Did ESPN drop the ball this year?

[Valind]

I was looking at what I taped last X-Games. It seems like they showed more skiers and there runs. Here like many people have said already, they only showed the big names like Dumont and Tanner. To me it seems like it was ESPN that we should be looking at, now the skiers and we ned to stop hating on them. I think that if they are going to make an event and air it, they need to show the whole event. When baseball of football is on, they dont just show the best breaking runs or the best touchdown throws. I dunno, I just think that ESPN dropped the ball this X-Games.

word.

 

[DaLiNeRiDEr21]

i have to agree with you on this once it the same this with the summer xgames

 

[saucer_boy_lives]

they've been doing it like that for a bit now. one of us watching though did notice they cut down a lot on runs.

 

[80*s4eva]

yeah- they didn't drop the ball. the ball has been dropped since the beginning. That shit pisses me off but what can you do...its all about he numbers.

 

[Pklink04]

so true man

 

[J.W.]

They played every bit of that snowmobile shit and then skipped out on alot of the superpipe runs, not fair A and B just plain stupid. I bet more people come and watch the pipe than the speed and style crap. Anyways, the snowmobilers all do that same backflip and its really repetitive to watch.

 

[80*s4eva]

Dude- that speed and style shit was so gay. seriously who wants to watch that for more than 45 seconds? Oooh wow bacflip yay..

 

[Frik]

Yeah the snowmobile bacflip is so played out. Sure it was cool in the beginning...but now that have a jump in the race that they expect these guys to throw the backflip and maybe something cool with it. Deff over-rated.

 

[jimmychung]

so true, the entire 'speed and style' homofest was aired, but only 4 or 5 skiers. it felt like 1 hr 45 min of snowmobile and 15 minutes of skiing.

 

[dangerdad]

i would agree with this

 

[chrismoJBEATS]

yeh i feel ya.

and you know what is bullshit too, on sportcenter this morning, they didnt even mention anything about the X gaymes

 

[VT_scratch]

you can watch it in person if u really want to do somethign!

so what time is big air tonight for us east?

 

[80*s4eva]

wtf are you talking about? I live in ohio...if I wanted to take a trip out west I wouldn't go on a crowded weekend and spend my time watching someone else ski. I was just saying that until more people are interested in skiing there's prob not going to be better coverage. Thanks for being a dick though.

 

[skiblandford]

yeah

 

[notomatoplz]

yea thats all that maters to them

 

[Static]

ESPN really sucked it up this year. I mean they didn't even show the winning runr replay at the end. But whatever, the only people who care are the people makin' money.

 

[Machete23]

Why the hell do they host the event if they aren't going to show it?

What the fuck?
