in reality, it was the most dangerous high budget event i've ever seen, and i felt so sorry for the riders that had to hit the setup. the landing was incredibly short and flat for the size of drop, and riders were injured or shook every time they rode.

im sure no one held a gun to their head and made them hit it.

although i did watch for about 10 minutes im pretty sure I saw about 3 guys go down.

I also saw someone hit that rail, and it was fucking impressive.

Can't wait to see the footage of the comp.

Did some riders land some big tricks on the rail ? I saw some footage of the step down and the raibow thingy but i really want to see if someone hit that rail :O

no, but seeing as their sponsors fronted a good chunk of travel budget, especially this late in the season, and there was a good amount of cash on the line...

It is pretty sketchy.... landing is flat compared to the height of the step down and the rail.

yeah i know what you're saying. but still man, its tremblant, they should have expected some sketchy shit.

plus they are pro snowboarders. They should suck it up a bit. I'd much rather be a pro skier and have to hit some sketchy shit once in a while then do the job im doing now.

"nick, what are your impressions of the contest?"

"i feel like we're being treated like clowns, it's what it seems like. a big crowd, a circus, bright lights, a flat landing"

"and they're juicing you up (redbull) to get you pumped?"

"yeah, pretty much. it's just a big publicity stunt."
