Or you could look at it as, in a poll for who the best performer in a winter sport is, one snowboarder is beating out two skiers... Unless he loses... so let's hope he does. Shaun's stuff was too hucked to beat Tanner this year anyway. Where are those poll riggers from the last few days who voted a few dozen times?
Yeah but what I meant was, there's no Moto X athletes, no Skier/Boarder X athletes, no snowmobiles... and just one snowboarder. Goes to show that skiers were just a liiiiiil bit sicker this year!
first of all don;t get me wrong he is sick but....
he didn't throw 3 1080's he therw 2 and one was hucked as fuck. The fact the the announcer went ape shit on a fact that wasn't real, it made the judges score him higher.
And in pipe he scored higer on his second run even though he dragged his hand like MAD all the way doen the wall into the tranny... and they still gave him like a 92, higher then his first run, whioch was mint... x-games wanted him to win.
regardless of how his 10's looked he still won 2 gold. I voted for Tanner, I wouldn't have voted any other way. The fact of the matter is this, 2 gold is more than 1 gold.
I know he hucks. I've always though snowboarders were infinately less steezy than skiiers.
Hopefully people keep voting for Tanner and he pulls it out.
White won 2 golds. He won pipe in a field of snowboarders that is much deeper than the skier's, and he won slopestyle which is probably the most comprehensive judgment of a rider's ability. No offense to Schiller, but to do one trick that everyone else was doing and call him the best athlete in the X-Games is pretty insulting to alot of other guys.
And Tanner didn't even deserve gold in pipe. Then again, did White?
the announcers were shitting themselves every run white took, and they were all sloppy (and sometimes missrepresented, he didnt do back to back 10s in slope)
but then again i dont give two shits about white.
go tanner!
if tanner was in top and they had a slopestyle he woulda most likly picked up a gold and his run would have been better than whites. there ya go. vote tanner
