Olympics

What skiing sports are in the Olympics, beside slalom, and gs and stuff like that.

 

[Galin]

thats about it. Theres no park skiing sort of stuff if thats what you're wondering

 

[tride]

Closest event to park skiing is moguls, because those guys are throwing tricks like cork 7s, spins/flips with grabs, etc. A couple of guys are doing cork tens now too.

Of course the actual mogul skiing part of it is still the main focus, so just throwing the best trick on one of the jumps doesn't mean you will win, even though many people seem to have a hard time realizing that.

What I dont get is that they have the half pipe for snowboarding, but not skiing...doesnt make sense to me.

 

[MarkusH]

Ya before skiing gets a pipe comp they need things like a world cup curcuit

 

[BillyGoteMan]

skeleton = poor excuse for a sport

 

[hippie_cat]

[Holte]

moguls are the closest thing

 

[chillonhill]

Katie Couric on the today show said about halfpipe snowboarding that it was the new wave and so amazing how high they go out of the pipe and skiing was so 5 min ago.

I wanted to smash my tv. Idiotic today show

then the next day wow they have on the Sports Illustrated Kellogs Freeskiing from Keystone.

 

[=nick=]

mogels is pretty close

 

[rogerlodge]

moguls are pretty sick, this year off the jumps they are allowed to do corks and inverts so it should be good 2 watch
