My top 10 list for best freestyle ski stories of the year (FIXED)

Hey guys, sorry for the delay. My original top 10 got deleted in its entirety except for the intro after I posted it yesterday.

Like I said before, feel free to voice your opinions on the rankings and if you feel like I missed anything.

As mentioned, I kept it on a positive note, not incuding injuries like Tanner/Pk.

As for Shane's death (clearly the biggest story of the year) I made special note in the beginning of the list.

Hopefully now you all can see that I prefer writing about this stuff versus bullshit tom brady stories.

Sick article! I think Turpin's reemergence and his triple should have been on there though.

ah, forgot about that one...

if the petition for x-games works, maybe he will be on the 2010 list?

That is a great article, especially because you included the videos.

But the fact that Shane McConkeys death is not only NOT #1 but NOT EVEN ON THE LIST needs to be explained.

Shanes life was "Feel Good"

Needs to be on the list.

like i said, shane's death was such a big deal i couldn't even bear to associate it with such other minor happenings

i think my tribute to him in the intro page was a fitting way to address it

and yes shane lived his life with more of a "feel good" mentality then anyone ive ever seen

nice list.  I agree with the Shane stance, its on a whole other level of meaning to people than a top ten list.

not at all. your previous shitty post did not warrant a reply. your a fuckin idiot, you dont know anything, if you had any sort of place in the industry you would be much more respected on here. and if you really want to square up or whatever you said in the last post, i will be venturing down to salt lake city tomorrow and i would gladly.

well considering i dont live in utah, and that im in mammoth right now - that's not really going to work

nor do i recall ever threatening you

besides the fact: i would never care to beat someone into becoming a fan of my work, you're nothing without some weak-minded haters
