No.2 Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Does any one know where to find videos of BoarderX racing? I can't seem to find any thing worth while. Tryed Google and Google video, eDonkey, G1 and G2 and DC++ hubs. Maybe I'm searching in the wrong language. BX is bigger in Europe than the US right?

D-Sub Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 if you watch the Brazilian girl, then look at the "similiar vids" there's one that says "eat snow bitch" even the title just pisses me off. People are such morons these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.2 Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 That is just sad. She was grabbing the last big jump before for stability but...... what can you say. She was riding great. I'm glad I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfell Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Isabel is rad, she is also a decent PGS rider as well. Don't believe the "stability" grab hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 I wouldnt call it "hype" phil, but Im sure it was definitely spin control ie something made up, but... I dont see what the big deal was. If she had stuck the landing no one would have rousted her. Foolish move that cost her a gold. Only person that should be upset is HER. and the chick that was celebrating so wildly should have been far more tame. She ONLY won because the girl made a huge error. She was light years behind anyway, the **** talking in the comments made me red in the face. People are such idiots these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 the non-snow vids are longboarding races. and i agree, there are many idiots on the internet, and im thankful we only get a few each season here on BOL. (although people like "$$$$$" certainly make it more interesting) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfell Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 D there is a ton of behind the scenes when it comes to SBX. Tonja who won did a similar move two seasons ago which cost her a world cup win. I'm not bashing Lindsay at all and have defended her on many occasions, it was her race, her medal, her life she can do with it as she pleases. She has taken things very well and will still be a medal contender in 2010. But you don't grab method and tweak it for "stability". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.2 Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 She was grabbing the last big jump before for stability Opps... To clarify. I was talking about the last big jump before the final jump she went down on. Might have been clearer to say she was grabbing the previous jump for stability but..... yeah like you say tweeking a method... There sure must have been stuff behind the scenes for that reaction at the end and for there to have been any need for a PR spin. After all it's BX isn't it? Arn't you allowed to say something like hey I was just goin large for crowd and slamed, bummrr, ah well, still got the silver huh! I was just keen to see some good BX racing haveing just done one. To be honest it annoyed me a bit. Trying to spend as little time as poss on your edge was driveing me crazy. Still variety is good for your rideing right? Still keen to see some good footage of hard booters BXing..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we define the term differently. still, comes down to the people talking ---- in the site comments need to be smacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
