I like slopestyle the most. Snowmobiling gets kind of homo after a few times watching it.

Starts with Ski superpipe/ some gay snowmobiling thing, they put way too much snowmobile stuff into x-games IMO, starting thursday at 9 PM EST or for those on the west coast 6PM PST.

everyone that doesnt ride skis or a snowboard should be shot, and anyone who rides a snowboard should not be allowed to compete. I was watching snowboard slopestyle from the Dew Tour, and they literally have not gotten any better for about 5 years. Its still cab 9 this, rodeo 7 that. fuck them its not even entertaining

i was just on freeskier.com and did this poll called "who do you wanna win the superpipe at X games" andDUMONT is winning it, followed by thall and dorey. the people who go on freeskier regularly must be huge homos csue dumont should definetly be losing that poll.

dumonts only strength against the other skiers is that he gets HUGE. like far bigger than anyone else. but that takes away from his number of hits, which kills his score. i think last year he only had like 4 maybe 5 hits where hall had like 6. and halls technicallity was much more insane. so im predicting hall takes it over dumont AGAIN. dumonts only shot is on slopestyle.

i dont think dumont has any shot at slope cuz he blows it on rails and doesnt have a double or even any interesting tricks or grabs. im very frustrated hes in slope and big air. a misty 1080 mute is cool but not at the same time. at least phil casabon is in slope and matt walker. get peter olenick outta there

Simon being one of 4 in big air is a fucking joke. he's gonna get his ass kicked, and take someones place who could do way better.

yea im pissed about big air this year too. i dont understand why they only have 4 people competing. they should put just as much emphasis on big air as they do in pipe or slopestyle. thats my opinion anyways. and anakin skywalker better not be a commentator this year or im gonna be soooo pissed
