The Winter X games this year blew. I went on Saturday, and got to say that the judging was rigged. Shaun White won superpipe just for showing up, Kevin Pearce's runs were way better. Teter was screwed on points... X Games and their sponsors had already decided who was going to win before the competition even started this year. They had a favorite athlete in each event that you saw lots of videos about, promos, and the announcers talked about them constantly. I should not know the name Levi Lavalle, the dude didn't do crap in any event. The only two people that lived up to the hype were Simon Dumont and possibly Torah Bright. They need new judges, new format, and less bullshit next year. It also took us 2 hours to get back to the car due to a major bussing clusterfuck. No part of this event went right. Totally agree.

While I am American, I'm an avid snowboarder and followed the X games. It was so clear that Torstein outperformed Travis. It's really disgusting that the X Games would turn into fucking "American Idol: Snowboarding Edition". The X games really fucked up. Anyone who snowboards or even follows snowboarding would have voted for Torstein. Unfortunately, the majority of the audience was just stupid people who don't know shit about snowboarding and who think that "flips are fun". They've all heard of Travis Rice or voted for him just b/c he's american. I don't know. I agree w/ you 100% though the X Games this year are bullshit. Man I feel you.
