skategoat Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Am I the only guy who thought that race was boring as hell? Maybe it was the rain and fog on the camera lens but it sure looked slow. There was zero drama. Compare it to short track speedskating. I can see why NBC is airing it at 11PM. I think FIS needs to re-think the format. Maybe a longer race, less gates, more speed. And how about that parallel format? How many times did the racers run into each other or nearly run into each other after the finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I have to agree. It was as messy as hell out there, with girls going everywhere over the last few races. The conditions were, to put it mildly, bloody awful. I think they were all just happy to be done by the end. I'm sure it was just the conditions. I remembered the Torino races being much more entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I hope they tidy up that left side with the blue gates for the men... yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveBomber Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 yes that race didnt do us any favors, they really need to get rid of the parallel, skiers don't have it why do we? and yes the fog really makes it look like crap. and more US and canadian riders....

MJB Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hi hardbooting brothas and sistas, I will post updates from twitter acct - snowboardracing (teamcsc) today, as I will be standing at the top of the pgs coaching. When I get a chance. I'm coaching forerunners and there for team CSC alumni Lambert and Morison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonbass Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 It looked like a few riders have gone inside the stubby on a specific gate on the blue course. They haven't mentioned it. I was sure a couple of them would be DQed but they weren't. i am assuming that they have to go outside the stubby. Maybe the course judges just can't see. Poor Sigi. The weather looks awful. It's pretty crazy how many riders are there on their own dime. maybe we should start an international fund for supporting racer if there isn't already one.

jonbass Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 ECES is supporting Tyler, it would be nice if the announcers were hardbooters, one of them actually said they drag their hands to act as rudders to make the turn I was thinking of more of a universal fund that any riders could apply for. It is awesome that ECES is supporting Jewel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 All I can do is find the results of qualifications. Heat 7 looks interesting. Can't believe that is the first round for both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutmeg Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Am I the only guy who thought that race was boring as hell? Maybe it was the rain and fog on the camera lens but it sure looked slow. [...]I think FIS needs to re-think the format. Maybe a longer race, less gates, more speed. And how about that parallel format? How many times did the racers run into each other or nearly run into each other after the finish? I totally agree. The whole thing takes too long. They go down the same hill 10 times (Qualification, eight final, quarter final, semi final, final. each red and blue.) And just when stuff finally should get exciting (semifinal) they add in a ranking run (losers of quarter finals) that even the racers don't seem to be interested in. (More than once the second player did not do the run.) Plus after semi-finals there were *huge* waiting periods. I lost my patience at this point and switched to the Ski Race. Compare to a Ski GS. Skip the first heat and start of the second one and simply watch the best 20 runners in second heat. 35 minutes, with a short break between #16 and #15. See all the best doing their best without huge waiting periods and uninteresting stuff. PGS also suffers from the fact that it can only be done on wide, rather (compared to the skiers, afaict on TV) easy slopes. I would love to see them run something that at least looks a little bit more spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
