yea and you got posley and pcaboo calling it "hotdogging" thata not moving shit forward i watched the same thing. If you have been on a mountain in the past 3 years anyway im sure you have seen someone skiing switch.
and its still racing gates.
X-games superpipe on Live TV and it being on ABC thats the exposure you want.
Its sunday and i am bored like the rest of you guys are all the time so i responded because i just watched it as well.

Yeah, it wasn't even close to a GS run. It was some green groomer with some really wide gates. Still cool that they went the whole way switch though.

its exposure and even though they made switch seem like it was new and never seen before, its opens the sport up to new viewers

youre right, we definatly dont want people to recognize our sport. i mean, its way cooler when no one respects us or what we are doing.

It wasn't as impressive as you think, they were going very slow, and only did like three turns before they tried a switch three.

Switch downhill, thats what I want to see. 110 ft Zero spins at 80 mph while landing and taking off from ice. That shit would be sooo ridiculously crazy.
