I am watching the Women’s Half-pipe…not sure the specific event, if this isn’t it. I think I read that they made the top of the half-pipe 22ft which, according to this article on ESPN online, Riders still rock halfpipe despite Pearce injury, is 25% higher than at the last Olympics.
As I watch this, women are crashing all over the place…they can’t get enough air. To “air” is human? Just saw some shots from the Turino Olympics in 2006. The pipe was not that fat or tall but they were getting some serious air there compared to Vancouver.
Some woman just wiped out horribly and is walking away from it smiling. I can’t watch this anymore. And they just keep wiping out. The top of the pipe is too high. The limits are being pushed by the IOC and people are getting hurt and killed Damn, just watched some woman tear it up …USA..Kelly Clark…awesome she was.
Butt they just keep wiping out…
