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.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THE ANNOUNCING.

I just tuned in and it's ONE guy who knows not an ounce of the sport. Fuck you, NBC. This is a joke.



also, I can only watch a live stream for 30 minutes…?

Not design, just upkeep. You can see GIANT ruts between the jumps.

Logan over Segal?

C'mon, now. Segal's run was pretty solid.

Even the Brits said D-Lo "slightly overcooked" it.

Ok I retract almost all of this, I realized it's just the commentary for the live broadcast and hardly anyone will actually be watching it. Still bummed I only got to watch for 30 min though


and not really sure how that dub post happened

I thought NBC contracted LukeVV and I think I hear him in the background maybe from the stadium announcing? Might be wrong.

rails were on point and that last 2 jump combo was next level compared to the rest. not taking anything away from devins because her shit is so damn smooth regardless. dara definitely deserved that score

What BBC feed are you watching? Not calling it "reverse" on the proper BBC broadcast & feed.
