i dont recall slopestyle being big air. the last jump is big air but i remember many styly tricks. like olenick cork 5 on the hip. gagnier 7 nose. and little things like that. i remember one of the guys doing 3 of the 4 fives. so i dont sense the big air factor. but more rails is agreed.

i think bigger rails, more variety in rails (an s, or a battleship) when it comes to rails... and a step up to step down... yeah.

more rails, definetly. Last year there were only 2 raisl the pros actually hit, everything else was like a 50 ft table top

 
the whole two different lines (jump and rail) was not a good idea. you have to intermix the two. someone who is not so good at rails can just hit the jumps and vice versa. it was dumb.

dude, almost everyone did a sw 10 at the end, at least the people winning were.

Almost no one did the rail line. the set up last year was a bad idea.

i cant take him[liam downey] seriously cuz his name reminds me of that downy bear from back when i was a kid -d loc

I don't deny there are bad things in the US right now, hell, 51% of the country to be exact. But god damnit, our country being fat is NOT a problem. I do't give a shit how fat people are. hell, fat kids are harder to kidnap, that means our country is safer.

it should be like a good park setup, you can pick a combo of whatever and it wouldnt be just flat down rails

Ya they need more creative rails. Yes a double staircase or what not is cool, but they should throw in a curved S box, or that crazy flat c flat or whatever it is at breck.

Wallride at the very bottom anyone?

I wanna see more pros fall in the xgames, It shouldnt be about throwing consistent 9's over everything, it should just be the best style on elements that show the progression of snowboarding and skiing

 
a huge rainbow would be kinda of sick, an S rail would b kinda sick... and i dont recall any one having t do a huge gap onto a rail like u c in rail jams, they need that as well

gotta love the natty, unnatty 450s out.

yea everyonme was doing cab 10 at the bottom. did you see any flailing in any of those 10???

Charles and Jon styled the shit out of everytrick they did.

Sure they need more rails but you have to remeber that a supertechnical rail set up will only show railslides to fakie or 270 out when normal set ups mean more technical tricks.

^^ ya that is true too.. if the rail is to technical the rider will be prone not to throw anything too technical onto it. I just wish the scoring was based upon different variations of tricks thrown onto more technical rails. But lets face it, its not what the companies who fund the athletes and the competitions want to see. They want their riders to be flawless.

 
they should seriously make a rail that goes Rainbow to flat to down...it would be so fucking illin

i just realized this...pussyfooter has 2 names, one with 5 thousand posts and one with 2 thousand. that's a fucking ton.

the x games run is a joke, thats all there is to it.....put a 12 foot rail next to a 50 foot jump....yeah someones gona fuckin hit that........biggest jump is 50 feet...?

they should make all the jumps at least 65ft and make a channel gap somewhere in the line of jumps... for the rails they should have a flat rail, followed by a kink rail for pros to get tech on, and then follow it up with some harder rails like an s and a battleship and NO BOXES...

the c rail variation is up c down. im pretty sure that's it.

It needs to be more like the superpark set up. Just an interesting montage of features. It would be more interesting for everyone, especially the viewers watching it on tv. More interest in it, gives them more money.

More rails is def a better idea. But if they had an s-rail all it would do is mess up peoples runs and make them look like they suck to the general public. It would just be fall after fall untill somebody gets lucky and gets it. Not many people can consistanly grease and s-rail, let alone do interesting tricks on them. but a battle ship c-rail or somthing would be sick.

fuck ya there should be more rails. and about "how it looks to the general public"^shut up. the BEST would prevail, which isn't always the case in these events... fuck an s-rail, but some killer kinks and other shit. the jumps last year were pretty perf, but certainly should be more rails. word

well...they had a lot of rails in it, but the skiers just chose to hit the jumps instead

I hope they where bigger than 50 feet that's not really that big. but ya a few more rails would be good.

and now it's time to go commit internet suicide

Everyone posting on here, again get your facts right before you post shit on here!

The fact of the matter is that this year's slopestyle course had more rails that any prior year. The fact is that the broadcast of the comp only shows the line that the competitor takes. Last January there were 2 different lines skiers could take. One, which the majority took was full of hips and booters. The other line, which very few took, and no-one took the whole way down was full of rails. Around about 10 all up if you took it the whole way down. Thing is, noone ever really saw it on TV.

In terms of having bigger jumps, its a contested issue each year and competitors complain each year about the size of the jumps, especially Jon did this year. The problem is that it's difficult for Aspen to build large tabletops on the run that they have the course because it is too short and too flat. The last money-time booter was actually built up after the first couple of days. There were originally to kickers on that table but the smaller one to the left was pulled and the larger got built up larger.

It shouldnt have 2 lines, cause every year there are features that stay unhitted. Just one line with 40% Rails and 60% Jumps. That would be perfect, nowadays a course with 15% rails doesnt show what skiing is, Rails are very important in skiing right now.

They should only have one course for all the competitors with more rails. They should have an s so not everyone can do it perfect and they should have a big gap to rail so candide can lay down some disasters.

 
I don't think an S is agood Idea, cause I don't think a lot of pros can clear it always... I was thinking more like: 1 flat down flat box, 1 flat down rail, 1 medium gap to down rail, 1 easy san francisco box for crazy 360switch ups. And then 5 Different Jumps between the rails or after all the railing. That would be PERFECT for what I think. 45% rails, 55% jumps

The Risk Free Shop
 
first off, you're the regressing one, anything different and anything new is progression. i'm tired of hearing people complain about this. omg gagnier did a one footed grind he's so gay lol! no... the fact of the matter is, gagnier stuck his neck out in a competition, in the x-games no less, the most publicly viewed newschool ski competition in america so dont criticize him because nobody on here has half the balls that that man has.

'damn son landing switch in pow is like...eating jello with a fork...'

Please read as I said, the reason why there is 2 lines is because thye run is too short and too flat. You should see the scaffold structure at the top of the course just for the first rail. It's frigging huge and a hell of a hike up a neverending staircase. I'm all for more rails, but the problem is that placing more rails on that copurse would mean reducing the size of the kickers because competitors would just not have enough speed to clear say the tabletop size they used this year.
