I honestly thought that Superpipe and Slopestyle were the only events still in the Olympics, turns out BoarderX, Parallel Slalom, and Giant Slalom are still in there..
.i must live in a virtual cave bc i have not heard squat about the other 3, there is even a picture out of the US team and it's just Slope and Pipe riders.
or maybe i don't know who some of these peeps are
there is nothing about the other disciplines, nothing about them on the NBC schedule, i guess they are not even televised? no one gives a fuk? do we even have riders for the 'other' sb event
(also, if anyone knows where to stream live covertly, i no longer have cable and NBC won't let you watch on the computer unless you have a cable account somewhere)
yes it was a curler who claimed that, lol, it was radio but i was imagining a dude who looked like chris farley
feel bad for all these guys hurting, can't imagine the pressure and dissappointment of being out of the running...still haven't seen actual confirmation that torstien is out
hate to say it, i'm seing Swhite move up a spot with every injury to others...i restate my prediction for the record; gold in pipe, and a medal in slope for him....tbd
and yes, theladies the ladies
i know who would win the evening gown comp, but that's about all
somewhat annoying: Just because sb slopestyle and pipe got in the olympics they automatically have to add it for skiing too?? wtf! i think there is skierX too...i swear skiing on the whole has not had an original idea in fucking 20yrs
I thought that must be a prank and showing pics of the freestyle skiing ramp or something, how the hell could they make them that kicky? But sounds like the riders have been complaining saying the jumps are dangerous. Seb toots said it was like jumping out of a building. What the hell were they thinking?
I was watching the hot team canada play team manitoba (which seems kind of weird) and immediately regretted not curling. seems like a magnet sport for babes and slightly chubby men.
I was looking forward to slope style more than the pipe because all of the top end talent and this along with McMorris's injury is taking some of the shine off of it.
Thanks for posting, cool to see. Looks like they have modified the kickers, they actually look pretty good now. I count 3 big kickers at the end of the rail section?
In all, this may actually motivate the Olympic committee's to actually get quality park builders and work with riders on making quality courses. Ratings just took a serious dump in the US because of this.
Even though it is a "fair" competition, SW's bid to win the gold in the halfpipe just got a lot harder.
Yeah, this. I'm not judging him for it though, he's got a lot of pressure to 3-peat the pipe and he can't do it if he eats shit on the slopestyle and gets broken off.
i don't really blame him either, that third pipe gold is worth millions, if not hundreds of millions to him and his biz, i'm sure that idea is in the mix, he is nothing if not shrewd in his calculations
the course must really be bad though cuz he clearly wanted to be in slope, no one gets up from to total bodyslam like he took in the qualification if they don't actually want it
too bad though, the comp got just a bit less interesting, which is all i was after
Jesus, he is ALL they've been using on the commercials here in the US to hype the slopestyle event.
