the one event i look forward to each year is superpipe at X. for the past 2 years i was proud to be a skier but this year....whoa. snowboarding kicked our ass. back to back tens. just in every aspect. almost every skier fell in one if not all 3 of thier runs even in prelims. given the pipe was bad but the snoboarders delt with it and i only saw one fall last night. im just dissapointed. we have a long way to go. this whole x games sucked. except for ski slope and board pipe.

the reason why all the skiers fell was cause the pipe was in shitty shape too

prolly cause of super icy conditions in the pipe

how much do you think that Aspen caused this. I mean the Snowboarders are mostly older, or european and more used to intense partying. The skiers are also younger (not as good of drinkers) and went last therefore had a whole extra night of boozing

yeah pipe skiing had it rough they didnt even cut the pipe so it was rutted and icy but still everyone fell. whats worse then their performance was their attitudes. seriously what losers. simon screaming, yeah aspen!! all his friends lifting him up while the crowd was completly silent. then the cameraman interviewing tanner after... he was soo salty about he was trying to act like it didnt bother him but he looked like he was gonna cry. and after tanners okay run he skates up the hill and throws his poles down. wtf is this show some fucking humility. snowboarders were throwin it down. we have a ways to go in the pipe.

sometimes I can, like, read peoples minds... its like I have Espn or something...

yeah dumont threw a sketchy cork 5 and like 20 feet, and then a hucked 5 on the next hit.

antti autti threw a switch 10 on his first hit like 14 feet out, then a backside 10 14 feet out the 2nd hit, and continued to throw 2 more 9s. both him and Andy Finch would have gone at least 3-4 feet bigger if it wasn't snowing last night! that would have made the pipe so slow.

i agree, we skiers got owned in pipe.

someone up there said the last two years were a big letdown for skiing. this year, yes. but not last year, we stepped it up huge last year, alot of rookies showed up and simon proved to everyone how big skiers can go. i think what let us down most this year was not having candide or chrichton. the 2 best pipe skiers in my opinion

if TJ hadn't fallen, his run would have been tops
his third run was huge... until the fall

I think if the actual BEST pipe skiers were there, it'd be a lot more of a show. The big names are just that, big names. The best pipe skiers weren't there.

Vanular, Chricthon, Soldberg, and Candide were missing due to injury or falls. Those are 4 of the BEST pipe skiers no questions asked.

I always argue against my snowboarder friends that skiers can do better and more stylish tricks in the pipe but this xgames sure proved me wrong

not to mention that so many guys in snowboarding threw down solid runs as compared to a few in skiing. the pipe was not any worse either, it was nighttime for both

we didn't have belenger either, not that he's the best pipe skiers out there, but he's good. I'm very disappointed.
I don't deny there are bad things in the US right now, hell, 51% of the country to be exact. But god damnit, our country being fat is NOT a problem. I do't give a shit how fat people are. hell, fat kids are harder to kidnap, that means our country is safer.

I was a bit dissappointed this yar too. the last two years were great. This year everybody was falling and not going that big. The boarders stole the show this year for sure.

not having candide is what ruined the whole thing. he woulda dropped in for his first run, gotten a taste of what he had missed last year and just absolutley tore it up, probably doing something we've never seen before. and that woulda gotten everyone else pumped.

I think Xgames was super gay this year. They shouldnt even have skiercross, snowboard cross, motocross they are stupid. THey should have freestyle snomobiling and skier/snowboard big air and a rail jam. Big dissappointment.

I can understand how tanner felt. Training for so long for something and loosing it does not feel good at all. On top of that right when you find out you loose some bitch shoves a mic and camera on you... I would not have been happy.

i think the snowboarders pipe was better cause they would cut it freshly and the skiers never got to ride a fresh cut pipe for the finals only in prelims

I must say, after watching jon's run from slopestyle yesterday, he should without a doubt have gotten gold. his run was far beyond either of the ones that beat him. he threw smooth tech shit both ways and landed everything clean.
