do not say anythign bad about candide, ever
he is the perfect rider in every way: he defines progression
pipe: redefined it in 03
park: always has dominated it, anone remember that hip jump he took straight on??? i woudl love for him to have input designing superpark
rails: 810
going big: every thing he has ever done
he pushes the envolope all the time, and frequently too far as evidenced by he frequent injuries, no one else pushed themselves as hard at the x games...
remember when tanner came down after his second run and said he guessed that he'd have to boost a little higher??? he realized his amplitude wasn't enough and so he should've put it all on the line and booosted as high as he could out of the pipe. he already had a lock on second, why not put it all on the line for first?? instead he decided to try to add a little more tech into his already super-tech run.
progression is what its all about, and it just pisses me off that tanner didnt step it up. how sweet could tanner be if he decided to go as high as candide/dumont???
'stepping it up' and doing somethign amazing is what our sport is all about.
to those of you that say tanner got robbed by the dumont...woudl you rather see comps going in the direction of hucked-yet-stylie big spins with small height or huge height with sweet tricks?
i heard a rumor that sprong learned sw 10's AT the open...thats what its all about
sorry for being a rambling bitch..some good points are buried there somewhere
