i was bored so i checked out the 2001 winter X big air videos on EXPN... holy shit! CR does a sketchy 9, boyd a d-spin 7, and thall does a 'corkscrew' 7. its crazy that the sport has changed so much since then. And its also funny watching them cuz like everybody who went down had 1080's on. go check it out for a good laugh, if ur as bored as i am that is.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! screw that^ stuff i posted before. Go watch the 1999 big air. Cusson does a switch 7 and they all freaked out that he actually took off backwards. The announcer said ' oh my god, i think i have to go sit down for a minute' after he landed it. then jf said 'that was some pure hucking there' it was a 7, pros can do those in their sleep now... man how times change.

speaking of announcers

they suck serious bunghole and floss their teeth with dingles

last years x-games announcer actually said someone (i think t-hall of the dumont) was 'congradulated by his brethren' at the bottom of a run

To be an announcer you pretty much have to be good at constantly talking and bullshitting as much as possible without getting called out on it. Especially when it's live.





I dont know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

They said Pep had the run of his life last year in slopestyle for xgames. His best trick was like a cork 7. Those guys don't know what their talking about.

Yeah, after your clothes are waterproof and breathable the next thing you can do is put more pockets, put 999 zippers, and more logos. But skis, WOW CARBON OLLIE BAND! Do you realize how advanced Line's are!? If you put like, three of those in ONE pair of skis you'd have three times the ollie power!

in the X trailer, there is this old vid of a 360 at the end. 20 people sit around there and freak out completely while seeing a 360 safety...
I can do 360s, and i am not good. Maybe getting better. If i would be a newschooler at this time throwing a 360 i would be kind of a god. Now i am one of the worst riders in the world...

No, i know people that are worse.
