Kinda disappointed in the slope course it’s pretty much the same as last year. Usually they toss some creative stuff in it.

It just seems like such a generic park. They need to get more creative with it.

Idk about full drinking game but it'd be fun to drink when the announcer says "he's just doing it for the fans" when they botch their run and do steezy grabs and 360s lol

Isn’t it an Olympic qualifier and like the first time it’s been an Olympic qualifier? Could help explain genericness of it given they’ve done shark fins and stuff in the past

It is not an olympic qualifier, that stuff has already been decided.

Would love some drinking game rules if anyone has ideas! The homies are doing our own version of X Games on hill tomorrow.

4 Disciplines: Big Air, Slope (rails), Knuckle Huck, and Pipe/Quarter/Hip

Everyone makes a list of a personal NBD trick for each feature. If you land the trick you can hand out a shot or shotgun to another homie. If you don't land the trick by the end of the day you receive a shot or shotgun for that trick. Pretty straightforward, hopefully it gets all the boys chucking roast

The pass itself is easy to get, but you're pretty limited and you can only film practice.

Yeah I know but it sucks when the guy making the event the most fun “literally switching boards mid comp and using another competitor as a diving board) misses out. I’m not mad just kinda bummed since he was actually making the comp even more entertainment than it already is

I found the overall best impression scoring to be a terrible way to do halfpipe. I don't think Ayumu would've had any trouble wiping the floor if it were normal one run scoring, obviously it wasn't and it went another way, but I'd still argue he could've taken the W even with falling on two runs. Best impression just doesn't seem to be a good fit for halfpipe imo

Dub 16 was tight, Hudak's math was pretty loose.

Superpipe wasn't as exciting as our game of Scrabble but Brita went big.
