Soo yes this is my first post on my new account and it is indeed another X-games post. I know its getting pretty repetitive but hear me out. I was reading NS and check the article about the slopestyle finals. At the end, there is a pictures of the top 3 on the podium. TJ, Sammy and Colby are all full smiles and having a blast. I was just soo stocked to see that even in the most competitive contest of the year, some riders are able to put the steps of the podium out of their heads and just enjoy the fact that skiing may very well be one of the best sports on the planet!
PS: I say hi to all of you and hope to be able to ride till I die!

people say skiing is an individual sport, but its not really, you ski with others, you enjoy it with others.
and the ski community especially the pros are a tight group, they do alot together and most a good friends.

Couldn't agree with you more.
I was especially stoked to see TJ take the comp after all he'd been through.

For sure its good to see him back on top! Espacially its hard to come back strong in this buisness after serious injury. ( This aplies to everyone not only TJ)

Exactly, pipe is fun to watch because of amplitude, big air is fun to watch until you realize there is text voting rendering the outcome pointless, but slopestyle is by far the most fun. You have different lines guys can do, every skiers different style and any one of the competitors could take home podium. It embodies all aspects of park skiing together and should be the premiere event. Its just so true

+++ Karma man u are soo right. I was just talking about the fun factor on the podium but i really like slopestyle. But i think skiing is more than one single thing soo i guess every event is good for the sport but slopestyle is IMHO the must fun to watch
