Don't think this is a repost. Includes the rails, which we didn't get in Jon's coverage.

You're not trying...but you are.

Mike D is the man. You may be too "core" to realize that the X Games is THE biggest thing to happen to freeskiing. Yeah, it's not the best competition and no they don't televise slope, but irregardless X is what mainstream culture remembers. X made the Tanner/Simon pipe duel of a few years back real big, and it made Shaun White into a household name. So it's a pretty big stage, ESPECIALLY for someone like Wallisch who has very little big time competition experience.

You have a Rime Knits avatar so I won't uber pwn you here but god knows I could.

Two things.

1. Pay some respect to your elders without douglas there may noT be skiing as we know it.

2. Any rider when put infront of all of america in the biggest skiing compition of the year is going to be a little nervous. Even wallnuts.

are you fucking serious? god how can kids be so ignorant these days. mike was on the new canadian airforce, and helped design the salomon 1080. mike, with the help of a few other dudes, built this sport

You are correct however Mike Douglas is included in "guys like that"  Im pretty sure Mike was a little older then the other guys and was pretty much their "captain"

shame on mike (i hate to say) for completely helping to push this sport into a double fest. Yea for the judges it may be the reality ( you need two or atleast one double,) but I just hate hearing that you NEED a double to win. I would be so okay with a dope spins with steezy double grabs and flawless landings, and more focus on rails, so everyone just doesnt 450 on 270 off

you are wrong... kind of. three phils weren't part of the NCAF. Shane Szocs, Mike Douglas, Vincent Dorion, JP Auclair, JF Cusson, and Marc McDonald where the New Canadian Air Force....

You have to remember when it comes to announcing, they aren't announcing for us, the people that know what is going on. They're commentating for the general public who know fuck all about skiing.

walkers run was definitely my favorite. most style and creativity. other then that, bobbys last hit was nuts and sammy was looking so banger on that rainbow rail.

I agree. Not the best run but definitely my favorite to watch. The zero spin tail tap on the hitching post was ill. Stoney was killin it for sure!
