Well shit. He's probably my favorite snowboarder. I always look forward to seeing him throw down in comps.

I'm so pissed... as horrible as it sounds I was hoping he might of thrown a back to back triple, or potentially (don't hate) send it deep for a quad. Thats why I was also pissed when he didn't qualify for big air finals.

its true though. all the skiers are hyped on it whereas all the boarders are having a whinge.

one of the aussie boarder girls was paying it out before she'd even seen it the stupid bitch

Not quite true.....Tora said the course was huge and that she had reservations because the best builders in the world (snow park tech) weren't used for the olympics. She's since seen the course and said the jumps need a little bit of work, but otherwise likes it.

The amount of gapers on newschoolers is very minimal, I doubt he's a gaper....

Dont worry you will get to see that. Max Parrot already did back to back triples at Xgames.

Also billy morgan will probably do it and if they are Mark Mcmorris really has no choice.

Maybe just maybe people won;t go as hard in the comp because of the level of danger so we get this really sick technical competition with no huge flips because of the danger so it's just who can do the most technical stuff rather than most spins. That would be sick, ABM would have a large chance.
