Justin Posted November 5, 2011 Report Posted November 5, 2011 not sure how many people care on this board but just read the article today. can't wait to see this in 2014. U.S. team is announced: Tom Wallisch Alex Schlopy Gus Kenworthy Bobby Brown Sammy Carlson real curious to see what other countries teams will be like. so stoked to see freeski slope in the olympics. step in the right direction for sure. http://espn.go.com/action/freeskiing/story/_/id/7186141/us-freeskiing-slopestyle-team-named 2 Quote
toast21602 Posted November 5, 2011 Report Posted November 5, 2011 absolutely awesome. love seeing twall there as well. huge step in the right direction. maybe people will begin to understand that the pocono shuffle isn't the only thing that skiers do. Quote

AngryHugo Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 Wallisch is a bad ass. The fact KT was left off the team is an outright insult! 1 Quote
OutCold Posted November 6, 2011 Report Posted November 6, 2011 I'm really surprised Doug didn't make the cut Quote
AngryHugo Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 I'm really surprised Doug didn't make the cut maybe if one of the events was Hot Dog Eating Contest Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 maybe if one of the events was Hot Dog Eating Contest Or some patented GSS freestyle... Quote
Johnny Law Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Its funny how long this took, shit like 2002 people started working...good to see they have realized the dream. Quote
Justin Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Posted November 7, 2011 Its funny how long this took, shit like 2002 people started working...good to see they have realized the dream. I was surprised snowboard pipe happened before freeskiing.... Quote
Johnny Law Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 I was surprised snowboard pipe happened before freeskiing.... For along time they didn't think they had enough countries involved, essentially it would have been a NA dominated event. Back in the day I was super into this, I thought it could really help skiing. I think now its less important in a strictly American sense as the explosion in this style of skiing has been at least to me very impressive. Quote
Shadows Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 keri herman lol. not sure if anybody knows josh on here - went to umass. he was at a bar one day and keri was there. he sat next to keri and was like "you know you really arent that good" Quote
burton71 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 Hopefully the IOC and FIS don't screw it up to much. Quote

peski28 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 kid is brutally honest. Barliar? Gotta be. Kid is a riot. Quote
Justo8484 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Barliar? Gotta be. Kid is a riot. yup. and in other olympics related news, dumont's off salomon and on head now. maybe his skis will stay on his feet so he doesnt get robbed be a slightly better than average 15 year old now. Quote
Justin Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Posted November 9, 2011 yup. and in other olympics related news, dumont's off salomon and on head now. maybe his skis will stay on his feet so he doesnt get robbed be a slightly better than average 15 year old now. he's a little too short to be 15 Quote
Shadows Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 he came to the stone a few days after x games when he won with a double front. by far the most hated pro in summit county. no one rode the lift with him. Quote
Justo8484 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 he's a little too short to be 15 typo. i meant 'robbed by', not robbed be'. torin did not deserve that win. his run was good, but not x games gold medal good. Quote
mollyskeeze Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 super excited to see this. the us mens team is straight stacked. looks like Grete Eliassen, Keri Herman, Devin Logan, Ashley Battersby and Meg Olenick on the girls side of things. i didnt think grete skied that much park. what the judges do with style should be interesting.

mollyskeeze Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 idk devin logan is pretty good. canada has turski and lamarre on the a team then raymond and warll on the b team... the pickings are super slim for women's skiing. i think raymond is better then kim lamarre. still its dope that its even in the olympics. they probably could have held off on the womens side of things for a few more years because there will be way more pros by the time the next winter Olympics come around.

Shadows Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 all keri jokes aside i did see her try a cork 9 on number 2 at breck. ash was straight laying down cork 5s. like superman cork fives haha. and ash/meg got 7s down at nine knights. i believe turski did to? there were a couple fembots with 7s.
