[LittleJibber16]

[mmm4twintips]

[SkiBM680]

u managed to care enough to reply to the thread

 

[attitashfreestyle29]

i watched that too it was so funny to see all those celebrities ski like they completely sucked i don't know who wants to watch bad skiers fall but the switch thing was kinda cool

 

[skicali916]

yeah i just got done watching it

 

[Adamskinick]

tanner and mahre was cool to watch.

 

[mski]

but CR is hurt? damn TV messing with my mind.

 

[LittleJibber16]

yea but guess what, it's exposure and it's not old footage of people doing backscratchers, it's people skiing a whole run switch and thousands of people will have watched it and been like, wow that'ws cool maybe is should do that and go buy twins and start newschool skiing

 

[skiierman]

Damnnn, I don't even know how'd you'd do an all switch run on gs... Haha, that would be sick to watch.

 

[m1garand]

post it up for those of us without tv.

 

[Ghost82nd]

you can do it cause the slope theyre using is basically a bunny hill

 

[dandoy]

yeah what was the name of the event, it must be on the internet...

 

[watchmefall15]

i think it was olenick or gagnier that won the thing, anyway they are really good at skiing switch

 

[mmm4twintips]

yea and you got posley and pcaboo calling it "hotdogging" thata not moving shit forward i watched the same thing. If you have been on a mountain in the past 3 years anyway im sure you have seen someone skiing switch.

and its still racing gates.

X-games superpipe on Live TV and it being on ABC thats the exposure you want.

Its sunday and i am bored like the rest of you guys are all the time so i responded because i just watched it as well.

 

[wantMoSno]

Yeah, it wasn't even close to a GS run. It was some green groomer with some really wide gates. Still cool that they went the whole way switch though.

 

[skiierman]

^ Yeah it is.

 

[m1garand]

they called it hotdogging? what is this? the 70s?

 

[Billek]

Nah man, its not even the 10's yet =P

 

[Tclif]

haha it was so wierd to hear CR and Tanner competing vrs each other and then to actually watch the tv and see two guys skiing a course swith

 

[dweezileast]

which is a bad thing

 

[Calrin]

honestly what demographic of people were they trying to appeal to? its not Xtreeme at all.

 

[r.w]

is there anywhere that we can watch it on the web?

 

[Tclif]

^ you didnt miss much, just image someone skiing fakie between gates... thats it.

 

[Mattman]

yea it was a good race

 

[Tinga]

umm you dont have a tv?

wow thats hardcore

 

[Scoszko]

its exposure and even though they made switch seem like it was new and never seen before, its opens the sport up to new viewers

 

[mark311]

youre right, we definatly dont want people to recognize our sport. i mean, its way cooler when no one respects us or what we are doing.

 

[fukeneh]

ouch

 

[ec_jibbin]

whatever its like Real TV, its not worth watching, but people do to pass the time so who cares if it was on TV

 

[Lineskier-101]

It wasn't as impressive as you think, they were going very slow, and only did like three turns before they tried a switch three.

 

[Literature]

Switch downhill, thats what I want to see. 110 ft Zero spins at 80 mph while landing and taking off from ice. That shit would be sooo ridiculously crazy.

 

[Tclif]

im sure this was filmed weeks, months, years ago...
