Is it just me or is Mike Douglas's voice mad annoying when he comments on the X Games. And in Winter X Slopestyle on that Laurent Favre guy's run he said one of his spins was unnatural, but he spun that way every other time except for once.

They probably do script it, but you just have to watch the run to see it wasn't unnatural and that wasn't my main point, his voice is just annoying and twangy.

Yeah but I mean everyones got a different idea on what tricks are like no one can agree what a misty is or a bio vs corked. everyone has their own lingo or opinion

a lot of the espn guys dont know the tricks. tanner did an obvious corked 9 in slopestyle and the guy said it was a dspin 9. just try to zone them out.

once u can ski midwest dirt and grass, you can call yourself good

LOOK AT THE AMPLITUDE.. is HE SKIING OR B.A.S.E. JUMPING?!?!??!?! OH WAIT HES GOT ONE MORE... i think mike d's voice on espn is annoying and he clearly doesnt call the trick right.. like exactly what soemone said hall did a cork 9 and called a d 9.. and i think jon got screwed in slopestyle from his first run.. as clean and technical of a run as you can get

I just don't like how they pronounced Phil Belanger's last name wrong.

They said it like 'Belanjer' when the actual correct pronunciation is 'Belawnjay.'

we had a slopestyle comp at the local hill. my friend did weak 360 and lincolned off of the side of the table, kind of nutting himself on the edge. anyways, to sum things up.. 'great run, garrett!'

i still laugh when i think of it.

you would be hard-pressed to find someone that does a better job. all the people that would be better would probably be competing. i think the x-games hires someone with senior status to commentate. but md does a good job.
