Post subject: | X Games Olympians! |
These fuckers have fun. They understand the Olympic ideal. There's no crying in Slopestyle! They fall down, they get back up and try to do better next time. When they don't win gold, they congratulate the guy who did and tell him how gnarly his run was. Fuck Bob Costas. These are real sports with true sportsmanship. The one guy didn't even need to make his last run, but he did anyway because he enjoys that shit. That's as opposed to these people in the traditional sports who, by the time they get to the Olympics, look like they'd rather be anywhere else in the world and probably hate their sport, their parents, and their coaches. Crying like little bitches when they get bronze. Extra Shoutout to Henrik Harlaut. Awesome big pants, dude! All you need is a pacifier, a couple glow sticks, and a hit of E and you're ready for the afterparty. You may not have medalled, but MDMA will have you feelin' like a champion! |

I don't like the x game stuff. I think it's boring. I wish they switch gymnastics or basketball to winter sports. |

Let us make sure to not include Mr Big Time Shaun White. He has become a corporate dickbag and needs to take his board and go home. Tony Hawk remained cool while again and acquiring mass wealth. |

There isnt one kid there who doesnt ask exactly which stickers go where, who paid for the top to the helmet, who paid for the side of the helmet. I think they are all fake. But, as an X gamer it's not cool to show that you are pissed off...dude...you just try your best and smile, then root for the other kid,.,. being an x gamer is being the anti bully factor. You are going to tell me you work your ass off for 4 years and know you can do this shit and then wipe out, and you arent pissed off????? Come on! WHO YOU CRAPPING! I am a long time X games proponent as well. The biggest celeb of the X games will be the guy who shows up with a sno or skate board, that has stickers on it from the 1989, because he bought it at a Garage sale! That will be your next big star in that sport. None of it is about winning, its about doing some cool tricks and smiling and saying nice stuff. |

I think it helps that pretty much all of them are pretty rich. They lose, and then go home and then continue to travel the world getting paid huge amounts of money in sponsorship and prize money. If you lose in the Skeleton or Ski Jumping what do you really do? |

First part spot on. Second part...does someone who wins a gold in skeleton or ski jumping see a huge windfall after doing so? |

Being they cant wear the stickers, I am sure they get a bonus and they do a commercial if they win a gold, but it isnt that big of a deal to the sponsor. Now, if they do a triple lindy and lose, thats a bigger deal |

Gold is worth $25,000 so not really.I was more referring to how this is basically all they have. Life goes on for the others easier because they have a lot more going for them. My guess is a lot of these Olympic athletes are going back to selling insurance. |

Getting paid is great. Shaun White has taken on the Rick Vaughn ML2 role though. You NEVER cut your hair and change to skinny jeans. Who the hell does he think he is??? Batista? |

As long as the mellow is all good, they get paid, nice teeths, good smile, need a name like Sage, long hair, etc. then show up for the promotions of the product at about 10 hills and 15 competitions. Of course they dont give a shit about the olympics why would they? Give me the USA Hockey team. These guys dont need this shit, but they played their asses off v Russia, thats some real competition, these guys dont want to lose to the other Russia NHL players. This is some shit. You dont see Kessler saying "If I don't win, that's all good and cool, I am just here to represent my country and have a great time. This has been awesome" |

I think I will create some competition that can only be played by 25 people world wide due to cost and time. I will see if I can get it certifiedad a sport by the Olympic committee |

If you lose in the Skeleton or Ski Jumping what do you really do? makes it much easier to not care...when the money is already in the bank.... But yet, some think they are just that cool, that they dont care if they win... If it was the real Olympics of real AMATEUR status and they know the only way the ad dollars come in is if they win, I have a feeling the "Oh I hope everyone does well" is out the door! |

That snowboard cross is pretty boss. Alex Deibold's display of raw emotion upon winning the bronze was quite a sight. |

I would love to see the snowball-fighting made into an Olympic sport, even if it does venture perilously close to sanctioned bullying. Competitive igloo-building would also be interesting. Twenty years from now Survivor will probably be in the Summer Olympics. |
