Congratulations on hitting the course dude. You are obviously THE MAN. However, I didnt bring the live feed up on my computer at work to watch you hit the course. I was expecting bigger names to be there and they weren't. That is the definition of a let down. Enjoy your Nascar, buddy.

Sorry the kids that were there and threw down putting their bodies on the line didn't entertain you. It's lame that support for our competitions comes from getting lots of viewers who expect to be well entertained and aren't by things that they will never be able to do themselves or not even simply understand for that matter (clearly).

Where did I say I was not entertained? You didn't understand my post (clearly). You weren't the least bit disappointed Wallisch wasn't there to defend his crown? It was stated that Wallisch, Ahmet, Stepp, and Powis were gonna be there. Why would I not be disappointed that they did not compete? It's lame that you think you are so fucking CORE that you think I dont understand the level of riding simply because I was disappointed people who were supposed to compete, didn't. And to be honest man, you dont know what my level of riding is. So to base your post on the fact that you think I suck is completely stupid. Why don't you stick to the things you do know, like sucking dicks.

you have to realize this is an internet forum where tone and other inferences can be easily misconstrued, just like trying to argue humanely through text messages. lol

pick your words wisely, because it definitely sounded like hate coming from your end with your original post so understand when people question it.

You have to realize what I said is what I meant. I said it was a letdown, it was. Stop with calling every critical thing said "hate". It is the most over-used word. Giving an opinion of something is not hating on something. "He's a hater, Shes a hater"...no actually they just have a view different than yours . 90% of the time it is not hating. This is me choosing my words wisely: Go fuck yourself .nyles, I dont need your internet lessons.

Am I disappointed that WOR advertised a roster of "confirmed" athletes and a handful of probably the heaviest hitters were not there..?
Yes.

Was I pleased with what I saw from who actually showed up or who they actually DID confirm..?
Very much so!

Do I think LJ is a good skier,
Yes.

Was I impressed with watching LJ just misty flip off everything and pull off a double flip..?
No. This was a rail jam not a big air contest. (see comment above before talking shit please)

Would I have hucked mistys and ugly double flips for 30k?
Probably.

Can I do misty flips off rails and double flips?
No.

Am I proud of what I saw a WOR from LJ?
No.

Do I know why all the bigger names did not show up?
No.

Am I going to talk shit about Coker, Bear, the athletes that did not show/may or may not have actually been "confirmed".
No. (I have no idea why so many of them were not there)

I believe Tom's knee is still bothering him a bit, plus as was said earlier he's about to go to Norway along with Leigh so they're probably getting ready for that.

Ahmet never competes. He was there, but to watch Giray.

Steve broke his ribs 4 weeks ago and didn't want to push it.

If certain people didn't want to go, then they didn't. Whatever, it's not like that's any different from any other comp.

Did you happen to see the layout of the WOR course? With huge elevated rails and endless transitions, you're upset with seeing flips and doubles from the winner? What exactly did you expect?

I expect if that is your mentality, Andy parry should win the next X-games big air for jibbing some scaffolding.

I may be crazy, but I think any comp should be won by the person who applies the most skill and creativity to the features with which they are confronted.

For creativity, Max was a MILE ahead of anyone else out there. Even from the first practice, he was buttering the kicker for the gap to down and then throwing a two on in the opposite direction before his edges ever even set off the butter. It was fucking spectacular to watch...and he continued to be creative throughout.

Dale threw down some insane lines on the bigger features.

Pat was FUCKING RIPPING the entire weekend. He was hitting almost everything faster and going bigger than just about anyone out there. He was getting two or three drops to everyone else's one. He was the first one to sw spin onto most of the jibs (which is GNARLY on that course because of the lack of setup time between hits and the variable snow) and he was just smiling and having a fucking blast all weekend, which is cool IMO.

What was impressive about LJ was not just that he flipped. Yes LJ can flip, and double flip, and so can most of the other guys out there. There is a damn good reason he was the only one who dubbed that transfer and the only one who threw a misty off the u-tube. IT WAS FUCKING HARD. That's why all those other guys, who are perfectly capable of throwing those tricks elsewhere, were not throwing them last weekend. Go back and watch his misty out on that tube...watch how little setup time he had going into the feature. Watch how little time he had to load up and pop off of it. Watch how much deeper he had to take the landing compared to just about everyone else who hit it. And then realize that he did it in the mid afternoon on a 65 degree sunny day in southern California slush.

At the end of the day, I can throw inverts just fine, but I would not have sacked up in a million years to throw any on that course in those conditions. So the point of this fucking rant is that LJ was well rewarded for having some massive fucking balls and a skill set that nobody else brought out that day. It's not like he was just the one sellout who decided he was going to flip to win the comp. In my opinion, Max, Pat or LJ could have been scored highest depending on what the judges were looking for.

And in defense of your statement...it would be fucking awesome if someone jibed the scaffolding at X-Games big air. I might actually watch it!

Ummmm, wtf are you talking about?

It is different from every other comp because they are not on the confirmed athlete list of every other comp.

I don't give a shit why they weren't there. I just though they were going to be and they weren't. If they didn't want to compete or couldnt, thats fine by me. I was just stating that I was misled and let down.

