its funny to think that today if someone threw a 5 in xgames or hit a rail straight youd probably never be invited back again, but back than the judges would scream at how gnarly they think it is

Commentators sounded funnier in the 2002 run, but then I realized, they got the names of the tricks right.

If you watch his 02 big air winning run, it's a switch rodeo 720. Skiing has had a ton of progression, Though for air in superpipe, it's been all dumont.

Mens skiing back then is like womens skiing right now. Maybe womens skiing just hasnt had the chance to progress. Then again maybe its because their just women.

[Chinchi]
