That is acually sometimes a problem for Jon, because alot of the points are based on amplitude+difficulty=Gnarly, and Jon Dosn't portray Gnarly very often because he is a robot

....and in snowboarding they said one kids run would score lower cuz it was earlier and the judges had to get warmed up.

If it was about amplitude and not style, Dumont should have won, even if it was about amplitude and style, Dumont should have one.

when jon is skiing and he makes it look so easy that should tell the judges that hes that much better. getting points deducted for looking like your not trying is possibly the dumbest shit i have ever heard

i dont think jon deserve to win but he definately deserved a better score than what they gave him. i agree that he should get more for making it look so easy

i say bitching at them proves very little, dominating their polls and being active on their forums is how to do it, show them how the sport can actually be marketable, and bitching isnt the way to do it.

seriously
it takes more talent to make it look easy then not. i agree with subjekt on the whole fucking the xgames stuff. good plan team.

what really bothered me is when the annoncers kept saying backwards instead of switch god that was frustrating
