So! It turns out that I'll be heading to Sochi for 2014 Olympic Games. My question for you is simple -- what do you want me doing while I'm out there?

An Interview with the top pros, as well as the lesser known ones, about the course, how they have trained for these events, and who they believe their biggest competition is. I think that because it will most likely be one of the lesser followed sports in the olympics as far as interviews and overall coverage goes, I would like to hear the same interviews that are usually designated for athletes of larger sports, such as; Sprinters in the summer, The hockey players, The downhill racers, etc. Just really get a feel for the life they are living while they are there, and really getting into their minds and seeing the course/olympics through their eyes. I also think it would be interesting to here their opinions on the alterations that the olympics have made on our sport, positive as well as negative.

a bit of realism amongst the chaos of suicidal ideas: land a trick holding a massive lama teddybear on your shoulder and a big NS painted on your back and front, in any of the events which is in progress or about to start. With the good spirit that freestyle skiing has, i'm sure some pros would help you get on the course. A video of that would be legendary.

Just bring The Kids and some guys from TSP, 4bi9, and line. Maybe everyone will just get disqualified from the olympics.

Also this - Interview other skiing disciplines, and ask them what they think about skiing slope and halfpipe in the olympics, or freeskiing in general. That would be interesting.

have you been living under a rock? for the most part, the olympic judges will be AFP judges. they will not be the usual FIS mogul/arial judges.

if you don't trust the olympic judges you might as well not trust the results of X-games, Dew Tour, etc...

My vote is for you to try to reenact this video



Also make the Olympic version of the GNAR Pro Callout... "The Olympian Callout" and see whose jimmies get rustled. I bet Bode would lose his shit.

you'll be disapointed since he won't be there... Canada gets 2 spots for slopestyle and they'll likely be taken by Alex Bellemere and Alex Beaulieu-Marchand. just taking info from CFSA's website, b-dog isn't even listed as a team member

Film the practices, they are often times more enjoyable to watch than the main event, and none of it ever makes it to air. It could also present a neat contrast as to how different countries train or practice for the events.
I would say interviews but I doubt translating would be an option, but it would be cool to hear some different perspectives from various country's representatives.

Each country only gets to send two skiers? That's so disappointing.

no each country has an allocation of skiers they can send

I thought it was 4? At least for halfpipe it is, thats fucked when you consider that of the top 50 competitors in the world almost all of them are from like 6 different countries (USA, canada, france, sweden, norway, new zealand)
