I can't say i was very impressed.

What were your thoughts?

I thought that Davis guy was riding real sick, but he just messed up a few landings. He was my favorite to watch.

hey jas whats up dude? its been awhile!!!

anyways...was just thinking the same thing when i read this thread and then realized who it was who posted it!!! Anyways....that davis guy was the only one who held his grab the whole way through his tricks, def the best style out there. Although did notice White was the only one doing anything exciting on the rails...everyone else was lame on those.

A lot of them crashed durning their runs

White would have won if they landed the 1260, that guy who did the doublebackflip 1080 thing was sick. Its nice to see the slopestyle before the skier's hit it

so now that you've all seen the course...what do you want to see get thrown down over that massive gap jump when the skiers get to kill it?

i think like a massive slow switch truck driver cork 7 would be sick....

I dunno the rails were just like obstacles to not screw up on to get to the jumps

di they have the same exact stair case setup twice?

or were they a little different...

and was it just me or did the jumps onto the rails seem really skiiny, almost too skinny for skis?

Im really impressed by Danny Davis, never heard of him before.  Super steezy park rider thats for sure.   Shaun whites first run was lame, but he still beat Danny Davis style somehow....wtf....its not over yet, im watching it on a local abc channel right now.  I know the outcome, but watching the runs is interesting.

Yah i was soooo stoked that she won!!! She was clearly the best rider out there. I don't care if she was throwing 3s and 180s... she was SICK.

It's nice to see the judges take into consideration style and not just turn it into a huck fest.

Tell her i'm proud of her and she was sick!

danny davis has always been my favorite snowboarder. the one flip he did in his first looked almost like a triple cork..
