Anyone else catch when the announcers for mens slope final said on Alexi's second run "and thats a switch 1080, thats three and a half spins."

A lot of people bitch about how the announcers don't know enough about skiing. I just wish they knew third grade math.

It's true. Best host for 4frnt tech talk too. He should do audio books or radio or something. He should maybe do something ski show related if that ever starts up again.

he could just talk about anything, put it on a cd, and i would buy it. i would literally pay to hear his voice. i just love listening to him talk. he's gonna be like an anchorman or something when he gets old

luke VV also slays at selling stuff. at the prosale in boulder back in october he sounded better than billy mays at slinging gear out for much more than anyone else coulda made. he's basically awesome.

I think the worst was last year at euro X when the guy was talking about Wallisch playing clarinet or something in primary school. LVV is so good though
