most of my 7 attempts end up as 560's, maybe they have the same problem, and that's why they were confused.

i really disagree with that!

X Games is only the biggest corporate whoring of skiing and by no means the pinnacle of competition. it's actually only the "Dumont vs Hall" soap opera that ESPN builds up

the real pinnacle of competitive skiing is the US Open. that is the event that discovers new talent and truely progresses the sport. all the x-games does is bring the sport to the masses.

HAHAHA... I made a post about this earlier after I saw it when it was on TV for the first time.  Probably one of the poorest excuses of commentating I've ever witnessed.  I don't care if you don't know shit about action sports, it is obviously impossible for someone to land forward doing a rotation of 560 degrees.  Plus he fucked up a bunch of other stuff too.  These people don't even try.

"A big 900 right here, he'll land switch...takes off switch, nice 560"

This proves that next year they should have regular ESPN guys doing the actual live announcing. 

In related news, in the slopestyle Mike D called Jon's switch 5 a switch 7 at least twice, and both times failed to realize that Jon was skiing away facing forward.

The video is called "X Center: WX12 Ski SuperPipe Mens' Results"

On the main WX12 video page (the one the link redirects to), scroll almost all the way down in the box with a scroll bar.
