Ouch! So many falls.

 

[GhostWriter24]

WOW. Finals separates the men from the boys...

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Is it the ramps or is it just a chokefest?

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

That's like the Cool Runnings ending except sad and no applause

 

[DrEvil]

Well. On the other hand. All these competitors are better than Shaun White. What a little puss he is for not competing.

 

[Heel]

Do I hear a Russian rapping over Ice Ice Baby in the background? lol

 

[BigJonsson]

So close....

 

[Yondy604]

fuck

 

[Madness]

Well. On the other hand. All these competitors are better than Shaun White. What a little puss he is for not competing.

Would've done so much for exposure. It's like Michael Phelps or Usain Bolt boycotting some inaugural event.

 

[The Last Emperor]

Canadaaaaaa

 

[zroid]

aaw man, that last jump's killing us

 

[criesofthepast]

Shiiiiiiit. Looked like he ran out of speed or something.

 

[Jamie OD]

Aghhh so close!

 

[DrEvil]

Did he bum touch?

 

[Peru]

Would've done so much for exposure. It's like Michael Phelps or Usain Bolt boycotting some inaugural event.

Not really. He wouldn't have won this.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Ouch.
This is just so sad.

 

[shadowkat]

So close. D:

 

[Pkaz01]

that was looking really good too what a shame

 

[MeBecomingI]

Damn!

 

[Branduil]

So many falls.

 

[GhostWriter24]

Ommgggg so close!

 

[criesofthepast]

Hand it to the Americans they always show up at the Olympics. The favorites and underdogs always seem to pull through for them.

 

[Kazerei]

Christ. These guys all had amazing scores in the qualifiers, like high 80s at the minimum.

 

[BravestOrphan]

The whole crowd was inhaling at the last jump

 

[zroid]

This sport is unforgiving as all hell

 

[Heel]

Fear not Canadians, the Parrot comin'.

 

[DrEvil]

Sven done goofed on the rails tho

 

[BigJonsson]

That was good despite the mistake at the top

 

[Yondy604]

thats a bronze or silver

 

[criesofthepast]

In my opinion that run was better than Mark but what the fuck do I know about judging. Lol

 

[TheAbsolution]

Great run right there!

 

[bjaelke]

Heja Sverige

 

[shadowkat]

This sport is unforgiving as all hell

No kidding.

 

[Balehead]

That was great.

 

[naku]

Wow that was a great run by the Swede. I like how the final is not all about the judges but also the guys failing.

 

[Kazerei]

Now THIS is more like it

 

[Pkaz01]

he recovered so well from that

 

[Madness]

Not really. He wouldn't have won this.

It's not so much the "winning", it's like honestly the face of snowboarding especially at the Olympics not choosing to compete in this inaugural event. A guy like Travis Rice does a lot more for snowboarding, but you can't deny the "flying tomato" puts butts in the seats.

 

[DrEvil]

Future years they should require the bottom of the board to be their country's flag.

 

[Yondy604]

nice! mark still silver

 

[The Last Emperor]

Mcmorrissssss

 

[lazybones18]

87.5
Yes!

 

[Peru]

Judges picky on small errors.

 

[Yondy604]

silver

 

[shadowkat]

That looked good.

 

[zroid]

that looked real good

 

[Juicy Bob]

"That was liquid snowboarding." - LOL

 

[TheAbsolution]

That looked damn good.

 

[Madness]

Pretty great, damn, last few riders starting to step it up.

 

[Buba Big Guns]

That Swedish dude nailed his run. Surprised he's 3rd. Id be happy with a silver for CAN
