Because there's no where to make sandwiches on a jump that big. JKJK. I literally have no idea.

yes there needs to be a street comp for skiers... badly. just watching snowboarders 2 on and thinking a skier could 810 on just makes me mad

but there is no girls big air because of the size of the jump. girls weigh less and therefore do not carry enough speed to get to the sweet spot

I totally agree that there should be a ski street comp. It would be sick. But if you're talking about those HUGE 40 foot disaster 2's on the boarders were throwing... I really don't think any skier would have the balls to try to 810 on, let alone put it to their feet.

Still, get guys like Clayton, Will Wesson, Delorme, or Henrik on that course and watch the fireworks. It would be unreal

More like lj strenio/ will wesson? Street course skiing would almost be war of rails. A) lj strenio wins everytime B) lots of rails. Lol

There's a difference between the 7s most of NS wants to see and the 7s Women's Big Air would provide.

Only if Stept could quickly edit the footage of the hits before they aired.

*And Stept could quickly edit the footage before they aired. THAT would be a show.

Didn't mean to disrespect clayton's badassness, but merely provide a suggestion.

That's not the reason, Henrik weighs less than most of those girls hahaha. I think the experience and depth of field isn't there for the women. They'd have to do the competition on a different jump or lots would withdraw/get injured.

surprisingly not true.

I read his bio, and apparently he weighs 163lbs. that's a pretty hearty build for a guy that's only 5'6"

though i wonder if that's with all the xxxxl clothing he's always wearing....

Yeah good call but I wouldn't say LJ would win every time. Either way with WW, LJ, the Stept crew, B&E, plus other who can throw down it would an absolutely insane contest, that's for damn sure.

I don't think this is true. There was a little japanese 8th grader competing in pipe who couldn't have weighed more than 120 pounds, and he still managed to go huge. Your average female competitor probably weighs more than that kid. I think it's more the fact that female skiing is so far behind men's that is keeping females out of big air

This.

Females do freestyle in the olympics though. Female freeskiing is behind mens but racing isn't, Vonn is a bigger star than any dude.

I think the ladies need to sack up. As someone said earlier womens pipe flat out sucked.

I remember the last major ski big air for women, when the winning trick was a 360, while the wining trick for men was like a switch dub 14 blunt or something

weight is not an issue.

Casabon is 135 pounds, Carlson is 140 pounds, Bellemare is 130 pounds. then compare to girls like Rose Battersby who is 160 pounds, Devin Logan who is 175, Hudak is 145, etc

they should have shown the girls slopestyle contest before the mens.. after seeing the men's i thought i was watching a rerun of the 2000 xgames when the women were on course.

The world isn't ready to watch a woman die on live TV... has a girl even hit a jump that big before? Pretty sure that was bigger than the 9 Queens jump.
