Do you guys hear yourselves?
Tom Wallisch didn't qualify. Big fucking deal.
He's still filming a dope segment this year.
Oh and did you notice something while riding tom's dick?
His run was not as good as schlopy's.
He planted his hands into the ground, losing all the clean landing style from before.
You want to know why the judges didn't bump his score up?
Because we aren't snowboarding, a sport where results are run by corporate interests. Sure, we all want Tom to win, but not because he is Tom Wallisch, super cool guy. It's because he has the techiest rail tricks, the cleanest landings, good jump skills, and dopest style ever. Lets say the judges had bumped his score into 85 or so. This puts skiing at X Games/Olympics in a position where it can show off some top athletes, who just happen to be sponsored by Red Bull, Toyota, Target, whatever. They don't even have to have the best run, they just need to be marketable. Oh look! Bobby Brown, sponsored by Red BUll has just won his 6th X Games Gold!!!!!!1!1!!!! He did a double cork 12 with a MUTE WOWWW!!!!
And he slid out! WHAT?
Yeah thats why we don't bump scores in skiing. Because we don't want Shaun White to boot grab to a win, again. There's a reason why Slope is exciting to watch. Lets keep it that way.
Still sad about Tom though, I wish he was in finals.
