Olympics _ Big Air

[Vaughn]

I really hadn't collectively thought about it until this thread, but it really is getting somewhat farcical with these "sports". I think the IOC may have jumped-the-shark with this Big Air thing. I dont see how it's appreciably any different than one large slopestyle hit.

They may as well make snowmobile racing an Olympic sport, it's far more credible than Big Air, IMO.

Yeah, I'd much rather see a Super G on snowboards than Big Air. Totally different skill set that most of what is being used in these competitions.

They should bring back skijoring, sled-dog racing, synchronized skating, and snowshoeing. Definitely snowshoeing.

I'd like to see showshoeing for sure. Not a fan of bringing along animal events, then we'd have dog-doping to contend with.

I'd rather see that too. And why isn't snowboard downhill a thing?

There should totally be a downhill. Are they getting rid of the slalom? I think the slalom is awesome.

Ski-joring, I had no idea this was once (almost) an Olympic sport. Saw it in person on a ski trip in Whitefish, totally awesome and should be in the Olympics.

I'll see your Ski-joring and raise the stakes a bit: http://www.arcticman.com/about-the-race
