bigdyno Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I noticed that there was a significant amount of talk regarding the equipment technology and tweaking during the men's PGS. It was the only event I heard any reference to the technology, mind you I didn't really watch that much. I also found this article in the Toronto Star, talking about the clothing technology: http://olympics.thestar.com/2010/article/772783--did-we-win-by-seam-of-our-pants Is everyone ready to reconsider the $1500 jacket thread? It could make you faster....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbass Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 It's too bad that image is so important in this sport. "We want to keep the cool factor in snowboarding, we don't want it to go speed suits," said U.S. boarder Nick Baumgartner, who felt the Canadian team's pants broke a gentleman's agreement among racers that pants would be kept a certain width. (Baumgartner was later eliminated in a qualifying round.) "It's the integrity of the sport," fellow American Nate Holland told The New York Times. "I'm a snowboarder through and through, and boardercross is a freestyle snow-boarder's race. I think it should stay that way." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
