this is how they start the begining of the snowboard pipe story:
"Beware: Watching men's SuperPipe finals may make you dizzy.
The old snowboarding cliché, "spin to win," has officially become an understatement. As of Monday's men's SuperPipe final, you've got to multiply that spin times eight, because the back-to-back 1080 is the combination of the moment.
And we have a hunch that 1200s are right around the corner."
I dont even know where to start with this one...

you are telling me that those tricks that were in the pipe last night were mroe stylie than skiing huh? i guess we will see tonight but 90 percent of those guys were flailing all over the place. the only 10s i thought were stylie were shauns with the nose grab and masons with a nose grab in his first run i think. everbody else basically touching there board. touching your board is not steezy

Snowboarding will never look as cool as skiing because the grabs just aren't as cool. Twekaed out mutes, tails, truck drivers, etc...skiing grabs just look sicker.

what about antii auttis first hit 10s... nose grab and soooo huge, he had time to spin a 12 or 14 if he wanted, he slowed the rotation down so much at the end of the spin it was ridiculous
All times are Eastern (-5)
