Cheers RT Thanks for Blueb providing his place for the watching the big event and the sweet & the "hard" liquid for the celebration:eplus2: Thanks for "crucible" to get intouch. Darn so many times we both almost got heart attack reason we need the Hard Liquid ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Scooby: I wouldn't hold your breath about this doing anything for the discipline. It's just going to be one of those weird sports like luge or skeleton, in most people's eyes. They'll only pay attention every 4 years.

lowrider Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Hell no! when the cameras switched from up hill to down hill not knowing who was comming out of the fog to win ! A bluebird day would have been nice.But You take what you get on a race day. Ready to start the debate on which plate will win the next World Cup race ???

Allee Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I just got home, but I have all the racing on tape. Guess what I'm doing tonight ... Jasey Jay's gold medal restores my faith in karma. It couldn't happen to a nicer or more deserving guy. Yay!!! "waves Canadian flag".

Thanks for the reminder how tough it still wud be ahead of taking this sport to be recognize. It took JJ 4 Olympics & abt 12 years to get his Olympic's GOLD It took Blueb many years to have this sport recognize in Cypress Mt and with the helping hand from other fellow carvers like Dave*, crucible, tenorman, ruwi, Cousin of beagle, Pierre, mr_roboteye, xy9ine, wakeupjohn and others to promote this sport in Cypress, Grouse, Seymor and other local mountain. Yes, it's still long way but today was the big day for this sport event to be recognize specially in Canada. Cheers RT:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoltan Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I cannot even tell you how happy I am JJ won! A good guy who's been in the sport forever, and he finally get's his gold (GOLD!) right before retiring. For the record, he shouldn't have been DQed in the 2006 Torino boardercross. His board went around the gate, even if he didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdyno Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Just saw an interview with JJ on CTV, good interview if you can find it. I know that here in Calgary you can see all the olympic coverage free on PPV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Has anybody talked about Schoch? That was hilarious. The fault followed an almost comical series of races for 5th-8th with a no show from Rok Flander of Slovenia resulting in a series of twists including Swiss Simon Schoch coming out of the start gate miming the breaststroke in a pair of swimming goggles before promptly heading off the side of the course, his start securing his run. The farce might cause organisers to reassess the system that decides 5th-8th position with it suggested that times from the qualifying round could potentially be used instead to avoid redundant races in the closing stages of the PGS with the focus on the Small and Big Final. http://www.skiclub.co.uk/skiclub/news/story.aspx?intStoryID=7205 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those consolation races are kinda dumb anyways. But calling it a farce is a bit unfair. Schoch was just having fun. And who says the Swiss have no sense of humour.

Kent Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 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? When FIS decided to go Parallel for GS, it ruined the sport...in my opinion. Single SG was the bomb. Parallel SL still kicks ass though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
