I don’t understand at all why they have people commentating who know nothing about skiing/snowboarding. It’s honestly embarrassing like what other sports broadcast would do anything like that?!

X games commentators should be mandated to smoke piffs pre-broadcast. Would improve commentary tenfold

Who are you referring to? Snowboarding is Craig mcmorris and skiing is Wallisch and Maggie, they all certainly know a lot about their respective sport.

ESPN doesn't run xgames anymore, it's run by a different company and ESPN simply licences it to run on TV.

Everyone complains about the 2nd guy in the booth but most don't understand that said person is the leader of the duo, they need someone who is experience to speak proficiently, follow a script, wont miss any sponsors reads or anything and can send to break, come back from break, improvise in a pinch, etc

you cant just toss two skiers in the booth on a xgames production.
