Why are the jumps so small? How are you supposed to do anything cool.

I agree, and cork 7s off tiny jumps into moguls at full speed is ridiculous.  Their style is obviously different, but they are amazing skiers.

I am just thinking they could buiold the jumps just slightly differently and add more air with the same speed.

I'm a mogul skier, but I agree with you completely. I wish jumps were bigger in mogul courses, but just watch men's moguls tomorrow. With speed mogul jumps can be taken pretty big.

It must take so much skill to throw a trick off a booter, then get straight back into mogulling. After I land a trick off a jump, it takes me a few seconds to compose myself, etc. I'm not sure I could land on bumps, then carry on racing after that

they said that a backflip was "corked a little bit"
my family bitched when i said off-axis cuz cork is when you're spinning
am i right?

i think corked can be used for off axis spins of any kind, but i'm not sure either.

anyone else get pissed off by hannah k's pigtails? i can't stand them, looks like a cross between a super ugly chick, an 8 year old, and the band camp nerd from american pie

cork = off-axis spin that is leaned back (no inversion).

My mom and grandma are freaking out at every single trick thrown.

This just happened:

*skier does iron cross backflip*
GMA: "Oh my god!"
Mom: "Did she cross her skis?"
G: "Yes with a backroll"
M: "Imagine the years of training it would take to learn to cross them like that, while in the air!"

This, but every single run..

And everytime someone falls, they think they are seriously injured haha.

"Oh god!"
"I think she's really injured!"
"Oh she's skiing the rest or the slope!"
"I hope they get her to a hospital"

Other stupid things they have said:

"Do you find these on the blue or black runs?"
"How do you spin in the air with the poles in your hand" <---this question didn't even make sense
And they keep saying that my friend (who snowboards) does the moguls
Aaaaaaand just of five seconds ago, they pretty much think park-skiing and moguls are the same.

How the hell did that one chick compete with a torn ACL?  That makes me feel like I can ski groomers with mine, which I probably can but am not willing to take the chance.

apparently you get docked marks for bending your knees in the air... isnt that lame? limits so many things... as for bigger jumps, that might give them two much speed before the moguls

Choke on a cock.


Michelle is a phenomenal skier and did a trick at 35 years old that most 18 year guys would not touch.

they dont at all. cypress was closed a while ago due to the lack of snow and they probably took all the snow around and put it into the course

They are an official sponsor for the US Ski Team and have been making mogul skis a couple seasons now.  Boards are even posted on their website, unlike most companies who still make a mogul ski and don't bother to tell anyone.

You'd better be able to back yourself up pretty well calling out olympic mogul skiers. I haven't seen Heather McPhie ski in a few years, but the last time I did she could rip harder than just about anyone else. Also keep in mind they can all do better tricks than they were doing in the runs, you just have to tone things down a bit when you're going full speed through moguls in an Olympic run.

the announcers were even saying at one point how most athletes were toning down the level of diffeculty in tricks because of how the execution counts for so much more.

I have seen some thugged out park skiers rape the shit of of moguls.  Almost all of the mogul skiers were wearing baggy-ass pants.

And did anyone else notice how all the skis (besides Moment) had old ass graphics, or were just really old.  One girl had a pair of Salomons with the original 1080 graphic, and all the k2's were rocking old school graphics.

I'm not calling out the olympic skiers, I'm calling out the announcers. I'm sorry that you and everyone else took it the wrong way I didn't mean it like that. I meant that Mosley and the other dude, were oblivious to the advances in freestyle skiing. I'll admit a D Spin 7 or a 720 is hard, I can only 5, but the announcers were hyping it up far too much. I think that mogul skiing itsself is incredible, but the announcers may want to update themselves in the freestyle skiing world next time. It's just that announcing turned into every trick done was nearly impossible, but in actuality, some women are throwing cork 1080s in moguls (last week in NASTAR mogul)
