Umm... it kinda is and has been for quite a while now, haha. You cannot postpone these events beyond a few hours and to be honest, I'd rather have an event scrubbed than to have a repeat of Crankworxs last year where the riders had a massive chance of being injured due to inclement weather.
i know it's not easy to organize such an event, but it's verry common in austria that the wheather changes very rapindly especially in this vally. in my opinion the organizers should make a replace scedule in places with unstabil wheather situations.
it was still a nice contest and props to the riders for doing massive jumps in this windy conditions!
as much as it sucks that this event was so windy and then got rained out, it was never going to be one of the year's best events b.c it's right before the first time our sport has ever been in the xgames. i'm surprised some of the top guys threw down as hard as they did
The riders knew it, the announcement was made over the PA repeatedly during morning practice and it's the usual FMB procedure when bad weather is in the forecast.
Look at reynolds' run, clearly new it was going to count otherwise he wouldnt of done that fronty, he was already in the top spot and going to qualify but tried to better hes score as he knew it was going to be his final one
I hope the riders were warned before they had their quali/final run that this might happen... otherwise i am going to feel bad for celebrating 2 more Brit podium places!
yes but that is also what weather reports are for and, well U.S may be better, but here, the weather report is the one thing you can be certain won't happen!
dunno why people like him so much.... whips here whips there 3's here ther yeah boring.. loads of fans on facebook never acknowledges any of them not like the sams or thomas genon... fk him
Haaaaaaaa epic for the Brits. Go big in quali or go cry about it!
To ze German guy saying Pilgrim shouldn't be in the fmb, but should be in a skatepark -
Pilgrim is smashing it, if you're jealous he is winning you should question the judges, they score his runs. Also, chill out.
will we be seeing double cashroll on x-games?? (Antti Rissanen & Szymon Godziek)
otherwise i am going to feel bad for celebrating 2 more Brit podium places!
