How about some fucking

SLOPESTYLE

Also trololol Shaun White withdrew from the Slopestyle competition.

Probably pissed himself when Parrot landed the back to back triple corks.

And for anyone that wants to see what pure pain looks like in both full speed and slow motion;

Too many events.

More importantly, why aren't they being broadcasted? I have nothing from Sochi on my TiVo yet and I set it to record everything.

Shhhh

Majiffy · Post Post #35 (isolation #5) » Thu Feb 06, 2014 2:21 pm

Also IIRC this has been going on for a while, having events before the official opening.

Majiffy · Post Post #47 (isolation #6) » Fri Feb 07, 2014 3:27 pm

Can someone explain to me why the only one who even bothered trying to pull the triple cork in qualifiers was Parrot?

Majiffy · Post Post #48 (isolation #7) » Fri Feb 07, 2014 3:27 pm

Also I never realized how kind of awesome singles figure skating is.

Speaking of uniforms, I saw (I think snowboard?) a patch-style worn-US-flag type of jacket that I really want.

Also I love the amount of minor key classical compositions in figure skating. So much Chopin, so hard.

It's called Shuffleboard.

Yeah that was pretty nuts.

Wait do you mean in Curling or Hockey?

Yeah that was pretty crazy.

I like my description of women's curling: hot soccer moms and their 20-something daughters.

It's ok, I only watch it when it happens to be on in the break room at work.

You’re not missing much with how bad the US has been so far...

It's cool I recorded 5 programmes with "Snowboarding" in the description and LOL NOT A SINGLE IMAGE OF A SNOWBOARD IN ANY OF THE PROGRAMMES.

WHAT IS THIS SHIT

The X-Games is better at this than the Olympics that's just absurd.

I missed all the fucking slopestyle already. Because someone can't get their shit together.

Guess I'm done watching the Olympics already. Fucking bollocks.

Majiffy · Post Post #198 (isolation #26) » Sun Feb 11, 2018 1:50 pm

Can't even describe how pissed I am slopestyle is so fucking good and I can't even find videos of it ON NBC'S FUCKING WEBSITE.

OR YOUTUBE.

FUCKING

PISSED

INCOMPETENCE

Majiffy · Post Post #204 (isolation #28) » Mon Feb 12, 2018 4:04 am

What this is the coolest Slopestyle course I've seen so far. Two sets for rails, and the first major jump has two curved options to pull early doublecorks!

Majiffy · Post Post #206 (isolation #29) » Mon Feb 12, 2018 6:16 am

That sucks. Given that the women's slopestyle got postponed it was probably in part to poor conditions.

Usually it's a good show.

I'm in Vail during the US Open for snowboarding (slopestyle), about two weeks after the olympics and I may wander over to watch it in person. The halfpipe bores me though.

Yeah halfpipe is my least favorite boarding event.

This is true. I don't think I've seen a triplecork or a 1440 rotation in women's slope yet. Maybe on halfpipe?

But I think gold at Sochi was a 1260 doublecork on the last hill?

In post 231, zoraster wrote:I think "years" is a really weird way to look at it.

I have no problem watching women's snowboarding.

I honestly prefer women's snowboarding because there's more variety and scores are based a lot heavier on clean landings.

Way too many hand drag landings in halfpipe men's that made qualifiers while cleaner more stylistic runs barely made it into the teens.

I think the lack of focus on variety and hitting clean is killing men's pipe and to an extent slopestyle as well. But, I haven't seen the men's pipe final yet and missed most of men's slope this year because NBC can't get their shit together.
