I actually think this is going to be a problem. Presumably the winner will future spin so hard that they will teleport into the the year 3,240

How is someone supposed to get a medal if they are eons in the future?

Didn't they raise the limits though so skiers can still be stoned and get away with it?

Dude that would mean that they judge by Royalty standards.... which would make the tricks sick.

The problem is them judging with classic freestyle judging:

1) Amplitude
2) Degree of Difficulty
3) Form

Its the nuances that are the key to making shit legit. You must understdand the difference from the most technically difficult and tightly held trick you've ever seen, and a trick that moved your soul.

Judging is a complicated thing. Right now, technical prowess where you 'hold your grab' (whatever the fuck that means these days) is going to win. Go style in these Olympics and you're fucking DOA.

Lots of countries will have a good shot at it, just like the X games, except expect to see quite a few more countries and maybe some random people here and there.
