It’s not cheap that’s for sure, I did two jobs to save for the first time I went and managed to get second hand gear from various people. It was well worth it though. ---

All I can think of when I see snowboarding in the Olympics is “What would Cardiel do?” The guy can talk too. He turned pro for a snowboard brand once. ---

Imagine the steez on Cardiel if he got into curling. Hucking it with one wrist tweaked backwards, sliding down the ice run with the confidence of a god. Sweeping so hard the surface would melt. Slamming really badly all over the place, the whole arena going “ooooffffff” ---

sought out the cardiel snowboarding clips and he’s just as majestic doing that. naturally that led onto sight unseen and he’s 360ing a bike over some dirt jumps at the start. one of a kind ---

I’m pretty sure Steve Cabellero was one of the most influencial snowboarders ever too. ---

Snowboarding halfpipe day. Womens qualifications in a few minutes. Mens at 6.30. Should see some biiiiiiiiig methods in this. The difference in just over 20 years is pretty funny [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/ijcHoLWi2wo/maxresdefault.jpg "The Last Seven Men's Halfpipe Gold Medallists 🏂🥇 | Olympic History in Snowboarding | Top Moments") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijcHoLWi2wo) ---

Maybe in big air. There’s a bit more freedom in half pipe. The winning run in the last Olympics in that video above is just full computer game madness. You have to respect it. A chinese girl took a horrific slam earlier. Caught an edge at the bottom and folded her spine in half. Was gross and I hope she’s ok. ---

Watched that live ^^^ probably the best thing I’ve seen so far. Moguls is fine to watch for about 5 minutes every 4 years but I can’t imagine how dull it is to watch it more than that. They’re all doing exactly the same thing, exactly as good as each other (although I guess you could level that at almost every Olympic sport) British bloke in first after run 1 of the skeleton. IOC have banned a Ukrainian minutes before he was about to start for having a rememberance helmet. Took his accreditation away too so he has tl leave all the back stage areas. Rambling post while I wait for run 2 of the skeleton and avoid making powerpoints. ---

British guy fucking smashed it on his second run. Set up beautifully for a 4th run fuck up to finish 4th. [Previous page](https://ukskateforum.co.uk/t/winter-olympics/2624.md?page=6) [Next page](https://ukskateforum.co.uk/t/winter-olympics/2624.md?page=8)
