Line's big into their innovation stuff, and pete olenick costs money and hasn't invented anything new. I can't see it happening.

Yeah Salomon was the best match for him because that's where the money and the boring skiing are.

I don't think Eric Pollard and Pete Olenick could ever be with the same sponsor unless the sponsor was all over the map. Line isn't going to sponsor a guy who (i might be wrong) is a douchebag according to the stories while they allready have a solid line of skiers who aren't and bring a lot more to the table than crappy tail grabs, a cool overflip and an ugly double flip that was thought to be uncool until last year.

Yes! I hate when people get mad at you for criticizing, even if its constructive, about something I could never do, or something I can't do yet. The whole "you can't say anything until you can do it" is bullshit. Theres a difference between calling Seth out saying he sucks at skiing or saying Peter missed that grab in Yeah Dude.

good point. but its retarded that kids talk shit about a double backflip in the pipe. im in favor of a jam format for the X games. kids would quit bitching about judges not giving points for style cause the athletes would be judging each other and most of them know what style is.

definitely not bangin' on him for doing it cause its real sick and i sure as hell can't do it. BUT. i feel that when he does it, the landing lacks. like hes facing towards the bottom of the pipe(finish area). also, i fell that the rest of his run is not really up to par excluding a few hits. its like he goes oh yeah i just landed a dub in the pipe now i don't have to try the rest of my run. don't get me wrong its sick as hell but thats just my opinion.

yeah im prety sure the judges do to considering a chunk of them are/were pro skiers........ i dont like the rider judged format, it seems so organized and non legit, in reality you could have a poplar kid win when someone else skied better.
