I thought we should hate on the fact that they won't be able to hit the big kicker at the end because they are so close together

channel gaps are so fun and badass.

But I do have a hard time trying to grapple this:

Channel gaps, unless you're a girl, are meant to be hit from one side to the other, thus making the rider travel heavily to one side. So who the fuck though it would be smart to have a jump that forces the rider to the center immediately after the channel gap, rather than the side, and so close? the last jump is practically in the landing! major fail

HATE

I just watched Jon's blog and the course looks crazy. Its going to be interesting to say the least. I thought the different features than in the past like the channel gap and canon jump were sick but everyone hates it. Andreas "No... just no" hahaha

why can't the X organizers add both a ski and snowboard rail jam? two or three features and let the slayage commence.

because as much as you and i would love to watch that and would appreciate it, the other 208934729387498327 people watching would be bored. it "doesnt make for good tv" cuz it's got no "wow" factor. on another note, i hope the x games course shapes up and these riders figure it out cuz i'm excited to watch sunday.

are you kidding, he wasnt even close to grabbing, heck he wasnt even close to knee grab, lol. dorey's double is so much better than everyone elses its rediculous and his run was super stylie and technical, but he couldnt hold it together

probably not, but it looks way cooler to the general public to see a guy going 20 feet in the air doing flips and spins than a guy hiking and sliding metal relatively close to the ground going no miles per hour. and besides...they'd have no use for MEGAMO in a rail jam.

The course is fucked up, speed checks after every hit, people are getting hurt, and andreas hatviet is the only one who has spun a 10, this is bs, they need to take out the channel gap or figure it out.

Dorey kneee grabs and opens up while he's still upside down and it makes it look sketch like he's flailing his leg.  He did it bad at Dew Tour second stop, and a little bit at X.  Tanner's looks composed and like he could land it whenever, and he doesn't knee grab so much.

Its just made that way so that Sal can use the phrase "Going through the canyon" on every single run. During snowboarder next trick or whatever its called they said it every single run and probably used it more than the word "amplitude"
