Danny Davis is a stylie mofo, but his run would not have made the podium in 2010 - it was that easy.

what were the snowboard judges thinking last night?

for proof, here' Shaun White's Olympic run from 2010. LOL. 1000% better than what Danny Davis did yesterday.

I disagree. For the longest time, judges placed too much emphasis on degrees of rotation and "difficulty". As riders have progressed to the current plateau of technical ability, we need to get back to rewarding style. Danny's run was effortless, floaty, and not at all easy to do but he made it look easy.

Also why is Shaun white's 2010 run relevant? Competitions don't & shouldn't take into consideration past competitions. Danny won bronze relative to last night's field, not the 2010 olympics haha.

White's run from 9 years ago was that much better than Davis's 2019 run. It shows you that Davis hasn't pushed himself to get any better. In fact, he's probably getting worse.

I don't care how stylish you make it look - that shit is EASY.

Also, Danny's highest air was 15 feet. That isn't even big. Dude needs to go bigger than that. This is 2019 - not 2002.

Mentions height and how "easy" it looks but doesn't mention any of the tricks he actually did. Once again showing your ignorance in snowboarding.

That run was sick. The judges awarded it and didn't only award spin to win for the first time in years.

uh, maybe that's because skiers actually were doing difficult tricks like switch unnatural double-corks. it's easy to go 15 feet out when you're doing a mctwist. that shit is basic.
