some people are just in denial. you know, tanner just podiumed at the x-games superpipe this year... that must mean that he sucks at halfpipe right?
silly kids, brains are for... shit, i don't know how to finish that without it sounding dumb.
and forget about skiing for a second - who do you guys think is gonna win the overall title? I'm saying europe is gonna take the whole thing in the end.

Asia guys will probably be like all arial, usually japan guys do like triple backs and shit... but Europe looks mad stacked... im still hoping USA takes gold, tanners the man, and cr doesnt have much style but has technical tricks, but yet again, jon and candide...

yeah i definetely say C.R.'s 1260 and 1440 in the pipe is technical, but i dont understand why kristi leskinen is not the U.S.A's susperpie girls and how Kim stacy a pro snowboarder is!

CR posted the highest superpipe score ever in qualifying for the X games. If he can land his tricks he has a pretty good chance.

let's remember it's not all about who's best in single events! canada's team is all round pretty good even if we don't have the best people for a single event!
i definately think canada is gonna take this one!
