First, I agree that both xavier and sammy are great pipe skiers, OK? Never said they weren't. (PS I don't think Xav's run would have beat Riddle at WSI but that's beside the point). But...Look at the list of names from the Ski tour, and then compare it to the list of competitors at the NZ...

CFSA (the canadian freestyle ski association) has not done one single thing towards trying to get pipe into the 2010 Olympics. Which is a huge shame because they are one of the groups that could have actually had some influence if they had pushed hard for it. They didn't throw in the towel...

"he didnt even think to look above to see if someone else had the right of way" Anyone else see the problem with this statement? Sorry dude, and it sucks you got your pass pulled but you might want to re-read that skiers code next time you're on the crapper. It's the DOWNHILL skier who has the...

I know how good he is, that's not the point. The point is he doesn't have a result yet from an event with the big guns there. Look at the top 3 from NZ Open, notice the lack of big names? Shit, other than Jossi, hardly any of the top pipe skiers were there. I agree that he's sick, but he...

Tell you what, put up sammy and xaviers results over the last season, look at where they came from, then compare them to thomas, felton, and hayward. When you're done, feel free to talk about getting facts straight... NZ Open? European Open from 2 years ago? You really think those events...

Whaaaaa, why don't you cry about it? Ok take candides name out of the post then, you happy now? Still doesn't change the message, but hey, way to distract from the point. If it was really all about comp results, then guys with solid consistent pipe results like felton, hayward, stefan thomas...

Guess you better tell that to Bushfield, Cosco, and all the other guys out there who can kill switch spins with the "blender" or "blindside" takeoff. It's all personal choice, looking over the shoulder that you spin towards is definitely more common, but it doesn't mean that is the only way to...

So what halfpipe comp results does someone like sammy or xavier have that puts them ahead of people with solid halfpipe results like candide, matt hayward, taylor felton, etc.?

Bra Boys is one heavy flick. Those guys are truly hardcore. And hey, props to voleurz for getting in there, that's sick!

To clarify, I really like skiercross OK, I've been doing them for years. It's because I like the sport so much that this current direction it's taking bothers me. What I'm trying to get at is that the courses are getting way too tailored for racers. Instead of racers need ing to learn a...

I have... (he advanced to the final, I didn't.). The guy is fast as hell and obviously an incredibly strong skier. The post was not meant to take away anything from him or any of the racers. I have nothing but respect for him and anyone good enough to make it to a World Cup level in racing...

Exactly, on both sides.

Well let's see, YP who is the events/terrain park manager for Whistler Blackcomb only meets the "chill guy" pre-req on your list, yet WB still manages to have a pretty decent setup. I would say 1 - Understands the wishes of the skiers/boarders2 - Is able to communicate well with both the...

Has anyone noticed the current state of skiercross? Seems that it's now nothing more than a retirement option for World Cup ski racers. The courses all seem to be built specifically for the Daron Rahlves-es of the sport, with zero focus on working transitions, pumping, riding berms etc. Now...

Next thing you know, one of those jerks will post a thread called "why are snowboarders better than skiers". Skiers would never do anything like that........

????? RUSerious???? Half of this site would be throwing a fit, while the other half would be at the hill using splitboards in reverse, and Armada or some other ski company would probably have a contest about poaching the mountain on skis.

Basically everyone this year on Dukes (and Jesters) are the beta testers. They will see what happens this season now that they have a large group of people putting them through all kinds of different scenarios, and they will likely adjust the design accordingly. By next year they should be...

He was also on the BC mogul team.

They'll probably handle it the same as they do at the 10000 other resorts that have things like narrow cat tracks and flat ski-outs.
