Did ESPN drop the ball this year?

I was looking at what I taped last X-Games.  It seems like they showed more skiers and there runs.  Here like many people have said already, they only showed the big names like Dumont and Tanner.  To me it seems like it was ESPN that we should be looking at, now the skiers and we ned to stop hating on them.  I think that if they are going to make an event and air it, they need to show the whole event.  When baseball of football is on, they dont just show the best breaking runs or the best touchdown throws.  I dunno, I just think that ESPN dropped the ball this X-Games.

They played every bit of that snowmobile shit and then skipped out on alot of the superpipe runs, not fair A and B just plain stupid.  I bet more people come and watch the pipe than the speed and style crap.  Anyways, the snowmobilers all do that same backflip and its really repetitive to watch.

Yeah the snowmobile bacflip is so played out. Sure it was cool in the beginning...but now that have a jump in the race that they expect these guys to throw the backflip and maybe something cool with it. Deff over-rated.

so true, the entire 'speed and style' homofest was aired, but only 4 or 5 skiers. it felt like 1 hr 45 min of snowmobile and 15 minutes of skiing.

wtf are you talking about? I live in ohio...if I wanted to take a trip out west I wouldn't go on a crowded weekend and spend my time watching someone else ski.  I was just saying that until more people are interested in skiing there's prob not going to be better coverage.  Thanks for being a dick though.

ESPN really sucked it up this year. I mean they didn't even show the winning runr replay at the end. But whatever, the only people who care are the people makin' money.

Why the hell do they host the event if they aren't going to show it?

What the fuck?
