I Was Genuinely Pissed When...

[Subjekt]

...the X announcers blatantly said that jon olsson gets points deducted for making it look easy. what the fuck is that. fuck the x games.

 

[Schoellkopf]

it's fucking retarded

 

[Snowcase]

yea man "backwards 900 degree rotation" it was a 1080 and it'd be a switch 10 WTF is up with these guys

 

[Grimace.]

did they seriously take away points for him making it look easy?

 

[Subjekt]

who let you post on my thread. get out of here.

 

[Snowcase]

ummm no?

 

[Subjekt]

fine. you win. as usual.

 

[Snowcase]

of course I do

 

[DRPSET]

That is acually sometimes a problem for Jon, because alot of the points are based on amplitude+difficulty=Gnarly, and Jon Dosn't portray Gnarly very often because he is a robot

 

[bigsoxfan]

yup and theyve been doin it for years, "he makes it look too easy" its called stompin the shit out of it u idiots

 

[Intergalactic]

....and in snowboarding they said one kids run would score lower cuz it was earlier and the judges had to get warmed up.

 

[JazzyJ]

yea i think it was mason aguirre's

 

[patrickcowan]

FUCK COMPETING

 

[KillerMonkey]

i thought it was funny how jon was like sooo laxed through out his run. He was like just goin throught the pipe and didnt even look like he popped.

 

[redpointist]

ya, he just doesnt go so big, and doesnt look like hes trying to, but otherwise he's solid

 

[Pklink04]

this just proves that style doesnt mean shit there

 

[stylishskier]

jon can go pretty big, I think he didn't have the right wax... the pipe was slow in the flat bottom, I dunno if anybody saw how hard dumont and thall had to pump to get speed

 

[Ahmets_Brother]

hwo many tiems did you guys hear "its called a truck driver cuz its like driving a truck"?

 

[twix_182]

hahaha

 

[Peetri]

ya theyre all about amplitude not style.

 

[Antoine.]

hhaa so tru

 

[squibble]

i dont give a fuck who wins, i just want to see some skiing, if they win thats good for them and maybe fantasy freeride but thats it

 

[heymanitsdan]

wait is it true antoine? and those guys are dumbasses

"Switch on snowboarding is the opposite stance but on skiing itscalled backwards."

 

[sKILOve07]

i was genuinely pissed when Dumont got 3rd, poor guy

 

[hollygrove]

Did they say that? Shouldn't he gain points?

 

[Thomson.]

If it was about amplitude and not style, Dumont should have won, even if it was about amplitude and style, Dumont should have one.

 

[Billiards.]

Its like they get so nerveouse they cant talk, youd think Mike Douglas would make shit better...............nope.

 

[asfffffffffdd]

competeing sucks

 

[TMswitch06]

when jon is skiing and he makes it look so easy that should tell the judges that hes that much better. getting points deducted for looking like your not trying is possibly the dumbest shit i have ever heard

 

[heymanitsdan]

i dont think jon deserve to win but he definately deserved a better score than what they gave him. i agree that he should get more for making it look so easy

 

[Lax_Bro40]

then dumonts last run woulda scored him 1st.. i say we get the whole site to email the xgames and bitch at them

 

[klimp]

i say bitching at them proves very little, dominating their polls and being active on their forums is how to do it, show them how the sport can actually be marketable, and bitching isnt the way to do it.

 

[kcck]

seriously

it takes more talent to make it look easy then not. i agree with subjekt on the whole fucking the xgames stuff. good plan team.

 

[IrideArmada]

what really bothered me is when the annoncers kept saying backwards instead of switch god that was frustrating
