Replying to Mike Douglas would totally throw off my flavor...
Did anybody else notice at the X Games how he would always countdown "3..2..1!" whenever somebody was about to either jump in slopestyle or air off the first hit in superpipe? Even in Dumont's quarter pipe fall mike douglas was in the booth, counting down for the crowd. This just seems to be bad etiquette towards the skiers. He might as well cough over the mic as somebody is about to hit a rail...or worse, give the crowd his little "you would not imagine how tough sliding on one of these very slippery railings on waxed skis can be..." speech during my run. Granted most of the skiers are listening to loud music during their runs, i'm still sure it's pretty easy to hear Mike's bad in-run commentary. Natural rhythm is important during a run, and i would be pissed if somebody was counting down to the moment i pop off the lip. Anybody else notice this?
