im guessing that many of you are like me in that skiing...you know, does it for you. makes you tick. turns you on! Personally im not happy with the whole spin to win thing, but i think that applys more so to skier orientated events such as the open. The X games is veiwer oriented, and if the skiers have to put bigger spins in to get peoples attention than so be it. if it means more kids are gonna get to the hills and get the same buzz i do then i think its archieved a great thing. Its run by a tv company, its never gonna be a true FREEstyle event, lets face it, lets just accept that and realise that it does archive something. Ill be honest this years X has pissed the fuck out of me, but i dunno, lets just hope that 2 dozen switch 1080s gets people experience what we take for granted. anyway, rant over!

If people see just cab 10's they are gonna think that skiing lacks aesthetic style, unoriginality, and it all just looks the same which is certainly not the case.

I understand what the X games are, but the Mt Dew crowd got their precious moto x rescheduled, all we're asking for is the same consideration with the original winter sport, skiing.
