[SIX]

looks like they think it has a speed issue once again and that it might turn into another big air comp.

 

[sconnyFC]

no helicoils? that is amazing!

 

[PHNMdesign]

yeah snow is forecast tonight or tomorow there..maybe it will be like last year...no slopestyle..just fucking big air

 

[Stumpa]

There is always a speed issue on the Buttermilk SS course. It is just the exception when the speed is right.

 

[twintipteles]

haha, "heeliecoils"

the writer probably thought everyone mispronounced it, since obviously the only way to fix a heelpiece is with a heeliecoil.

[Ryanvdonk]

FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKK!

I made a thread about speed problems at x and everyone was like you tool, it was the snow. Looks like the pros agree with me that X has had speed problems last year and this year.

Goddammit, X-games always manages to fuck it up somehow.... I could run a better event.

if there having probs with speed then the snowboarders are prob having a woarse time

 

[dr_phil]

hmmm they should have followed Royale's instructions to build a jump...

 

[slimbruddah]

Haha that's awesome. You called that so good.

 

[Mskier91]

yea, thats those reactions are fully understandable though... its a really flat course and even last year it was hard to get speed

Hopefully they change it for the Aspen Open. I'm not trying to "drop 70 feet out of the air".
