X-Games 11 - Who will drop in switch?
Posts: 25443

Alright, so this year's X-games pipe is shaping up to be one of the most epic comps ever. With people boosting cork 10's and Laurent getting massive airs both regular and switch, the level of technicality in this contest will be unlike anything ever before.
My question - Will someone do the unthinkable and drop into the pipe switch?
Is skiing even at this level? Who would be the first in your opinion? Would the judging as it stands right now adequately score and reward such a move?

no one, its too hard for mere mortals and gods alike.
we fear dropping in switch cause it will tear time and space itself...
however, who ever wins bronze will drop in switch. Guarenteed.

Should clarify more actually, a full switch drop compared to a going-in-regular-then-popping-a-180-to-your-first-hit. So, you would start from the top of the in run switch, then go up the tranny, over the lip still switch and hit the wall switch for your first air.

answer.
someone who is maybe juuust an outsider to win or medal. Noone who a real chance to win is gunna miss the oppertunity to go HUGE on the first hit.
i hope someone proves me wrong tho.

im sure alot are going to do it, especially since it was done last year, its shown a new light.
kind of like in the summer games when 1 backflip was done and it was epic and the next year backflips were amatuer hour and it had to be built on

Speed my friend. Speed makes you go high. Speed may not be there to the same extent after a butter.
