Disappointing

This year I was disappointed by the X-games. Not beacuse of the shitty announcing, or false information but in the horrible display that was slopestyle. Slopestyle was absolute shit, where were the pretzels, the octograbs, zeros. Skiing is not snowboarding, athletes get over the inferiority complex and create your own.

huh?
I saw lots of cool shit. With no slope last year, and a million switch ups ( I saw some pretzys) and some nice rodeos and some dec spins. What more do you want?
YOu do a run thats going to win, if that includes whatevr youre talking about then I bet they would throw it. Zero's? cmon man, look good? ya. win comps since 01? no.
I thought it was awesome.
the top three runs were sick sick sick.
so were the rest.
if not a little slow.
Get over your self. If you think you can do better,Id like to see you try.

I think you missed something somewhere, cause if you think the slopestyle sucked then you havent watched candide's run. You have to realize they are not in some style or steeze contest. They are here to win and to do that they need to do tech runs with many spins. They can afford to zero spin one hit.
