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... :-)

my run would be:

270 out of flat rail
ollie to nose tap down rail
hand drag 180 or tailpress to late 180 off of hitching post
normal ski slide shifty to switch out of cannon box
straight air with a tweaked blunt over first jump
if i made the fist jump shifty to spread eagle over 2nd jump
nollie 180 off the 3rd nuckle
on the landing i would do one of those things were you lie down while moving and roll over

I'd probably get a 6 for that run.

I hate to quote drunk tanner hall, but that's not real skiing.
competing like that trivializes the ability of so many good skiers, many of whom are doing things that are far more creative and progressive, but are not getting the proper recognition because they don't compete at the highest level. Skiing isn't by nature a competitive sport. 99% of the time is spent not competing at all. the X-games should start a progress event or a real slopestyle event where you don't have to hit huge booters and do crazy double flips, but are still able to go big and get creative. Or even a video contest for the most progressive video segment so that the real creative skiers can get noticed by the general public as well. They are after all the ones riding at local resorts, not their own private half pipe. (but of course that will never happen)
