Pipe Thread

[Slowbro]

is Nico there? I haven't checked. Nico wins tho

 

[Slowbro]

Idk why but Nico is not there. Mackay wins unless Sallinen gets the alley-oop switch dub 12 he can do.

 

[Kundera]

Aaron Blunck

Noah Bowman

Alex Ferreira

Birk Irving

Brendan Mackay

Jon Sallinen

David Wise

Simon d'Artois

I've completely stopped following the pipe for several years, but from what I've seen from afar, Alex Ferreira is still in top form, Finn Jon Sallinen is one to watch, and David Wise has two kids and goes to church every Sunday.

Streams bugging out big time?

 

[Slowbro]

Yeah stream froze. I don't think sallinen can win with that run but maybe

 

[a_pla5tic_bag]

AHHHHHHHHHHH i was yelling case as soon as he took off

 

[BradFiAusNzCoCa]

Yeah it froze. Had to exit and click again.

That ferreira deck/hip check… literally saw it coming as soon as he set and left the lip.

 

[Slowbro]

Christ... That could have been so much worse but still scary

Saw it with Aaron’s set too. You can just see it in pipe when they get airborne

 

[a_pla5tic_bag]

They should mandatorily do some MRIs or CTs of people who case hard. That might have saved Sarah Burke.

 

[BradFiAusNzCoCa]

Jen Hudak mentioned competitors saying end is not perfectly vertical and that’s totally the case. Simon almost saved that one after being too over the lip

GOD DAMN ALEX

I think he should just call it quits

 

[PeppermillReno]

Oww glad Alex looks to be OK.

 

[Slowbro]

GOD DAMN ALEX

I think he should just call it quits

this is like McEachran in Big Air last year, just getting cooked over and over

 

[EvanMeyer]

Anyone else think the random monster girls at the bottom of the pipe are useless and awkward as fuck

 

[corona]

Were the two kids praying David's kids?

 

[BradFiAusNzCoCa]

Whoa did not realize Kyle Smaine died today..

 

[a_pla5tic_bag]

Damn the pipe taketh today.

Seriously I'd be looking for a POC sponsorship and running full protection.

Is this pipe lopsided or something? So many bad crashes.

According to earlier in the broadcast it is under vert at a few points. Embarrassing for X-Games

 

[BradFiAusNzCoCa]

From what Jen said and I can see, bottom lookers left is less vertical than lookers right.

Also Noah’s fall kind of looked like an acl injury…

Do you mean Noah? Brendan was okay

Lookers right top section is claiming a lot too. And top left, just got Wise.

Yeah he was holding the leg with the ski on it still.

 

[DrZoidberg]

Wow I thought Blunck would have a podium there.

 

[Slowbro]

Wow I thought Blunck would have a podium there.

Same I thought maybe even gold. Wise winning in 2023 was the last thing on my mind lmao

Hard not to notice when multiple athletes get injured in one event. It's hard to build a setup of this level for a competition like this but SPT seems to be dropping the ball year after year. It always seems like there is issues with either the right or left walls. I don't know shit about running a zaugg cat but the inconsistencies are hard to not notice dude.

 

[corona]

That was all around a pretty shitty competition. Poor pipe, injuries, very questionable judging. Not one of x-games finest moments.

 

[BradFiAusNzCoCa]

There have been issues going back to over 10 years ago. Pipe is always hit or miss at X Games. It’s always where they drop the ball

That pipe looked sketchy as fuck. WTF X Games.

Even big air was sketchy a few times. I remember Jon Olsson offered to build the jump that one time cause it was wrecking guys left and right.

I only saw a few clips of womens pipe but I assume it was similarly a mess?

 

[Dlonetti]

Wow I thought Blunck would have a podium there.

There were a couple runs I thought should have taken podium over Salinen

 

[Dlonetti]

I thought the same thing paid to just stand there and wave

 

[GayWolf420]

I say its officially time to abolish X-Games and usher in the new era of Orage Masters. Who's with me?
