it was that bad to me, and ill tell you why (i want to justify my stance)
First off, they knew this event was going to happen for months. The course was built the week of.
We had to spend money on transportation to get out there, food, lodging, and of course the entry fee. So we get a course that is suited to hacked ams?
The course had almost no flow - that is to say after coming off the rails, you were all cockeyed for the first jump. After landing the first jump, you had to cut all your speed for the second jump or die (basically what i did). Then, if you opted to do stuff on the rails, if you actually tried anything substantial, it would dick your speed for the tiny ass step over at the bottom.
The landings... oh my the landings. They were flat, hacked to death and shorter than a kumomoto oyster.
The features were tiny for the level of competition. They kept saying in the ads and what not that there would be a very high level of competition, so what do they have? Tiny jumps. That last jump... that second jump (by the way, what on earth was up with its lip?), all small.
If you compare it to last year, the jumps were considerably larger last year (albeit the lips were screwy as well).
Thats just the course. Why is it so hard to manicure a jump that is of a high caliber? Im not saying it needs to be akin to something like the US Open course, but that was a pathetic and horrible excuse for a slopestyle course. nuff said
Any idea on what will be set up?
