It's not just that they suck!
It's that they cut to them to ask about "who is gonna win?", Like we want to watch skiing.
And when the skiing starts, they put those clowns on half the screen and block the commentary.
eheaththey got sal and one of the espn hosts with him for the broadcast, most ppl are referring to the free stream on youtube and twitch
his real name is selema which is what he prefers, only whitewashed to sal in the past because the racism of corporate broadcasting required him to do so
Holy fuck that was so whack. The angle they showed had 0 people in it and it looked like she wasn’t even actively mixing (it was premixed). They should have just ended the stream lol, that was in the background of the homies house for too long.

he will always be sal to me, i grew up on that shit
You’d think that that If they were gonna offer people who didn’t know the first thing about skiing or riding they would have at least found some ppl that even one single viewer might have given a fuck about

jack is pretty big in the snowboarding community, which is larger than skiing...
the girl was a twitch DJ im sure she's not some random 5 viewer streamer.
I think y'all should be happy we can stream the xgames free in any country, but I guess you gotta complain about something? kinda cringe tbh
tutipupsfeel like here in canada ive been able since at least 2019
well, in the USA xgames has been heavily restricted, i forgot you live in canada.
my point still stands, stop complaining just to complain. Stop watching the stream in-between events, mute while they're on, play your own music in the background, etc there are so many things you can do to solve the issue.

i dont listen to them when theyre on but just hate how they put their mics on instead of tom wallisch
eheathtom is doing the more important job, commentating the broadcast, how do you not understand that?
yeah and its annoying the youtube broadcast makes us listen to the hosts sometimes for no reason when they have perfectly good tom wallisch commentating
tutipupsyeah and its annoying the youtube broadcast makes us listen to the hosts sometimes for no reason when they have perfectly good tom wallisch commentating
i dont even know what to say anymore, you're so ignorant i dont even care, keep complaining it'll get you really far in life.
I create Mona Lisa's, Im an artist. I can do a nose butter, and if i could do it everytime, i would put it to a noseblunt... you can only switchup, and thats like calling a mud puddle art.
The sport you created, is trained skiing and nothing close to art.
You prove to be the most glamourous , more than heath.
that was just knuckle huck? i do remember now they did a couple of youtube streams, so I wasn't 100% correct, but they are streaming at the same time as being on ABC and ESPN and thats not how it used to be, they only streamed events that werent live in TV.
my point is that they completely changed how they distributed their content and its awesome, but yet someone still finds something to complain about.

I watched every xgames event on youtube while I was working for the last 2-3 years and if you wanna fight about it come down to ramona lol
Professor-ModeloWhat’s naive about thinking they should have either chosen hosts who knew about the sport(s), or hosts who added some sort of value on their own?
The jam format is terrible for events that aren’t knuckle huck and indicative of the XGames dying off as a cultural event to the general public. It’s presented as a stunt show now rather than an athletic competition with athlete profiles and studio hosts who are knowledgeable about the event.
That’s what’s been lost without the journalists and production team from ESPN. Yes it’s being aired on the networ but there’s nobody covering it for ESPN and it shows in everything from how inconsistent the replays were to how the broadcast team were reading verbatim off xgames.com, the line about Matej focusing on school came right from his profile, rather than working from notes which is the norm in broadcasting for the play-by-play guy (formerly in the industry, PA for NHL and NCAA coverage. My job was making those cheat sheets and I would have been canned for copy and pasting a whole passage from the visiting team’s media guide).
Props to the skiers, they all showed out and nobody is complaining about the actual competitions. It’s just that the production around them treated one of the best nights for the sport like it was a Division 2 college football game airing at 2am on ESPN3
