http://www.usatoday.com/sports/action/2010-11-17-bnqt-slopestyle-olympics_N.htm Found this to be quite interesting.... the man known for his anti-Olympic boycott back in the day is now extending a personal invitation to the IOC president to give him a better view of snowboard slopestyle as part...

Anyone watching this? How can you make it to the Olympics in Ski Cross and have absolutely no clue as to how to work transitions? Sure, some of them have it figured out but at least half of them look like they have never popped or pumped in their life (or worked a berm for that matter). At least...

Chris Turpin, Momentum camp stepover, triple flatspin (kangaroo style). Not quite stomped, but he got it around. Don't know if there is video of it or not.

Looks like a big pipe, think they just started early rounds, not sure when finals is http://www.ustream.tv/channel/canadian-national-half-pipe-competition

Pretty sick course, reminds me of Helltrack from RAD.

Just for pure nostalgia, here's the clip of the first ever skier big air X-Games gold medal jump, JF Cusson. http://espn.go.com/media/xgames/2000/0119/video/0119jfc.avi Sorry, still don't know how to embed, or even make it a link, but I'm sure there's somebody smart on here that will take care...

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...

Yep, looks pretty good too....

In the interest of keeping the million RCR discussions a little more informed. I just wanted to address the (very common) misconception that "skyrocketing insurance premiums" had something to do with it. I just did a little more research, and confirmed RCR does NOT have insurance for terrain...

This is quite interesting.... the Stockholm King of Style comp was a sanctioned FIS World Cup event.... for the snowboarders.  Check out fis-ski.com and they have a press release about it under "latest FIS news".   So basically what the snowboard side of FIS is doing, is sanctioning existing...

Why did they delete the thread about the terrain park lawsuit? It was probably one of the most relevant issues directly affecting the NS crowd, and also one of the few threads that included some intelligent discourse on a VERY important, skiing subject. Or is this forum only meant for debating...

This started within another thread, but I thought it would make a good discussion on it's own. I found the opinions on it to be interesting. Ok, in snowboarding pipe, there is a requirement that riders perform at least one "standard maneuver" in their run. Standard maneuver is 180 or less...

Gotta say, that was a pretty impressive show some of the snowboard girls put down in the pipe. Lots of girls doing inverts, 9's, switch 7's, all well above the lip, and some of them boosting pretty damn high. Can't wait till we have a field of ski girls that strong, I'm sure they'll catch up...

I'm usually stoked to watch the skiers kill the boarders in pipe, but.... WOW!! I can't believe Andy didn't win the snowboard pipe at X. What a sweet first hit. His run was one of the best runs I've ever seen in a pipe by boarders or skiers. Props to him for throwing down. Even though...

Does anyone know where (and when) someone could find a comprehensive results list from the US Open. One that gives a result for all the athletes, not just the finalists? Thanks

Kinda double posting this but.... The Blackcomb glacier in Whistler has been getting pounded by snow for almost a week now. The snow/rain margin is hovering around the midpoint of 7th heaven chair. So... while it sure does suck for most of the mountain, things are looking good for the glacier...

How do you get a photo down to under 5oK without it being so small you lose all quality? I have photoshop and save as a JPEG but to get it under 50K I have to make it about an inch tall.
