What Score Would YOU get ....

... On that Xgames Slope Course... .

So - given your trick bag, and the judging seen so far....  what do you think you could throw down realistically...  ?

I guess what i'm trying to assess is the growing gulf between the top pro's and good am's in skiing...  dubs aside, a lot of kids on here can throw down... but the sport at that level is getting so wild now, and it seems the break away group of guys there now (today's slope field pretty much) are pushing each other further and further. No room for even the slightest mistake (a good thing i think). I also think the gulf between the top skiiers and good am's is steaming ahead of that in snowboarding....  that slope comp was epic...

I reckon a huge Cosack of the money booter may score me a 10... :-)

Colby's first run got a 3 with 4 tricks I can't do.  So .17 would be my score.  I would do 3 backflips on those jumps and call it a day.  If it was text to win, I would get a 94.

most NSers would beat the pros. The kids on here would throw dirty rail tricks and some backs, and take the win

considering i would slide two to rails normally and probably come off early then hit the cannon and land forward maybe three the 1st jump  straight air the second, either not hit the third or eat shit on it and then ski passed everyone leave buttermilk mountain b/c it sucks and head over to highlands. I would probably get about a 1.65

The biggest one is only 68 feet, but it steps down pretty far so they are getting good air time.

I would hit the first rail, 270 out second box, straight off the cannon, or three the side, then straight air/grab all the jumps.

basic 270s on the rails, backflip off the canon and maybe some easy bios or rodeos off the jumps.

maybe a 40?

are we including practice on the course? most of us are not fortunate enough to be able to hit jumps that big so if you factor that you could probably learn new tricks and up your score... maybe.

I used to watch these TV things and be amazed on the jumps, then last year i went and skied the Dew Tour course at Mnt Snow on a day when it was pouring snow. after the big jumps a few times I realized how easy they really are. and how when they are built right, that doing big tricks on them is easy when you actually sack up. I tried a 360 and ended up with almost a 9. and my rodeo 5 turned into a 7.

when things are built big and built right, tricks just get easier. its all in your head

I'd get less than ten, especially since Colby got like a 3 or 5 or whatever and he did stuff I probably can't do. I'd straight air the jumps, maybe 180 the smallest one and maybe a 270 onto one of the rails. I'd skip the stairset thing, wouldn't even think about touching the rainbow rail and probably skip the cannon too.
I don't even know how or what to do on the "hitching post" besides just jump and tap it.

I'm wondering how some traveling circus tricks would score on the rails.

I would get whatever score they give you for standing at the top pissing your pants. I could pretty much straight slide the rails/boxes, some tap shit on the hitching post, straight air the first jump and skip the last two.

but that's better than what my pipe run would be which would consist of me riding about 1/3 of the way up the walls all the way down.

i'd probably just try a 6 onto the first rail, fall, and hope the judges give me like a 5 for effort.

here's the run I would take.

front 4 out of the flat bar
k fed the dfd
360 tap the hitching post
360 the cannon
540 the first jump
720 the second
720 the third
(all the jumps are regular and left spinning)

I would prob score around 11-12 with my estimation
