We Love John Symms

omg rofl

im laughing so hard at "blow up and eat shit"

3:56 p.m. Don’t know who this is. Woah, nice 360. She almost grabbed

her skis on that one. Coming into the second jump and…she eats shit and

blows up.

4:00 p.m. Nice fakie 180, Kristi. Oops. Stays on her feet. And she’s

skipping the rest of the course. At least she didn’t blow up and eat

shit like the rest of the girls. Kristi’s ability to ski from top to

bottom without injury might just bump her into that coveted first-place

spot.

3:56

p.m. Don’t know who this is. Woah, nice 360. She almost grabbed her

skis on that one. Coming into the second jump and…she eats shit and

blows up.

4:00 p.m. Nice fakie 180, Kristi. Oops. Stays on her feet. And she’s

skipping the rest of the course. At least she didn’t blow up and eat

shit like the rest of the girls. Kristi’s ability to ski from top to

bottom without injury might just bump her into that coveted first-place

spot.

4:02 p.m. Angeli VanL’aanen just skied from top to bottom, only

skipped one feature, and only looked like she was going to eat serious

shit one time. She’s in first now for sure.

4:05 p.m. Look out. Here comes Stephanie Meyers. Careful with those

knees, Steph. Nice straight air. Uncle E says, “That’s a 90 off, isn’t

it?” It is, Chris. Stephanie Meyers seriously upped the ante on that

last run. Kim Lamarre is way out in first right now. I bet her run is

sick. I joined the contest after her first run though. Hibbert says,

“Come on, Meg. Bring out the 900.” Yeah right.

4:08 p.m. Uncle E is bringing spectators back from commercial with

the quote, “Slopestyle for you newcomers…” I guess he doesn’t realize

that all the newcomers are competing in the women’s slopestyle right

now. Meg just blew up and ate shit on the flat-down box. No worries,

Meg. You’d only have to worry if somebody behind you was about to land

a run.

4:10 p.m. Kim Lamarre. She just ate shit on the knuckle of jump #3.

However, she grabbed her skis three times before that, which is three

more times than the rest of the field grabbed their skis. And then,

despite the bummer in the middle, she just did some legit-ass rail

tricks on the bottom. If I could do Kim’s rail stuff, maybe I could

compete in a slopestyle. She’s going to win.

4:12 p.m. Uh oh, Kim. Some girl with a name I’m not going to try to

spell just spun more than 360 on one of the jumps, and she slid the

down-flat-down rail.

4:14 p.m. Kim’s safe. Aerts is into 3rd. That’s legit. She had a

legit run. Kim ought to think about moving up to the big leagues and

competing in the slopestyle coming up after the girls’ contest.

4:15 p.m. 360. 360. 360. Skip the rest of the course. The crowd goes wild.

4:18 p.m. Battersby makes it to the bottom without getting hurt. She

might pop up into first. I didn’t see Kim’s run, but Ashley spun a lot,

and looked much less like she was going to blow up and eat shit than

any of the rest of the girls I’ve seen. She could take it. Just more

proof that ESPN needs to boost ratings and put women’s slopestyle into

the X Games.

4:20 p.m. Shanny Coen is going for it. Great fakie 180! Going big on

jump 2 and…she lands right on her side/face. Thanks for coming out,

Shanny.

4:21 p.m. Van Valin calls out a 540. Somehow this girl did a 5 taking off and landing forward. Amy Sheehan.

4:22 p.m. Commercial break. I’m glad I’m not judging this event. How

do you tell one phenomenal 360 muscle-flex from another? The technical

subtleties of these runs take a well-seasoned adjudicatory eye to

discern.

4:24 p.m. Ashley Battersby just shot up into first place. Better

luck next year, Kim. Maiko Hara just did an inward 270 off of the flat

rail. Progressive. Uncle E is trying to piece the lead change together

and says, “maybe it was that switch 540 up top.” Maybe. Maybe it was

that switch 270 disaster at the 2004 Powder Magazine Superpark.

4:27 p.m. Anna Segal killed the jumps. Then she killed herself on the rails. Better luck next year, Anna.

4:29 p.m. Caia something has just done some very stylie turns around

the jumps in the course. She got a little sketchy going through some

soft stuff on the sides. But her decision to stay out of the air should

lock her up the fastest time on the course thus far.

4:33 p.m. Stephanie Meyers. Last chance to dethrone Battersby and

her masterful handling of everything on the course except for her skis

(get it, she didn’t grab). And she eats shit. Gotta keep working on

keeping those eyes open off the takeoffs, Steph. Keep those eyes open,

and you’ll land flat on your back far less.

4:36 p.m. Ashley takes it home. Nice job, Ashley.

Yes and even though I believe in the women's rights movement, they shouldn't have had the right to be on that course competing.  If I hadn't have been so drunk during the middle of the day I would have spiked my computer.  Then the moderators deleted my insightful, passion driven threads on the subject.  
 
you complete prick, grow up and stop being such a cunt

why shouldnt they have the right to compete on the course, who the fuck are you to make suchh a judgement
 
Judging from what I saw they should have divided up the prize money and been given equal last places. 

I have a joke for you:

How many girls does it take to get worked by a curved upbox?

That's why they shouldn't be on the course. 
 
You are going to the US Open right? After all this shit talking? Talking shit on the women and Evan Heath among others? Symm's blog was humorous. You and your posts make you seem like a douche bag. Why don't you take your snowlerblades down to Copper and see how many features you can fag tag with them.

Hahahaha best one... ^^
