Heh, I thought the same thing. These guys are getting some serious wind under them off these jumps - fucking flying!
I thought Mayer was just gonna keep heading towards orbit.

FWIW I think this course is awesome. Fast, sunny, cold. All the courses have been great - better than the slush at Sochi. Wind is a funny variable this week for sure though.
The Down Hill Course looks more like a Super g to me,
Is it just me>
Sorry "Gaeper"Quote:

Anyone else notice Shred's power strap was undone?
The mens biathlon finish was pretty badass, Fourcade is sick and the battle for second was great.
They moved the start down and then modified the gates and line over the jumps so not as much air would be had due to the wind and conditions. They also stated they were going to shorten the Slalom race, at first more than the final course was decided.Quote:

US has won all three snowboard comps so far.
That air to fakie was dope. I want more rad shit, less double whateverthefuck.
When's the slalom for the combined airing? Goddamn, I hate NBC
I usually hate the whole "the chicks suck compare to the guys" thing, but it certainly is true in halfpipe. Chloe Kim is on another level, but the rest of the girls really need to step it up. There's no reason they should be that far behind the guys in their tricks.
Supposedly later tonight, tomorrow their time.

I cannot stand listening to the continuous drone of the commentators. - they are starting to irritate me
They usually do. Seems the same every Olympics.

the confidence and relevant observations shine through
Pretty sure embedded in the constant drone I have heard Shawn White about every 10 seconds
Shaun White is pretty good.
