badmigraine 0 Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 What about the alpine boarders...the racers I mean? This is just the halfpipe crew! In the future, I expect snowboard moguls, nordic-style snowboard, snowboard jumping and even snowboard biathlon will be included. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 No-one over 5'9 (1m75cm) ! Terje's 5'9" too, and I think Jussi Oksanen's a bit shorter. Only Ross Powers is over 145lb (65 kg) ! A sport for the little guys it seems. Must be easier for them to do the spins. In that Big Air contest at Tokyo Dome, Shaun White was riding a 156 Custom, so he must have some power to get enough flex with his 115 lb frame. He must be 15kg under the recommended range for the board. It's not as if he's riding pow either. How about a snowboard biathlon with a sharpened boomerang ? Or Ninja throwing stars ? Or a blowpipe ? Rifles seem too old skool for snowboarding. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 The only thing you'd be able to hit anything with while standing up on a snowboard is a rocket propelled grenade. Prone would be a different story though. Link to post Share on other sites
ollie 0 Posted February 9, 2002 Author Share Posted February 9, 2002 who do you think will take the gold in halfpipe? Do you think S. White will medal? Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted February 10, 2002 Share Posted February 10, 2002 Looks like the last place in the US team went to JJ Thomas, not Shaun White. That's what it said at www.saltlake2002.com [This message has been edited by NoFakie (edited 10 February 2002).] Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 weddlez you weasel you, no I'm not! Well, sort of not. My missus likes to see them so I sometimes cop a peek. She's already tired of me saying 'Christ I HATE the Olympics!' My four year old and I had a good time imitating those Injuns at the opening ceremony - did anybody catch what they said in that extinct language of theirs? Wasn't it moving? I might watch the snowboarding. I wonder if they can have somebody from the local Nagano news-station do the narration and slip in a few slurs about how new and dangerous it all is. How's Britain doing? Are we winning? Link to post Share on other sites
