And that is why I don't like icy slopes, at all.

Hope he is ok, that was gnar. Especially the seizure. Ugh.

this leads me to believe that racers need twins... weren't they made to hold an edge better originally anyways? that was a pretty brutski crash though.

from what we've heard, none. He was pretty banged up though. He should be getting a diagnosis tomorrow...at least that's what his family says. Everyone's pretty scared though...this dude needs to win, he's one of the few really chill racers.

This is the reason why my wife doesn't watch skiing. She would never let me race again.

apparently they changed the knoll last minute, so it was completely different from practice runs.

are you retarded?

twins were originally made for ballet skiers.


that has to be one of the worst crashes i've ever seen. you all still think racers are pussies?

I have heard that since there is not a solid point where the edge ends, the ski supposedly releases from turns more smoothly when it has a twin.

Is this what you are talking about?

yes you are right, poc's are great in bad crashes, and to the above post, twins are good for skiers like us, but there is obviously a reason they have not been used in racing...

HOLY SHIT.  It doesn't even look like he went that big until they show that final angle.  That guy is fucking flying!  Jesus, I can't even begin to imagine how bad that must hurt, especially when he whips his head into the groud.
