it is possible to get a 31 in big air for not spinning.
it is possible to be on the big air run in and not know it.
you will lose points if you do not send the big jump to flat.
snowboard slopestyle is judged on whether you can make it to the bottom of the run or not.
reggie bush would rather be tackled than take a stack in slopestyle.
throwing tricks people have never seen =/= points.
french womens ski x team are shitcunts

double post but,
hairbands around your cuffs and a cloth band on your thigh gives 14 seconds worth of aerodynamic advantage.

that double flip is two flips in combined into one trick. the riders head goes under twice thus double flip.

Never watching them again. Shit's embarrassing to say that you are watching and makes skiing and snowboarding look pathetic.

A 76 can beat an 80 if you threw a triple
Doing a trick no one else can do =/= winning
you can have 3 hits in the pipe where you spin less than 360 and still get a 94
If your name has a lot of B's in it, you can basically do 180s and still win
Tight pants is the secret to shawn whites success
Any trick where you go upside down twice is a double cork. no exceptions.
A dub 12 is a "stock manuever"

snowboarding slopestyle is shit compared to skiing slopestyle
snowboarding pipe is shit compared to skiing pipe
snowboarding big air is shit compared to skiing big air
snowboarding looks like shit compared skiing
If your Shaun white you can drag your hand an get 100, if your any skiier you get 60-70
Someone that works at x-games sucks off the flying tomato
Snowmobiles suck to watch
the announcers dont know how to call tricks
monoskiiers are fucking insane
im going to hell for waiting for and laughing when the monoskiers crash
snowboard cross/skier cross is awesome to watch.....when someone crashes
X-Games is not DVR friendly

man you are a bitch.

And yes, xgames blew big time this year. That was NOT the skiing to put on a national stage, nor was the douchebaggery that ensued during literally every single event.

I think I learned more about people on NS this year than about X Games. The X Games haven't changed. I don't know why everyone is so surprised with the things that happen.

that 90% of newschoolers thinks that snowboarders need a straight air in their run in all comps, even though its only in certain comps such as FIS regulated comps and doesnt pertain to X Games

Am I the only one that feels like no one, besides old people, watches the X Games? It's during the school year from Thursday to Sunday, so who the fuck turns on the TV to watch it. Only event I watched was ski slope. It seems like the ideal broadcast audience for free skiing doesn't even watch the X Games.
