DrZoidbergI'm not even watching cause i'm at work but I'm going to assume Woodsy is getting underscored.
Minggjust saw on the televisions that the jumps are 60, 65 and 70 feet. I have no idea how west actually pulled off a 67 foot jump... thats fucking massive.
theabortionatorBigger isnt always better. Also the jumps are built much better.
Still havent seen a confirmed measure or anyone i trust on west. That said either way they're kind of retarded for building it. Build a jump that noone hits so the can claim it and film a double. Lollerskates
wameronWhat is west?
FUUUCKyup haha

gapersarefriendsWhy is devin logan in the womens comp
Breaking_RadIt will be interesting to see if Kelly is hiding anything (ie. double)
The.FishI don't understand how a dub 10 gets a 47 but a 10 with a mute gets a 42.

MinggPretty surprised she didn't throw anything but switch 10s... given they were both ways but still kind of expected something else from her. Oh well.
Breaking_RadI don't think Kelly has anything more - yet. Not that she's not capable of more. Good to see some of these girls pushing it.
But Devin Logan? Sheesh, the US team is not looking proper.

Pretty damn stoked on Kaya and Lisa's dubs. Was really surprised at Guilia's sw 12, I've never heard of her so that was a nice surprise haha.
Breaking_RadWell it was clean as hell, but yeah I think Kelly has hit the end of her bag of tricks. Either that or she was just playing it super-safe to make sure she was in SS tomorrow.
Nice to see Kaya and Lisa pushing it. Wish Kaya had something else to add to that 47 because she deserved the bronze just for throwing it.

The.FishIt may have been clean but those were the first dubs from women in competition... a dub 10 is twice as hard as a normal 10, the landings weren't even that bad either.

DrZoidbergHa so what'd they do, break half the lights on the pipe?
Swandog7I mean looking back last night at snowboard comp quads weren't getting a ton higher than triples so... Judging has been back this whole games
The.Fishwell the quads look so rushed and had hand drag landings if I recall correctly. I still don't get how a quad underflip scores higher than a quad cork. The quad cork actually spins and flips versus just flipping in the underflip.

MinggI'm assuming you meant to say wack. If not then this post is irrelevant.
So I'll be honest, I have no clue how skiing is judged and how tricks are scored. I only know how it's done in gymnastics(super lame, ik). However, there is a ton of consistency in gymnastics and very little variables which makes judging extremely objective relatively speaking. In skiing there are endless trick to feature variations which I would assume makes judging skiing difficult.
It seems like in skiing judging is based off competition as a whole instead of the individual runs themselves. For instance, a 90 in women's slope is different than a 90 in mens slope. And a 90 at one comp is different from a 90 at a different comp. There's so much variability and I can only assume that makes it hard as fuck to give consistent scores?
Orrrrr I could be totally wrong and someone please enlighten me.
