Olympic Halfpipe

Anyone just watch Olympic halfpipe training?

Finland, Japan, and USA are the strongest teams this year....

I was hoping that the pipe in Torino would have been on a steeper pitch. Not the best pipe I've seen. Regardless, you'll see 3 1080s in one run: regular, to switch to backside. The 4 1080s in one run would be awesome, but no one has that yet.....

Shaun's victory run was killer and some of his airs where insane!

did anyone else feel that some of the Fin's (not including the 3rd place guy) didnt get the scores they deserved?

Agreed!!

Antti began his run with a cab 1080. Insane technical and risky. The problem was that he did not carry his speed into the end of his run, so he lost amplitude points. Amplitude is judged as the average of all hits. His last two hits were only like 6 feet out.

Sean's second toe-side hit on his victory lap (crippler 5), was one of the best hits I have seen. Also...shredding the gnar in an Olympic halfpipe is awesome....

those layback slashes were the most stylish rips of the contest. imo

I could watch that hit over again, definatly one of my fav hits ive ever seen as well!!

and with Autti, his run was killer and then to see his score i was shocked, i saw him ride last years at worlds and its one thing to see this stuff on tv but another to see it rite in front of your face.

i am offically bored with the 1080 after watching the olympics.

Chris Barcellos I concur. I think I saw an interview with shaun white where he said those 1080's and all that stuff is just for t.v.

Hannah Tetter's run was garbage....no style!s Kelly Clark threw down. I think that she has a pair of testicles.

its like a 1080 is a requirement for the olympics, that was rediculous. I love danny kass...
