WHY DO THEY NOT DO THIS!?
it would give a chance to win for guys that don't just throw dub 12 mutes
maybe even andy parry could get into the x games and show some creativity as well as some other guys like b dog, Max Hill, Cole Drexler, and Will Wesson.

sorry
what i meant when i said b dog is that he would have a better chance of winning because there would be no feature to huck a dub 12 off of

i was watching before the pipe they had a 'street' jam. they had a dfd handrail double set, a down rail and a box. it was the first year that they had this for snowboarding. it was like a 20 minute rail jam or something. i hope they get it for skiing next year. they probably will, so look out for it.

There was a USASA rail jam (which is what the thread was about) which was just some between event entertainment, and there was snowboard street, an acual event.

This is now a petition thread. Please raise your hand and say "aye" if you want this next year. The voice of NS will be heard!

if they did a rail jam it would have to be a big deal. im thinking 2 options per hit, with about 4 hits in a row. pretty much a mini slopestyle without the jumps. would also give them a chance to put some longer rails in there which would allow for switch ups.

I don't think it would rate very well with the non-skiing community as its not as visually spectacular to them as the other events.

But I would love to see this

the snowboard real street comp or whatever they called it was possibly the most boring thing i watched out of all the xgames coverage. it conveyed none of the excitement or adrenaline of an actual rail jam. one person at a time, wait til the whole area is clear, then get a sled back up to the top? they're athletes, make them work for it. think rails to riches, with a bigger set up and top skiers instead of open registration. as soon as someone lands, the next person should be dropping, no lull in the action, and make them hike back up. you shouldn't need a sled for a rail jam.

I agree. Take out the stupid "Best method" contest and put in a rail jam.

Sal Masakela: "And here comes Andy Parry with a HIPPY KILLER!!!! Let's see that one innnnnn MEEEGAAA-MOOOOOO!

Mike Douglas: "Andy is sure bringing all he's got on this rail sliding feature but it just might not be enough in the end as he is in the outside looking in, in a sense you could call his attempt at ski tap direction change an equivalent of Bobby Brown's Switch Misty 1440 last year, which leaves us to wonder if he'll top it this year, will there be a triple, we might see a tirple it could happen ladies and gentlemen, and will there be a full five rotations, the infamous 1800...well let's measure the rail again to see that, yes... it is exactly 16 feet. We'll see you after these messages.

i'm just saying it'll be better than x games...
maybe i'm just the only one that thinks the dew tour is the lesser of the two evils?

haha that was pretty sweet. i was also pretty impressed with kier dillons ability to fuck up snowboard trick names, considering he snowboarded professionally for so long.

yeah i hate watching him ski. his style is so robotic and boring and he does the same tricks that everyone else does. id much rather watch someone like elias ambuhl ski, his style is really unique.

I think they don't do it because they wanna showcase the best in the world and to many, to be the best you've gotta be able to do it all. That includes a dub 12 and rails all in the same run. Just my 2 cents
