KingCrimson Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I musta missed an SG. Whatever happened to the guy who won a podium in the 05 FIS on a Virus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiveBomber Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 this looks like a good Hardboot course, I bet Jasey Jay would rip it up. what is up with Watanabe's Mustache? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spil Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I also saw an Oxxess with a really short nose. Most of the kesslers have black topsheets, but they are still metal I assume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 yeah 99% sure all kesslers are metal this year... Jacobelis For The Win! (No method off the last kicker?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Damn that was a good final Congrats to graham on the silver. Siversen wins the style points with another flip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 He may not have put down his run, but that unnatural 720 over the gap by White was insane. easily best trick so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfell Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 The Kesslers are still metal. The top sheet is actually a low grade base material. This years course helped Graham out a ton, many more features and less gliding gave the guy a shoot this year. When you are as small as Graham, long gliding section aren't so good. That final was amazing. Tons of great riding. And Stian will front flip anything, giant booters, small rollers, ect. And what do you mean what's up with his 'stashe, he's been working on it for a while, he even uses wax on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I loved it when the announcer referred to something Shaun White did in the slopestyle as a "eurocarve". He crossed the gap and then he had to "eurocarve" back to get to his next set. Also I was disappointed to see Nick Baumgartner go down in the finals.

Dave ESPI Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I watched a bit of it lastnight. I was kinda pissed Xavier didnt it in the freestyle Ski. I felt the runs by Simon Dumont had far more style, and he even tossed some tricks in while starting his runs.... crowd pleaser. Halfpipe qualifying runs, the rider who was before Sean Whites last run took a hard spill when he caught his heeledge comming down off that rotation. Looked like he busted his knee ligiments.... the look onhis face Ive seen before. Not good. Been lookingfor an update as to his status but nothing so far on the wire from what I can see. Anyone else catch the Travi Rice slam in the practice run? he was sooooo lucky to ride away from that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't close to eurocarve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
