I have a pair of snowboard pants that look like jeans and they were only $50. The original price on them was like $220, though.

those pants were from the AK Burton line i believe so they are most likely 500$+
that run was rediculous, i can't even comprehend double cork 1080, i've 540 like a foot out of our 11 foot halfpipe at our resorts here and i felt like my whole life was flashing before me. and he's about 15 feet out of a pipe that has sidewalls twice that size.

The prices on the AK stuff are ridiculous. They're expensive even after the huge discounts on brociety.

amen to that brother, but i can't blame them for charging it due to snowboarding be a richass white boy sport (in case you didn't get the memo haha)
you can buy a decent used vehicle for how much you can spend on a complete snowboarding equipment set

amen pt. 2. i looked at all of the tags for the stuff that my radio station snow team is on and my whole setup is easily $1k. absurd, and this is all reasonably priced.

Edit?
I've seen it on TV but I wasn't really paying attention.
shaun's run was incredible. the height he was doing his double corks was higher than the other riders straight airs, and i can't believe he went for the double mctwist after he messed up his set up trick for it. he didn't have enought speed but somehow managed to whip it out.
was the mens snowboard team's uniform supposed to represent americas traditional blue collar style with the red plaid flannel looking jacket and the blue jeans?

That was crazy. I always thought that he was just some jerkoff credit card commercial star.
wow that was absolutely unbelievable. must have felt like a million bucks at the end of that run
fuck that, stupid spin to win tricks
but really - incredible, hes the best
i would much rather see some steezy melon grabs than that shit. do you really think it takes any kind of control to fly 20 feet into the air and flip around like 4 times? nigga please

Its not a finesse competition. Its about balls. Nobody else had the balls (or massive endorsements to fund private training facilities) to do it
Its the God damn Olympics, not some hokey shit where you can finesse your way to the top. Next level shit only. In 4 years I wanna see rocket boosters on the fucking snowboards, and 60 foot airs. Take your lame melon grabs elsewhere.

you have to do 1 straight air in your run to show the judges you have control and style

meh. women's pipe is usually a bit of a letdown. they just don't go that high because they drop in from like a foot away and they don't grab and aghh
though torah bright does kick ass. if and when she starts stomping double corks its gonna be epic

I met Torah Bright working at Best Buy in Carson City, NV which is like 45 minutes from Tahoe. I saw her just before and just after the last winter olympics and I remember the second time I saw her come into my store I told her she got robbed at the olympics, no other bitches were lacing back 3's on their first wall clean as fuck like Torah does. She actually has style, love watching her ride.
She is really short and really cute in person too, the accent alone gave me a half chub.
