A snowmobile weighs 450 pounds
It is still possible to get 100 even if you drag your hand on the ground
andreas hatveit has a snowpark in his backyard
tight pants reduce air drag by 20%

That NS members are the biggest hypocrites I've ever seen. A skier can get a perfect score, and he's the new hero, but if a snowboarder does it, it's because the X-Games are rigged.

The arguement for this has already been had in the x games thread. Bobby threw brand new tricks in big air that had never been done in competition before and stomped the shit out of them, pretty much trick-wise everything was perfect whereas shauns run in the pipe which has a lot more to go wrong with and did , see handrag, and it may have included a trick not done before in competition but his run as a whole was not as perfect as bobbys hits -> justifying my own hipocracy and some others. Also x games judges an announces are always on his d. Hes their money raking show pony, it would just be a crime for him not to come first in their eyes.

Nick Goepper is the Tim Tebow of skiing.
ESPN Medical Staff is fast as hell.
Wearing something in memory of the most influential Female Skier makes you go faster and become disqualified.
French are dicks.
Teenagers were across the podiums.
Dub backs on 450lb snowmobiles should be taken with more than the average 33-35mph range which instead is precisely 38mph with loads of pop off the lip and a wide open throttle.

honestly I feel as thought progression will slow down here soon enough, the runs will be different and slightly more technical (slopestyle is now dub to dub to dub) and maybe like 450 on rails as opposed to 270s, but lets be honest the big air in 2010 was better than this year, so was last years dub 14s and 16s and this year mainly 12s and 14s? I mean unless they start doing 150ft jumps then shit will get crazy, but at this point I feel that progression will slow. Not stop, slow.

Where is the hypocrisy? Or are you predicting hypocrisy because that does not count. I'm almost certain like the only perfect score I can remember was Bobby's in big air 2 years ago and he did two new tricks.
