I'm gunna drive to Whistler and beat him to death with his own ski poles. He must have said it 25 times in the span of about 40 minutes. Holy crap that was so fucking annoying. Why don't they get a new announcer. I hate Mike Douglas.

my question is why he always has pictures of him screaming in his ads in ski magazines. He also has that in some ski mvoie segments. its wierd.


And they need another commentator along with mike douglas(not davenport).

I hate when people hate of Mike. Like when we were at Freshtival, there were these kids infront of me who kept yelling things like, "Douglas is a fag!!" Like where do they get off? Mafuckers have no respect.......




bahah! that sounded funny...

no

twins were invented in the 30's. K2 made the poacher in 95(I think). Douglas def helped with the 1080 with the video "Air Carving"

while i understand how you might get annoyed with the overuse of a phrase or term in a comp setting - it is a pretty dumb idea to post about it with such overzealous vigor.This is especially the case when the target of your post is the godfather of newschool skiing, and esteemed individual whom a great number of people respect greatly.

so now its time to man-up and apologize for your blantant error.

I love how they talk about the tricks and then they say "mike douglas knows what hes talking about, he can do all of these tricks and knows how difficult they are." and then i thought to  myself wtf i highly doubt mike douglas can do a huge cab7 like lo lo or a dope cab 10 like tj or anyone else there. Correct me if im wrong tho.

its better that a fellow skier is calling the shots, as opposed to sal masikala or that retard who was calling last years gravity games, calling a misty five a "dumptruck"

sure...buddy might have supposedly invented twins (did he actually...or did somebody else...we need proof here!!)...i just personally dont see why people hail to him...i know a lot of people that can rip shit on moguls, bust misty's everywhere, and do way gnarlier rails than him but they aren't announcers or anything...hes old, hes burning out, and hes definately not one of my favorites...fuck respect and all that shit...my opinion is mine and it stands

The guy deserves a bunch of credit and you can't argue that. As far as the commentating goes, he is getting a little old and cheezy. Yes it's good to have a fellow freeskier doing it, But i say let Turpin take over for Mike because that would be some funny shit and he's good at it.

He shouldn't be a commentator at xgames, nor should uncle e (if im not mistaken. he comes to the expos here and he just isnt quite in the loop). I have respect for douglas. He has done a lot. But redundant, and quite frankly, dumbed down commentary isn't really appealing...

whatever, just because you guys are on newschoolers and follow the sport and already know what every trick is, the other hundreds of thousands of people know nothing about it and mike D makes it understable for them

and again, this thread is from january, how can it happen that this comes up another time????

not regarding the fact that this thread is older than the last soccer world cup, i am pretty sure that mike douglas could say "style master" ten times more often in a lot shorter time if he wants to.
