its embarrassing how amateur the commentating is

X games is the pinacle of competitive skiing and there are people commenting who frankly have no idea who any one is, what they are throwing down and what movement they are pushing

espn, this is pathetic

i just don't know if i'm supposed to laugh or cry, so i did both.

"iron cross"
"backside grab"
"15m out"
"560 x4"
"a spinning 1260"
"Jussi Oksanen" HE'S A SNOWBOARDER!!!

i mean seriously, was this an exercise in how to crucify a sport on television or has someone been infusing espn's ventilating system with crack? amateur beyond belief.

and that ec headwear ad is starting to give me epilepsy.

anyone who took basic geometry would hear themselves say that and say "wait a minute, that's not right at all"

CONCLUSION:

ESPN failed high school

espn has turned x games into a joke for anyone who knows anything about skiing. how fucking stupid can you be to call a 720 a 560. and mix up pete with jossi oskanen or whatever. its simply assanine

they got all the spins wrong.  he said that petey fell on a 900, but it was a 1080.  they also said simon stuck a 9 or something, but it was a 7.  and 560 is just sad.  and jussi odsjogfihewoifew

The comenator does not know his spins at all. When tanner and simon threw 5's he said 'big airs", when they threw 720's he calls them '560's, when a guy throws a 1080 he somehow says its a 900 to switch in the pipe. Wtf is he on?
