that course looks so funky. The first pic of that step down... oh man. Looks like everything is out of proportion. Who designed that thing?

This is just a fucking joke.

How do they expect everyone that has traveled from the US (especially) to compete on that?

i still cant figure out the last feature. its like they want you to gap to the roller then wallride and come back down the roller. cause if you go over the "wallride" its 20 foot drop to flat, then another down transition another 10 feet away. i just dont get it. the other option is if someone somehow came cooking into the feature and clear the roller and the wallride and the 10 feet of flat, and the 20 foot drop. all the way to the transition after that. it would be impossible since thats probably a good 60 feet if not more and the little tiny lip couldnt launch you that far. fis, you suck.

Is this actually a piss take and the real course is a valley over or something? I cant seriously believe the fis guys got to the course and were like "this is a good course for the world cup, with top level riders from around the world" when was the last time they wacthed any freeskiing 2001?
