Probably about as pumped as I've ever been for a women's slope event.

Will the jumps be too big? Will Lisa toss a dub? What will go down, who's gonna win?

On tonight/early tomorrow morning. Finals 1 am - 2 am CBC, qualis earlier then that.

How the fuck did Yuki not beat devin. Actually had a rail game. Did solid cork 9 on last jump.

the commentators are killing me, calling 9's 5's. Lisa also only chick throwing down hard on rails and jumps but won't even move onto the finals.

I just said almost this exact same thing to my roommate haha. Coincidentally, Lisa would probably benefit from some mogul training. She looks like she barely knows how to ski...

Clearly lisa didn't get much by going to school instead of x-games... I have no idea why she just didn't try to put down a decent run that she can actually land to get into finals. Poor strategy

She keeps grabbing her knee after she's done, she has to be hurt or something and is just participating for the experience?

paraguay spot filler aswell...


personally i dont think you should be able to compete for your country in that case.


you cant represent a country youve only lived in for the first 6 months of your life before being adopted out. cheap ticket to the olympics.

Should't you be able to make it down the run in order to be at the Olympics? That one chick skipped both of the last features. Also that russian with the dub front so unexpected haha
