so who's watching it? I watched ski slopestyle earlier and now i'm watching freestyle snowmobile...now that is on crazy sport

Very nice

 

yeah it was...its very sad. hopefully though all the accidents that have happened will make people realize that they should wear a helmet.

 

freaking dust in my eye

 

Wasn't she wearing a helmet?

I hate it when that happens. Especially at work

 

for Sarah and her family

 

Yeah she was wearing a helmet just read the story again..

 

Shaun White got a perfect 100

F*** the French...

 

Wow...that's stupid I know it's a rule but come on

Foreal that was insane! And the front flip and attempted back flip! It gets better every year!

 

I like how she asked them to measure and they said they didn't have anything to use.


The progression of the X Games is crazy now. I remember when people in the 12' pipe were throwing 720's as the big trick, now they are riding a 22' pipe and throwing 1260's and getting 18' above the pipe.

Who throws the first 1440? Is it even possible?

 

yeah its crazy. In snowboard big air, Mark McMorris hit a triple cork 1440 it was insane and I think someone almost landed like a 1620 or something. I dont remember exactly what happened.

its insane, its not even the fact that they are doing double cork 1260s, its that they have to do at least one to even have a chance at podium.

yep that shit was sick as hell right there

 

That shit was just nuts. One of the best parts for me, was the excitement that the other riders showed when he landed. Everyone was overjoyed that he landed it.

On the flip side, did you see anyone else celebrating with Shawn White after his perfect 100? Only his posse was around him. I think other competetors are getting annoyed with Shawn White's reign

 

Saw the girls and they were hitting the ground like someone dropped a $50

 

Heath Frisby is crazy... i honestly thought it was going to be impossible.

Everyone is definitely getting annoyed with shaun white though...but honestly he is the best as far as superpipe goes IMO and i didnt think anyone had what it took to beat him last night.
