You're such a douche... But it was expected from you.

Stoked for Elias, he deserves it big time.

I'mma second that. Let's turn this into an Elias hate thread.....no not on his incredibly generic looking skiing, but on his god awful, try too hard on camera persona.

Every word out of his mouth and I cringe and feel the shame that he doesn't. I'm thinking of that WoW episode where they're hitting some fun lil' "backyard" setup and Elias ends up sledding and says one horribly unfunny forced thing after another. Don't even get me started on his abortion of a videoblog...

Whew. Sometimes hating is such a cathartic practice.

From what I heard, Elias landed 3 triple tonight. PK and Russ both fell hard, Russ couldn't put his triple to his feet.

Dude I thought tripples were pretty sick at first, but now I think they are pretty lame. They just got played in 1 day, sweet tripple 14 with a mute grab, looks almost exactly like a dub 10 just hucked way faster. Should just ban mute grabs in comps.

I love how the "hate on Elias ambuhl thread" is right above this one. Anyway, congrats to Elias! It looks he held either true nose or true tail for almost the entire time. Probably the sickest triple yet.

honestly i'm kinda over the triple hype already.
like someone said they just look like faster dub 10s with an extra cork 3.

meh.

so when are they going to start taking style into account? i mean it took long enough for rails to be judged properly but damn, you'd think they'd figure out style also by now.
