anyone else watch the xgames monoskiing? Seems to me like their course is ridiculously hard, especially when that dude hit that massive money booter at the end and ended up somersaulting into the fence, it was brutal.

i bet they want it to be like tht. people who have disabilitys dont want people to feel sorry for them, and they want to be treated like everyone else. i give them all the props in the world for hitting tht corse. so sick, and they wouldnt have it any other way.

yeah i get that, but even the defending champion fell, and it took him like a minute just to get back up and he had no chance to win, to me it almost is becoming a race of attrition

It's way gnarly, but I'm stoked on it.

It seems that much extra weight/momentum and inertia, along with being strapped into the chair and in that position is asking for some serious injuries. whenever they line up the big jumps I'm holding my breath, but I'm stoked they send it.

going down that course was almost suicide for them, they were getting jacked up.
