So the bad weather that pretty much killed big air last night was looming over slopestyle again today.
On that note, did somebody hire a monkey with ADD to button mash the transitions between camera angles/events/stories?
Alex Bellmare crashed final hit, Evan McEachran lost a ski on the takeoff of the final jump.
I’m still in Andorra so I missed the next however many runs for fucking Snowboard Cross.
Goepper had a nuts rail section, up top but was less than clean on the jumps.
Bobby Brown was clean but not particularly remarkable, stock rails and 3 dubs, 82.00.
He did however win at sassing the commentator.
“Are the conditions making it hard to triple?”
“I don’t know, I’m not doing a triple” Walks away.
Gus bobbled his first rail and so didn’t improve.
Henrik again had issues on a couple of rails, he is a fucking ninja though.
Goepper and McRae didn’t do full runs either, end of run 2.
Third Run
Andri bailed out of his third run on the second jump.
Alex Bellemare stomped his hand drag dub 7 but didn’t have the speed to properly wipe the jumps.
Woodsy stomped his 3rd run, same run as before but sloppy.
Gus has some small bobbles on the rails and his usual squeaky clean stylish jumps.
He gets a 87.33, I can only assume the judges missed his early off on the second feature.
Nick Goepper, had a super technical rail line but went down hard on his first jump.
McRae was last to drop, early off the first rail, game over.
Jossi Wells wins his first X-Games gold medal!
The (slightly) more interesting rail set up also contributed.
Apparently you build a course with some different features and lo and behold you get more interesting lines.
Who would have guessed it!
That’s it for X-Games 2016… peace!
