they need the handrail at the top and atleast one flat down either box or rail so skiers can do pretzels and shit or huge spins on.

They have TWO BOXES and thats it for jibs? Nice jumps but this isn't a slopestyle course without some legit rails. Everyone and their mother can 450 out of an up box and throw some switchups on a two foot wide trap box.

Couldn't agree more. I myself suck at skiing but could destroy those two first boxes. There should be rails for sure.

I'm really excited for X this year, kickers look good. And even though there's only going to be a couple rails i still think it will be good.

Hope Jon places well, he deserves it after all those Bronzes in past years!

Does anyone else think this is one of the worst things they could ever have on the Xgames course? WTF?

That aside the jumps like primo, finally with some decent length.

haha Jons so goofy..

The step up looks ill though, can't wait to see the big air go down. I would like to see more rails in the slope course, but it is still pretty sweet with the jumps.

yea it's really on the x-games course and yes it will be scary. hopefully i don't crap myself and at least the jumps should be super well built which will take away from some of the scariness.

that would be the best reasoning behind the setup if the comp was made just for spectators. I think it should be the athletes who get the the decision of what to put into the course. Fuck the spectators its about the athletes.
