Anyone who thinks dollo's run wasn't the best is retarded. Yea he kept it mellow on the last two rail features. We all know rails don't count as much as the jumps even if they claim it's equal. He busted out a new trick that nobody else has ever done. That's gonna get you some extra points especially at xgames. And if you think Andreas had the best run just realize he was biting the nose but dub that dollo invented and his best rail shit was biting cvans. Innovators win gold. Biters might make the podium if they're lucky

Woods' double wallride thing was cute, but it was easy as shit. Seriously, I could have done that, and I'm terrible. He needs to do more difficult tricks if he wants high scores.

On a side note, it's going to feel real weird rooting against Woods and Harlaut during the Olympics.

But if that one feature pushed his score down so much, how could Henrik, who did a sw 2 to front and a 270 disaster, still get the best score? Should he not be equally dragged down for not having the hardest possible railtricks?

He didn't do it on his second run. I thought he could easily get 4th place with that run. Imo judging was quite good but this was just a bad decision

Too bad Torin's out tonight, but happy Riddle is in.

Head judge Mike Atkinson, more than a couple years ago.

Click for larger image

The judges are fully competent, it's just a really tough job to do. I gave judging a shot on my own for the prelims and posted my results, you could probably pick mine apart like crazy.

Perhaps a judging scheme that judged runs all at the same time after they were all skied would be more just and get rid of some errors, but that would be quite anticlimactic.

I think this is spot on. His run was killer but 95 seems too much. Maybe more like 90

He deserved more points. Wallride thing could have been better, but, still, he deserved more points, on that second run especially.

Lol don't you know Torin literally gives no fucks, why would he care enough to compete?


And if the real world is being married with a kid at 23 I'll stay under my rock thanks.

I'm pretty sure I heard the announcer say both the lip and the landing were 1 degree taller/steeper this year.

looks like the in runs shorter, the past 3 years everyone would shave the first 20-30 feet of drop in. now they go straight from the top and go just as big. jump isn't any bigger either

LIVE NOW: SNOWBOARD BIG AIR FINAL FOLLOWED BY MEN SKI SUPERPIPE FINAL

So I guess this means that we'll see all the snowboard runs and then all the pipe runs. Never fear, X-games won't let us miss a final
