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)
What in the fuck is going on with McMo's scores??? He's in all likelihood going to the finals, but that was easily the best run of this qualifier and they have him 3rd???
Yes judging seems suspect to say the least. McMorris definitely had the best run in that field. Oh well the finals will separate the men from the boys.
Not with these judges it won't. Who knows who the fuck will win. The best runs aren't getting the best scores. It's pretty much just that simple. That Smits guy got fucked out of an Olympic finals. Straight up.
Hell, maybe this is for the best. Maybe this is the type of bullshit that might actually get the snowboarding world to do what Terje has been doing and been calling for others to follow for years.
Yeah, nobody is standing behind the judge scores anymore. The BBC announcers stopped calling the runs and were just asking WTF about the mcmorris score for the next 2 riders. The podium is gonna cause riots.
Jesus, that BBC announcer is horrible. Judging is even worse...... Kadona should not be up there..... Mcmorris should be 1 oe 2 and chuck should be 4th..... Just basked on clean runs and technical aspect
I don't really get why they haven't taken it from FIS. If the top riders and Shaun pulled out, NBC would have shat bricks and thrown their weight in too. Is there no one competent in the snowboard competition community that can put it together? Or is it a waste of time/money because they can't have sponsors? FIS must make money somehow.
Love it. Judging was alright. Good judging balance of switch, rails, jumps, airtime, clean landings and creativity. I would of had Stale #1 Sage #2 Parrot #3.
As much as I like McMorris, He kind of looked robotic this tourney.
if it's slopeSTYLE, then the best run did get gold
2nd and thrird, idk...you can't just ignore all the hands down and buttchecks
score one for for style over spintowin, thats what everyone is wanting right?
