Wondering if anyone else is watching and wants to post on performances.
Womens SS right now. Jenny Jones just threw a decent run. Hoping it sparks Jaime Anderson to throw down something bigger on her next run. I know she's got the skills to do it.
After all the hype, I'm gonna LMAO if somebody smokes Shaun White in the pipe. But, they're gonna have to SMOKE him to win gold. If it's even close, White wins gold.
Lago just didn't look like he had any speed at all going into that second run. He said his knees were killing him, I'm just wondering if he put everything he had left into that first run? I guess we shall see.
I'm pretty sure the announcer just came during Shaun White's run. I mean, it was nice, but he nearly bailed. I don't see that being better than Lago's first one. It can get a lot cleaner than that.
What the fuck... seriously? THAT run gets a 97.33?! You gotta be kidding me. Shit is rigged.
I'm pretty sure you could come in and do a run of varied triple corks going 20+ feet on each one and still lose to Shaun White in the pipe at X-Games. ESPN and those sponsors don't spend all that money to see their poster boy come up short. And THAT is why the majority of the core snowboarding community can't stand the guy. It's not necessarily him, it's just the ridiculous hype.
Ladley should've just ditched that twelve on the last hit. He scrubbed it on the first two runs and the announcers were saying that he'd been scrubbing it every time during practice too. Just throw a ten and post a score and give yourself a chance at a medal.
Ah well... At least Louie and Lago both landed on the podium. So I'm happy.
Not looking forward to listening to all the hysteria on the matter again next year tho. Now that he's got another gold the hype is going to get bigger and bigger.
yeah that was really odd. the announcer was like "JP's having his own 5050 party" LOL