Im pretty sure I've seen Ahmet compete before in person multiple times soooooo, youre dumb. also he was on the confirmed invite list.

I dont know why im even responding to you since you are a girl and your point was invalid as soon as you started typing.

Now that we have established that lack of a penis makes all points made by the person in question invalid...we can continue this conversation about your feelings and disappointments. Do you feel this lack of fulfillment in other parts of your life? Have you recently woken up calling for Walnuts in the middle of the night and suffered the disappointment of him not showing up in your bedroom?

These are issues we need to work through. Let's try some breathing exercises...

good one dude... Because I wanted to see the best park skier defend his title makes me obsessed with him? I dont get what is so hard to understand as to why i would be let down when a # of top guys were supposed to compete and then didn't. I never talked shit about the people who did compete, how the course was set up or what tricks were thrown. You're trying to hard to make a joke. Had you heard of wutang before bdog started using them in his edits? Im guessing not. Nice try though, poser.

Lol...no. I was taking a shot at you because you took a shot at shorty for being female. This fact, combined with the fact that you chose to reference Wu-Tang in the context of ski edits, tells me you are no older than 12, and I probably shouldn't continue this conversation for fear that your parents might write me a strongly worded letter about online bullying.

Wow. I referenced wutang in ski edits because your name is wootang and your picture is of ODB and this is for YOUR name on a SKI forum. You clearly want people to know you listen to wutang because everyone on this site loves wutang, you heard of them in a bdog edit, and you desperately want people on this site to think you're cool. Take a look at my join date. I was 12 when wu-tang forever came out, you idiot.

What anger? Im sorry for calling you out and exposing you but you mess with the bull and you get the horns. Good luck on being a poser and calling girls shorty. Let people like you for who you are, man. Not because of the music you pretend to like or the way you try and talk like a black person. I understand the need to want to make up for your lack of skiing skills and small penis, but eventually the pants come off and they find out anyway.

1. ahmet hasn't competed in multiple years, just because you've seen him compete before doesn't mean he still does and that chick is roommates with him so she would know. Don't you feel like a retard.

2. Are you daft? When she said it's no different than any other comp she was referring to the fact people sign up and don't show, cry me a fucking river you little pussy. And the fact that I have to explain that to you is a testament to the pathetic level of intelligence on NS. I can see why you feel like a retard now as you are retarded.

3. I don't know why I'm even responding to you since you are a retard and your point was invalid as soon as you started typing.

Here's a quick Fact about invited athletes that were confirmed and didn't show. Some were injured, some cancelled the day prior and some just didn't show. Sorry to get all your panties in a twist but that's how the cookie crumbles.

Either way thanks for watching my event. I'll keep on my same path because that's what I believe ski competitions need.

It's a super sick comp man, there'll always be someone that complains and unfortunately their voice is often heard above those who watched the event and just thought it was great.

1) My point was that the confirmed athlete list isn't a binding contract. WoR isn't exactly holding a gun to anyone's head demanding they show up just because they originally said they would. Shit came up and they didn't go. Sorry you felt mislead and disappointed but get over it. That is what I meant happens at every comp, people who originally planned on going sometimes don't show up.

2) I live with Ahmet. I assure you I do in fact know what he's been up to better than you. He's not into competing.

3) You said you didn't know why those people weren't there, so I thought I would tell you. Now you know.

4) Yes, I am a girl, not that that has anything to do with anything. But go ahead and call me a dumb girl if it makes you feel better about yourself.

Pretty sure I would not have tried a misty off that thing for $50k! The speed was not so easy. Good shit man...and the way you were skiing I'm not sure it would have mattered who the fuck showed up. Killin' it!

Ahmet wanted to come ski a fun course, ended up the features were gnarlier than expected and not "fun" or worth the risk in his eyes. He isn't very into competing, he hasn't since like we were in high school. Why risk at a comp when u aren't feeling the course and would rather film? Comps lead to people pushing it when it's windy or icy and getting hurt.

1.) What the fuck do you know, gaper?

2.) I was 14 when Forever came out

3.) invited athletes were all pussies and pussed out, and the ones who hit the features should've just pussed out because they were on some '06 pb&j bullshit.

4.) using numbered lists makes every argument bullet proof and is inherently condescending and leads to winning internet fights.

Word man!

War of Rails turned out being like King of Style. War of dubs :(
this is not Carigs fault doe. Hes the man, and this is by far the sickest comp there. Skiing needs mor of this stuff. (Xgames ski street?????)

I dont know if "better" riders would do it better doe.

maybe skiing isent ready for this cours jet. (dont get me wrong, its sick that is there and its a good way to head and a fast way to go there.)

But if your guys want to se throw down business you have to build a smaler stuff. keep the same space between the features, just them and the gaps smaller. would be sick to have a little bit lower wallride that are much longer, whit a pole jam that are pretty straight to it and step up. and really eazy to get on top of it. and the box on the top of the wall should be flat and wider. not straight wall on the other side too.

It wouldnt be much smaler but much but it would feel much mor safe.

thanks to the dudes that liked my stuff, apprecierat it a lot :)
