Yeah so I haven't seen a skiing event in the X-Games for 3 years when I WENT there in 2000 at Mount Snow. For that reason I didn't know there was no Ski Big Air anymore. It's just pipe and slopestyle? When/why did they do away with the big air? Is it because people liked watching pipe more? I think they should have all 3 ;)

pipe and slope style is more creatative. and allows skiers to really show their skills throughout the whole run, instead of just throwing one big trick.

i think they should have all three too. the big air jump should be one of the biggest jumps ever.

true, now that you mention creativity i agree. a lot of people can do one big trick. it's much tighter to have to link tricks together throughout a run. but still, it would be fun to see big air as well.

Yeah I totally agree, though. I mean, the slopestyle and pipe are just the best, craziest events ever. I just didn't realize there was no longer a big air.
