Props to the girls for stepping it up bigtime. Sarah did a 1260, Roz did 1080 (they both had troubles with the landing, but still impressive) and Ashley nailed a switch 7. Good to see the girls going for it.
 
Wow, way to find a reason to hate on something impressive.

Were they all grabbed? It was hard to tell at night and from a distance, but I would bet that probably they did not all nail blunts and hold them through the entire rotation.

However, they still looked pretty sick, nothing flaily, pretty corked on Sarah and Roz's part, and sweet style for Ash regardless of whether or not she held a grab. And they pushed it on a huge jump so give them a break. They all could have easily done fives with good grabs, and then people would be beaking them for doing easy tricks "that my sister can do".

1999 hey? Heres a link to Cussons winning trick from 2000 X-Games big air. http://espn.go.com/media/xgames/2000/0119/video/0119jfc.avi

The girls last night looked a hundred times better than that trick. So did you hate on him back then too, because it wasn't grabbed, or did you maybe realize that he was pushing the sport and give some credit where it was due?
 
how ian cosco did not qualify to finals with a stomped dub cork 12 and ian williams qualified by falling twice is absolutely ridiculous... i really think they fucked up the last names and switched them somehow. however, ian, jf and austin killed it in finals definitely a good show, looked like a sick jump.
 
They did the same thing with the snowboarders going into the super finals, but the mcs corrected themsevles. wierd.
