if snowboarding is in the olympics, then so should snow saucer!! I'd destroy the competition.
Watch it, the next time we host summer olympics in the US there just might be NASCAR.
You obviously didn't watch the halfpipe competition. If mogul downhill (where they simply cross their skiis on a jump) is in the Olympics, then fuckin' 1040 big airs and way cooler shit in a halfpipe can be in the Olympics.
If you haven't tried snowboarding, don't crit it. It fucking rocks. I can't do any of that crazy flying around, but I've tried... and landed on my face enough to respect those kids. (Yeah at 19 they don't get respect for much else!)
I can't believe you are complaining about snowboarding being in the Olympics when there are more obvious targets like "CURLING". I bet you haven't done that either, though.
You can't blame the Olympic committee for trying to attract a younger audience by admitting snowboarding. How much longer 'til Skateboarding is in summer Olympics... I can't wait!
CLUE: Stop being such a hater, dude. Share soem love! I know you gots it in ya!
Jack Daniels, NASCAR, Snow Boarding! NIN, Janes Addiction, I see another FOX channel reality piece some where in there,,,But there would be the difficulty of the hashish.......
P.S. My next door neighbor is in love with the Female US Curling Team! I said I'd even take the fat one!!!! .....OINK!
I HAVE SNOWBOARDED PEOPLE. Look, just because something takes talent does not mean it should be in the olympics. Yes, if snowboarding is in there, then SKATEBOARDING definitely should be because I think that's more difficult. However, I don't think snowboarding should be in there. Even the snowboarders who are IN the olypmics say it shouldn't be, but fuck it - they'll take the medal. I say keep snowboarding in the X-Games. If the olympics are going to go for the younger audience and the requirement for an event is that its hard, then fuck it - bring in video gaming. Bring in hand standing. Bring in bong hits and keg stands. This is the OLYMPICS. Its' been around along time and I'd just like SOMETHING to stay true and respectful and not cave into Network ratings and our sour pop culture tainting fucking everything in the world.
I see your point - and I wasn't saying I agree with them tryign to get more ratings, just that you can't blame them.
I mean, if you want purity you're going to cut out a lot more than you think, like shot-put, that's a Scottish sport that the Olympics took on because it was popular back in the day.
Of course the boarders are going to say snowboarding shouldn't be in the Olympics - they are by nature anti-establishment and having their sport recognized kind of detracts from that. I highly boubt you'll find a boarder who says it shouldn't be in the Olympics because it's too EASY.
If you want the Olympics to stay true then the atheletes should compete naked AND there wouldn't BE any winter Olympics at all.
P.S. - I didn't mean anything against the sport of curling, just using it as an example.
yeah, let's bring the Olympics back to the old school original way!! Naked and lifting boulders and stuff!
I was just about to say what spacejase said
"there wouldn't BE any winter Olympics at all"
if you were staying true to the fact.
But if you ask me the halfpipe and the snowboard cross look 1000% harder than ski jumping. Just my opinion.
Remember Dana Carvey's old man skit on SNL?
"Well, in my day...we didn't have snowboards! We would nail a log to our feet and slide down a slope naked! AND WE LIKED IT!"
Mr. Legs' Olympic wish:
The return of Greko-Roman Wrestling...in the nude. HOT HOT HOT!!!!
wow jim. you really pissed everyone off with that one. never would have thought the SNOWBOARDING one would have done it! LOL
