I want to see a judge give someone a 0 for doing a switch 10 because it's so fucking boring and unoriginal.

All you sw 10 haters out there say I!

people could do other stuff if the judges werent so dumb and rate everything on the number of spins, if they werent just lookin for #spins that comp. would have been soooo much better

I agree... like shauwn white winning run is slopestyle was a 9 to 3 10s

But
what else can the judges do? they can't really award the winner for doing a zero when the other guy does a switch ten..
All i seee is something kinda sad is happenning in skiing and snowboarding. In a way we have reach a limit in capacities i mean people can do pretty much every spin n flip.
I remember when best trick or big air use to be a chance for someone to do something new and bigger. Like (i know htis is far back but) when Jf cusson threw the first switch 7 and won the X games. It seems theres nothing left to do....

Big prop for rory's double back try though

i was so pissed off when pep threw the switch seven or whatever he tried. They kept saying that he had to know that he cant win with that trick and that he must not haved wanted it enough. And when jakob did that grab they were like, thats cool but he should have thrown it in with a ten.

it sucked that dumont tried to keep it real along with pep, who both had ill looking sw 7s, and they both got jack. i wish douglas would have talked about the fact that they werent doing sw tens for a reason.

and bushfield. i agree with all previous statments. it was great when they showed the reactions when he pulled that crap.

amen. props to lolo, bushfield, and pep. tron looked so pissed, and i would have been too because that shit was retarded.

so how gay would it be if they had ski big airs like diving competitions... everyone has to choose to do a few certain tricks, requireds, they have a degree of dificulty which factor into the score. Then you have optionals where you can do what ever you want also with degree's of dificulties that factor into the over all score...

each jump gets judged on a scale of 1 to 10... the high and low score of each jump gets thrown out. Add up the points at the end and see who wins... .

pretty gay huh... show me a better aliternative, till the, keep rocking those swtich 10's with your cocks out homies!

stop talking about this shit and just boycott espn for ruining skiing because of bad judging and giving the mainstream the image that all freeskiers do is throw switch tens. i hate espn and i refuse to support a channel that promotes spin to win. period.

i love every person that didnt do a switch 10 even though they knew they had to in order to podium.. and i still give dumont props because he only did sw10 so he could move up even though his switch cork 7 truckdriver was better

and how did charles get shanked so bad on his first 10 with that ridiculous grab?

bushfields sw double back was so sick, too bad he didnt land it. His binding like broke, i kept wating it on all the replays the heelpiece like completely snapped and turned around or something, it was weird. He should've gotten a good score just for switching things up and being original though.

XGAMES was the biggest let down of the fucking season.... stupid fucking announcers and judges acting like sw 12 is the only way to win the comp... some of those sw 10's were so weak... Favre definitely should of beat some of those skiers.. big props to pep, favre, and jacob for throwing stylish shit

I, but i believe if the judges in the skiing industry allowed for more creativity, the switch ten wouldnt be so fucking overplayed

It was like USFO a year ago with worse judging and terrible announcers, basically? That's progression right there. Somebody do a fucking straight air.

What did Laurent DO?

ok, did anyone see steele's run? what was up with that? he looked so out of place and discombobulated. I know he's not the ruler of big air but he looked like he took an unexpected shit in midair. Anyone else notice that?
