Ski big air pissed all over snowboard big air

well there was no real big name snowboarders there except for t rice and he fell during semi, same thing with slope style too. As much as i hate him white would dominate.
 
this thread has already been made. original thread is called "skiers are amazing."not hating just informing you
 
So what, skiers also fell on simple tricks like 270s off. Quit acting superior, boarding is sick, skiing is sick.
 
in all honesty, the skiing tricks just looked so much bigger, and were so much smoother than the boarder tricks. I preffer watching boarding for pipe, but the men skiing big air was so sick while I got bored of the border big air, and actually ended up turning it off a few minutes in.
 
i wouldnt say that ski big air pissed all over snowboarding big air... the kid that won snowboard big air did double corks 2 different ways. (backside and frontside) which technically in skiing terms he did and unnatural double cork. i know its different for boarders but its still fucking nuts.

haha no kidding, I watched at least 6 runs in a row where they boarder couldnt even complete the run. the guy who yelled was the best

 
Ha seriously...I don't even snowboard or follow it but I recognize most of the guys competing in big air and slopestyle.
 
Kinda my point :P
Horgmo and Helgson are so stylish to watch when they're putting it down, just go watch black winter..
 
well considering he won last year and has a assortment of dubs and add trice to the mix would have made a much more exciting show.
 
do you guys know how hard it is to spin like that and then just come out of it like nothing? snowboarding isn't like skiing were you can just untuck your legs and slow the rotation, you pretty much have to land perfectly to even land at all
 
Well, T Rice didn't make it to the final, he got 15th in the slopstyle prelims and got 4th in the first semi heat in big air.. So he just wasn't good enough. He's probably the best all around snowboarder though.
 
^ you got me there i haven't been paying attention except for the finals but you got to admit that white would have made thing more interesting. Im going back to lurking before i get myself in more trouble pce
 
Is there a vid of Helgenson's winning dubs? He slayed in Black Winter, would like to see it. I agree that overall snowboard big air was awful other than the top few riders. Too bad T-Rice wasn't landing his stuff.
 
people give travis rice way too much credit. halldor killed it. ive watched his stuff for a few years now and knew it was only a matter of time till he made the big stage. and shaun white needs to go die. no one needs to win everything
 
haha no big names. Halldor is the next big thing in snowboarding. he is unreal. Watch this if you still doubt
me.

granted the skiers fell on some reasonably easy stuff in slopestyle, and the conditions were fairly bad during snowboard slopestyle, but there were something like 9 runs with falls on them in a row, it got kinda boring.
