X games Slope style

is anyone else pissed the hell off that they wouldn't just wait a day or so to let the snow settle so they could have slope style! Well i fucking am. One day thats all i ask, one f-ing day. This is the biggest event for skiers besides the US Open and they went and turned it into a big air contest. For shame ESPN for shame. You owe it to the fans to try and get slopestyle to go off and this year you screwed the pooch!

You didnt even ask the skiers if they would wait a day!! Espn let their advertising and sponsors take away from the sport and they should punished! The big air should have been something cool that was spontaneous! I am sorely disapointed in the X games this year.

thats because snowboarding is viewed as the "cool" thing to do to people who have never skied or heard about the kind of skiing we do
