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)
Anyone see today's qualifiers? Level of riding is the best I've ever seen. Everyone is landing their runs. Course looks flawless. Dudes I've never heard of are throwing down. Clemens Schnatschneddder or some shit put down a massive 1440 triple. Finals is going to be interesting for sure.
Edit: And McMorris got fucking robbed. a double 900, a double 10, and a triple 1440, all landed with not a hand down and he ended up 7th. It was the 2nd best run of the heat. He should tell them to fuck off and go home. The judging and announcing is a fucking joke.
Just saw mcmorris's 2nd run from today, and the interview afterwards. Yes, he was fucking robbed, and he said so in the interview. Course he said it in Canadian..."the landings are really flat and my rib hurts, I'm not very happy right now. I have no words for my score". Where's the "fuck you Russian judges"?
really didnt expect his score being that low. it was a clean run and pretty hard tricks.:dunno:
idk why people doing flat spins are getting identical scores than those doing triple corks.
I think he lost some points on the rails section. It was so-so. The jumps were fantastic though, i also expected much better score. His run was definitely better than some guys ahead of him.
I was watching some of the women's qualifiers and that Norwegian chick went down HARD. I honestly don't know what she's doing there. She just looked bad. Like someone who was endangering themselves trying to ride way beyond their ability and comfort level. I respect the guts, but she just didn't look like she belonged at this level.
The American chick from Tahoe was going way bigger than the rest of the girls. She was carrying some of those jumps damn near to the bottom of the landing areas. You don't see the girls doing that. That was impressive.

You wouldn't like it mate. Especially since the Aussie girls' pants seems to be two sizes too tight and all...
