[QUOTE=molds13;157014]I don't like the denim snowboard pants. I think they look ridiculous.[/QUOTE]
I was looking at those, haha.
I was trying to figure out if he was wearing ski pants or if those were jeans.
Don't worry, by this time next year the slopes will be filled with denim snow pants...
Not saying it is a good thing, just that it will happen. ;)

Haha, when I was looking for new pants I saw those last year. Right away I was wondering who came up with those. They look absurd. I would never buy them. Plus, they feel weird.
Ah, I'd love to see Louie Vito step it up and win a medal. He's had such a great year and this would be a great cap.
And an American sweep would be awesome!
My step dad is Canadian...and earlier today I got a half hour lecture (while watching curling) on how the Olympics are being diluted with American friendly sports. :D
*cough* [I]snowboarding[/I] *cough*
[QUOTE=Bacchus;157026]It would be nice, but maybe too much to hope for....
That is an awesome course, btw. At night, it just looks sweet from the air.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, probably. But I can dream, right? :D
I wonder if Shaun White is going to pull off the "sick" trick everyone's talking about if he's still in the lead come his second run...
Holy ****! Did you see the difference between that dude in the pink pants and Shaun White's air? That's insane!!! He had to have gotten at [I]least[/I] 21 feet.

Vito is up. I have my fingers crossed.
I think he is going to pull it out no matter his position. He is not going to leave anything in the bag!
[QUOTE=Bacchus;157036]Vito didn't look impressive, but that last trick was awesome. You'd think he would have been rewarded.[/QUOTE]
His straight air totally screwed him. If that was solid, he would've been up for sure. But the 1260 was sick.
I'm surprised they scored the Finnish guy that high.
Molds...I was not paying attention earlier and don't fully understand the format...can White win the gold with his current position and just have a free run? Pull out an absolutely insane trick for show?

He just did :D
It's the best of 2. They score the best run. No one was able to beat him...
And they just said **** on NBC. Gotta love live television!!
[QUOTE=Bacchus;157051]They gave him a 48.4...ouch. And he was just having fun![/QUOTE]
Seriously...
I'm gonna give that double McTwist 1260 a go when I'm boarding next month :D You guys will be the first to see my X-Rays!!
I know it is a surprise that Julia took silver in the downhill, but she is a gold medal Olympian in Giant Slalom and they seem to fly over that fact in accolades for the predetermined hero, Vonn (although I am happy for her.)
Just saying.
That aside, Julia Mancuso was very gracious as was Vonn in that interview that took place like 8 hours ago...
