how many times have you skied switch. how many times have you skied...nevermind
I'm not saying I could beat either one, and to answer that question, 15 and a half.
dropping in switch was way better plus although I dont like Tanner he was robbed a couple of times too.
He asked how many days you've been skiing this year, not how many roast beef sandwiches you've inhaled in the last 35 minutes.Quote:

His name is too French for the freedom loving judges.
Is there a reason you're asking this question a whole fucking week after the X-games ended???
Why does phUnk keep getting robbed is a more pertinent question.
Who won?
becuase every one in the world is SICK of seeing his ankle-grabbing, F me in the ass move...OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN....
and, if you think "amplitude" is the only thing that should be judged in the pipe, then it should be a one hit, big-air contest...
God, ESPN bugs the fucking shit out of me....
Did anyone ever tell Simon and Tanner and the rest of the "my pants are bigger than John Candy's" crew that they grew up in the suburbs, or even in mountain towns in states like Montana and Maine....NOT Brooklyn....
anyway, nobody got robbed....
I was going to ask why the Juneau Arby's keeps on getting robbed, but Blurred beat me to the punch.Quote:

Powtron clearly hasn't been to the 'Burgh recently. There's more denim on my Siver Cartel one-piece than there is in the Warsaw on any given Thursday night.Quote:

In between nothing was spectacular other than amplitude, but remember, they're not boosting as high as the height meter indicates. I think these were from last year, and I notice again during this years that the people standing on the deck of the pipe seemed to be giants.

I doubt that camera guy is 8ft tall...

You're damn right he isn't 8.5 feet tall, cuz the height meter starts at 3 feet you fuckwad, geez, learn to read the damn scale. Perhaps it was positioned three feet above the lip of the pipe, which would explain it, or maybe people at ESPN are fucktarded, who knows. Either way, these guys prolly went as big or bigger this year as they have in years past, and they sure as fuck went bigger than you ever have.
I heard there was some roast beef in this thread.
P.S. - That guy is clearly 10ft tall.
Emphasis on was.Quote:

I'm not sure if that was just a mess up on their part or if they were trying to make it seem like they were going bigger.Quote:

oh, and while you're thinking about that click on http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/sarcasm After you're famliarized yourself with the term, please realize that it exists in today's world, and you may infact come across some examples of it in your daily life. Thx sweetie ;)

But on a serious note, I think that maybe tanner was more technical in his tricks, but dumont got the crowd more pumped and he went bigger.
If you view it from straight on, the height meter would be accurate for someone taking off about 15 feet up the pipe. My guess is they are measuring the vert from take-off. Either way, those guys are way, way, WAY above the deck.
Yeah, but how far are they above an ibex carcass? A new standard has been set.Quote:
