Will Olympic Qualified Athletes Hold Back During XGames?

[CrazedSkier1080]

Its snowboarding, but now that all the qualifying for the US snowboard team is over, do you think athletes who are going to the Olympics this year and X Games will take it easy at X?

I feel like it could go both ways.

Discuss...

You have a little brown on your nose, go find a napkin, or better yet, a beach towel.

although the xgames are enormous.. come on man, the olympics are the fucking olympics. only once ever 4 years do they occur, making it an even more amazing accomplishment

idk i feel like X would be a good place to get your run dialed. 22 ft walls just like the olympics and im sure it will be cut to perfection. although i think the ginger and other will be holding back maybe a couple crazy tricks because they dont have it down, i doubt any of them are gona take it "easy"

A new trick at x will probably be judged higher.. then thrown down at the olympics..

i saw the qualifier i park city... the flying tampon will not be holding back.. his first run had 3 toubles and amplitude to spare..... and he coulda have qualified with 1 double...he may be a douche but hes dam good on the board and i doubt he will hold back.. besides even if he does, he will still probably win
