Like I said, don't care if people downvote me for this, and since i've been seeing a ton of negative x games threads, thought i'd start a positive one. X games is still the freestyle skiing super bowl, regardless of how you look at it, has changed skiing in my opinion for the better. Sure andri kinda looked like he needs to switch to aerials, and ABM and henrik both got shafted, but the thing is, its the one time every year when people actually pay attention to skiing. how many people have been brought into skiing thru watching x games? I don't know, but it's gotta be a lot. How much money has x games given to skiing? i don't know, but it's gotta be a lot. What i'm trying to say is while x games might fuck it up occasionally, its still awesome.

Show X-games some love. Supporting skiers and skiing is so dope. X is the big goal for a lot of skiers young and old. Let's keep it alive and show them support when we can.

Highway robbery happens every year and no one cares to remember.
It's fun to watch even for the haters.

Was an incredible display of talent this year and looking forward to what next year has in store.

Getting an invite based on your sponsorship is wack but other than that it's all good.

Someone always gets screwed in every comp be it dew tour, R2R, the olympics, people even get pissy over calls in slvsh games. I actually think the comp scene has gotten better over the last few years in terms of the variety of tricks and different rail lines being used. People forget when they used to give options but maybe only one guy would hit a different line compared to everyone else. Oh and they are currently not a fis event

Did henrik really get robbed though? Idk. I think he was worrying too much about getting that told medal to beat tanner cmand got caught up. Whatever he got his knucklehuck gold.

But yeah, i enjoyed watching xgames. I guess a bunch of the full events just got pulled down which sucks because I was gonna watch ski superpipe after work but I can't find it now.

What's funny is 19 of 20 threads I bumped were after the official discussion thread. One was bumped by accident. So you're not really following with the logic here. Anyway continue with your tantrum. Your mom and I gonna be out late tonight so just remember to brush your teeth after your bedtime snack.

The thing people gotta realize is they aren’t even trying to be core they are doing the opposite. They are putting on an event as ESPN would cover the Super Bowl or whatever. Sponsorship hype, media, storylines, big money, a bit of over emphasis on judges technicality, lots of comp drama like it is what it is. Lots of people think it’s wack and it kind of is but we can still enjoy it.
