I was watching the jon ollson invitational and couldnt help but notice that john won every round with a kangaroo flip and did nothing else i thought that skiing was a varietty of tricks not some stupid double flip the guy perfects and does in every contest run and still wins. Sorry about the rant but other people out there must feel like i do. If so say what you think of this
there were plenty of rounds that jon didn't win they had comps for like 180, 360 and so on and he didn't win those he won legit big air rounds with that trick which is legit.
I'd like to point out the obvious fact that the riders could not do the same trick more than once during the entire competition. therefore... you're dumb
that's not unfair. there wasn't a rule stating that no one else could do a double flip. if you had a trick that garaunteed you a victory wouldn't you throw it every time?
Yeah... someone should punish Jon for being an innovator, flying 20 of the worlds best skiers to his home town, giving them a key to free drinks, concerts, women, etc. Picking them up from the airport and driving them to parties in BMW's, etc.
Jon was the first to do his double flip.... he wanted to unveil it to the world in a big way, and did so with slaying his own contest. Dumont won almost every pipe comp this year with the same run... Call the cops for consistency.
i don't know i agree. kangaroo flips are weak. to me at least, i agree with t hall they look like circus tricks. i personally prefer steezed out corkd shit with ill grabs but to each his own. and the joi is also lame as hell i think the vibes are corny!!!! candides invite is way more of the hook!
first that was over a year ago
second he didnt mix it up cause he knew that he could spank everyone with one trick
third he relised that was kinda gay so put a "no repeat tricks" rule in his 07 comp
im sure he got criticism for that. It probly why this year you had to do a different trick every time. If he had won again people still would complain that it was unfair.
they should but with the other comps there is so much tension andd presure joi is almost like an all star comp no one there has anything to prove like they do in ski tour or x games
