So for ski big air they were considering fakie/forward left/right spins but they don't seem to be doing switch + left/right for snowboarders?

Physically, there are differences in skiers going forward vs backward (knees, body twist, stagger) but a boarder going switch is physically very similar or even the same. Personally I have no problem doing all four ways 180s on a snowboard but that's all I've tried, maybe totally different lol

Style run also proved that 50% of those guys have 0 sense of style.

Fr. Some of those were hard to watch. The judges most have no sense of style either. If they are so “style oriented” now. Why did dani B get a 24 for a tap dub 10. That was the coolest trick in the contest. This is why idgaf about style in x games.

Also In the future for x games big air I wanna see 2 grabs in one jump, that would be dope af

why is there a lot more Japanese influence in snowboarding but not skiing. Maybe I'm not paying attention.

There are a lot of good Japanese skiers in the last 5 years or so, watch Koga Hoshino's street parts and Gen Sasaki and Taisei Yamamoto for park. There are increasingly more Japanese riders in comps too but they haven't broken into the top level yet. Gen Fujii is sick and has landed some nbds

But snowboarding is massively more popular than skiing in Japan. The amount of snowboarders to park skiers when i was there for the 2017-18 season was like 9 to 1.

whats triggering is the people in back of selema screaming for no fucking reason. Also why do they do interviews when they dont have time for them

Dennis has been around for a long time, hes actually in the closing resort segment of few words. was surprised to see him as the alternate tonight, felt like I was seeing more pow content from him recently. I believe he just came out with a new short film this past fall
 
some dumbass in the comments really said "butter by bts should be played when harlaut is skiing" like no henrik is wutang not no fucking bts
