hucking yourself off a big air jump repeatedly.

Go send yourself off a huge icy jump and crash repeatedly for 18 min and see how keen you are to keep doing it. It's easy to sit at home and judge until you realize the toll those crashes take on you.

"knocked out...like a king" haha thank god halldor's alright/functioning...I've been procrastinating to his vids on youtube all year so far and I don't know if I'm ready to be productive again
