I'm with you. I always look forward to Winter X. The freestyle sleds were cool, but I am disappointed they took out Moto Best Trick. It was my favorite. I dig the Mulisha boys.

This is actually the first year I've gotten into this. Don't know why, I'm always up at the mountain for all of the "pre x games" competitions and we always send several 'locals' to the X games. But, I'm looking forward to watching this year.

Tanner Hall is our local, so we always get pumped for his comp.

White is an animal. I cant believe some of the stuff he can do, and so fluently!!

Tanner Hall is another amazing guy. Cant wait to watch again tonight, I love this stuff!

We've watched Shaun White since he was like 12 or 13 trying to just get into X, now he's the king. That's great. That kid's got a great personality.

I can't believe it, but I fell asleep and missed the second run for Skier pipe final last night. I thought for sure Simon Dumont had it with his first run, then I read in the paper, Tanner came back and got the gold. And I freakin missed it. Damnit.

[ludo21]

always highlights ;D

Yeah I too have watched White when he started. Caz thats when I started, and i could not beleive a 12 yr old was even in the games!!

He seems like a nice guy too which is cool

[Mtbrncofn]

I agree. I always thought so too. A lot of these athletes seem like they're very easy going and cool.

I've seen Tanner throw some tantrums a time or two though. I still can't believe he ever recovered from breaking both of his ankles.

You snowboarders are a crazy lot. ;D

I absolutely love this stuff too, just bums be out that it's so short!

[ludo21]

Yea its too bad we dont get any over seas televised competitions.

Here is a good joke.

Whats a snowboard say in his greeting??










Sorry, dude

;D

[Mtbrncofn]

LOL That's appropriate.

Unfortunately, some of them are really rude and discourteous. I've had them be rude to my kids and let them know exactly how I feel. I will admit though, I'm in awe of their skills. I know I couldn't do it. I'll stick with my skis.

[ludo21]

if i learned to ski first i probably wouldnt have learned to board.

Its a blast tho, and sometimes i do get out of control. Thats how i killed my shoulder last weekend.

Came up put of the trees went off a jump a little crooked and it was too late, i was done.

What sucked is it happened on the first day, so i had to board with it all jacked up the rest of the weekend.! I was a lot easier on myself the rest of the weekend. ;D

[Mtbrncofn]

That's what you get for jumping and trees. ;D

[ludo21]

Ha!

but its too mcuh fun to stop! ;D

Shaun White makes 1080's look soooo easy and smooth. He is crazy.

Travis Rice did a double back flip today during the best trick comp, another sweet trick.

[Mtbrncofn]

I saw it. It was spectacular. That skier X is crazy! It's like racing at Talladega only on skis! Wrecks everywhere.

[Mtbrncofn]

I'm bummed for Shaun, although Fisher had a great run. Shaun didn't seem too happy. I've never seen him like that.
