if they think that car rail is good enough to use in the finals, i'm gonna cry, and then set fire to the car.

i dont think they will put that car in, everyone hates it. im betting it will be just like the day of the oakley comp, 3 hits with the battleship and another option where the tent up top was and the staircase at the bottom.

yeah it is on the big park... i'm just really afraid that they're gonna set it up so that i wont be able to hit anything...ughh that would suck...all i'm askin for is like 1-2 boxes and a flat rail and smaller jumps....that would be sweet...but i'm sure they're gonna make everything super massive and impossible...i just dont wanna show up and not be able to do anything...

does anyone know if they're judging girls skiers and snowboarders together? that would suck... so i'm sure they will lol.

yea, it's just a girls overall division. not girl skiers and girl boarders in different divisions. When they put that car in the big park, did they just drive it over there? hahaha

i'm assuming they're keeping the staircase w/ 3 options in it and i'm trying to figure out if i'm gonna try the box in the middle... i'm 85% sure i'm gonna try it...ha it scares the crap outta me i'm such a wimp...i'm just afraid that my balance is gonna be off and i'm gonna be leaning back too far...and we all know what happens then
...of course since i've been thinking about it so much i gotta do it now...

KT was the kid on next years trouble makers. he has more style than the 80s and everybody knows it. and everybody knows he should have been on the podium instead of the other two. i have no problem with ben. he's good. he just needs to learn some more style and he will be completely sick. but dan, who got third... lost his skis on a 7 and still placed. thats redic. i love how people who fall, have no style on rails, and DONT GRAB THEIR SPINS PLACE. boulder judging = shit. how can you have no style, yet, still win a slopeSTYLE?

kt has a green and grey preditor jacket w/ next years tm's and i did compete i have the obnoxious orange oakley camo jacket with this years pe's. unfortunetly i fell on the first hit and crushed my ankles, so the only other thing i did was a true tail 5 off the last hit and slide the last 2 rails.

again...comp at boulder, screwed at boulder. it is complete bullshit that no one fucking recognizes when someone actually grabs their skis with a spin. i grabbed all three of my rotations, and double grabbed my last one. then they put a kid on the podium who's skis fell off, and spins all pencil'd out...what the fuck. i dont care who reads this, dan mcdonald did not deserve third place, and then when he's on the podium acting all big and throwing gang signs and shit makes me sick. comp's in this area need to start recognizing style in skiing, and judge a hell of a lot more modernly. i agree with miller...dubois was the only legit kid on the podium

i, like dan, fell on my first hit. i slid down the landing got up, put my shit on and skied down knowing that when one falls in a slopestyle, thats it youre done. i wasnt a douchbag and holding up the comp by hiking back up to get enough speed to hit the next jump and continue on. ever watch the usfso or the x games, you fall your score is done regardless of what happens later. so dont be a fuckup and hold shit up if you fall. also, judges need to watch some up to date ski movies, not circa 98, and learn this one word. what was it, oh yeah style

^i HATE IT when people (tanner hall esp.) do that........i really dont get it.......it makes you look so ridiculous...

dang you got screwed at the rail jam too, right? that sucks...boulder's judging sucks heh but what else is new...

and i dont see why they dont let you look at the sheet or whatever and see what you got points off for or what they really liked....or how your score compared w/ other people's
i knew my run sucked from the beginning, so i wouldnt want to see what they gave me but still...

^ that was my biggest gripe; that they couldnt even let us look at the scoring sheet. they claimed someone grabbed it, someone threw it away, a lady had it upstairs, and god knows what else. it seemed like they were really trying to hide something, honestly. perhaps hiding the fact that they made a mistake and didnt want to make themselves look like retards who cant read a spreadsheet?
