X Games Pipe was a Joke!

that was espn's worst attempt at covering the pipe, not only did they only show the third runs, they only showed half of the competetors run's, and they never showed or mentioned Candide and that he made it to the finals, i thought it was terrible!

I'd rather be skiing
 
yes it was a joke. and im sure people are gonna be bitching about who should have won and bla bla blah but i think t still has the best style and stupid judges just look for who can go the biggest. and it wasnt like t was going small

i honestly thought Turpins run should have gotten him 9th place.

the judging in the prelims was really inconsistent. Candides run was sick, Dumont fucked up, etc etc.

yeah RAW had all the coverage but i was getting sooo frusterated when it would skip and i would totally miss a hit or something.

Its only for decoration thats it and thats all

i got home late and only caught the tail end of it. but this is bullshit, they showed almost every fuckin snowboard run. i know snowboarding is so much bigger than freeskiing but at least give us some airtime. shit dumont was going so much higher and anttie autti and the other guys. Douglas who i tihnk was doin commentary wasnt even calling the right tricks! i mean cmon, i really do think skiing pipe can be in 2010 olympics but the judging and lack of knowledge of tricks is lame. i guess it will get better as time allows, we are a pretty new sport compared to snowboarding, (freeskiing wise) i mean boarding has been around for longer i believe

the skiers needed to take it up another level so they would be given better coverage next year. Instead they put on an overal weak performance and won't get treated any better next time. I think we should really take action against these guys for denegrating the entire sport in the eyes of the public. its stuff like this that sends freeze out of buisness. Jibbers need to step up, there Urban Rail Bullshit is as cool as motorcylces on snow.

 
fuck, i really really wish I saw Turpin's prelim runs.

and fuck dumont that hucking piece of shit. yeah he went the biggest, but today, tanner was robbed.

oh and one thing no one should disagree on is that we skiers got totally shown up by the snowboarders in pipe. fucking put us to shame, Antti Autti and Andy Finch's runs were fucking amazing!

West is Best.
 
too bad schiller didn't finish his last run, his first hit was huge. dumont shoulda and did won, tanner didn't deserve it

ya i am stunned dougles ought to know when guys like cr and dan marion are spinning unnatty yet he failed to point that out!

I'd rather be skiing
 
^^^ thats cause snowboarders are better at pipe the skiers. dumont didnt go as high as the guy who won 2nd in snowboard pipe. antti autti threw down switch 10 to 10 in the pipe and boosted way out. skiing pipe didnt make them look good, they are good. they just made pipe skiing look really bad. no one is landing switch in the middle of their runs for skiing most people arent spinning both ways and we arent boosting as high or throwing as big of spins down. I think we should forget the x games as a whole and remember usfso cause that was good stuff with the 1260 in the pipe and all. Im very dissapointed... I have to deal with 20 annoying snowboarders tommorrow and for once they will be right.

sometimes I can, like, read peoples minds... its like I have Espn or something...

^please no one comment on my brief lapse of stupidity. no offence to whoever wrote that above my first post. i am an idiot, switch 10 to 10 is most definatly doable and was done by boarders...i am retarded

1.tanner

2.jon

3.dumont

I meant to say the judging was inconsistant, sorry. Too much going on right now.

I think xgames shuodl be judged by the competitors.....the guys shuold all judge eachother instead of having like chuck norris or whoever on the judging panel and handing out points for amplitude and rollerblade grinds

Douglas was one of the judges. I don't know who the others were.

i wanted to murder those announcers.....it was like a 20 minutes lecture on amplitude....seriously, i didnt even know that was a word, i think he got liek 100 bux commission for each time u used teh word, some sort of subliminal message.

Ski New Jersey
 
Rinfret judged, Loubek, Shane Szocs, Douglas... I forget who else. They weren't idiots judging by ANY means, they just screwed up, as far as I'm concerned anyways.

I don't think Gagnier was even in pipe qualifiers. I wish they'd thrown Turpin into the finals when Candide pulled out last minute. He was 1st one to miss the cut anyways.

tanner's third run was flawless in almost every aspect, including that sick ass 10 at the bottom, but he only put together two good runs, Simon put together three mostly good runs...he never fell, only dropped his hands or what not....i thought dan marion shouldve gotten higher than he did tho, because all of his runs were SICK, especially his last

'core shots just mean you're badass.' -itsbackfliptime
 
dumont fell on his 3rd run... a fall, not just setting his hands down... he didnt even throw the 9 he was talkin about

 
who did then baker..dumizzle didnt go with the 10, tanners 5 was double grab..more style if you ask me

D$
 
I dont think the skiers did that bad actually. I dont really know if I think back to back 10s were all that good. Sure they are hard, but it didnt really look that good. Furthermore, the skiers amplitude is more than that of (at least from what I saw) the snowboarders; maybe not as constistent. Its good to see that these guys have finally learned to spin both ways in the pipe.

signatures are for pussies

 
i liked it when davenport asked hall what happened...tanner was like 'i went down the pipe, did tricks, and landed...thats what happened'

you are one giant piece of internet suck -...focus....
 
fuck the xgames the slopestyle was gay as hell anyway as well as the pipe. who won the pipe

how 'bout we dig a cave that goes underneath the huge booter on Nick's run so that we have a place to puff puff-NosNjection

:please:
 
I thikn every rider fell on at least 2 of their runs!! Some on all 3

Pete is currently sulking around Mt. Hood, shooting with Poor Boyz Productions and hitting on Kristi Leskinen. She hates guys, Pete lamented, so it’s not going good. Apparently Canada isn’t the only thing that’s tough for Pete to get into.

i guess my criteria was tanner's 7 foot alley-oop

i hear you , i wanted to kill them two, they're so freakin annoying, but yeah i def. agree, xgames raw kicked ass, and they did mention candide and how he got injured, you just need the v.i.p feed, haha.

Tanner shouldn't win just for the way he acts everytime he loses. He needs to grow up, and the pipe skiing wasn't very impressive. the snowboarding was way better to watch. skiers have a ways to go

thumbs up
 
lets keep bitchin and complaining on what you all thought shoulda happened, since u guys are all so right i mean u all know what ur talkin about spending your time on the computer talkin bout skiing instead of skiing makes u guys 100% right and much more correct then the actual judges

 
If only... if only.

After several seasons battling injuries and even now nursing a pulled back muscle and tweaked ankle, X Games Nine saw the return of Whistler's innovative Chris Turpin. Despite amazing the crowd with an innovative and super-difficult routine of linked switch maneuvers in the pipe, he was unable to gain either enough amplitude or the judges favor, missing the cut by one. 'I wish they had respected the difficulty I was showing in a slow pipe and realized that at night—when the pipe is icy—is when I would shine,' said a disappointed Turpin.

Fuck amplitude... I wated to see that shit in the finals.

last night they showed all 3 of the runs of pretty much every snowboarder in pipe but in skiing they only showed half the skiers and 1 or 2 of thier 3 runs... how gay

Jazz flutes are for little fairy boys
 
no way. dumont totally desrved to win. tanners third run was good but he was boosting 12 feet compared to dumonts 18-19.

sms sess 4
 
they only showed 1/2 of the skiers and that shit cause they wanted to be the asses they are and have time to show the fucking snowcross. i hate snowcross get it out of here and show all the skiiers/runs. notice how after the superpipe, they showd the semi finals and the finals of the snowcross...

 
did they even show dumont's full run? i only saw clips of the first hit(and he didn't even land all that clean...almost decked it)
