looks like they think it has a speed issue once again and that it might turn into another big air comp.

There is always a speed issue on the Buttermilk SS course. It is just the exception when the speed is right.

haha, "heeliecoils"
the writer probably thought everyone mispronounced it, since obviously the only way to fix a heelpiece is with a heeliecoil.

FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKK!
I made a thread about speed problems at x and everyone was like you tool, it was the snow. Looks like the pros agree with me that X has had speed problems last year and this year.

Hopefully they change it for the Aspen Open. I'm not trying to "drop 70 feet out of the air".
