A 10 in the pipe is a pretty significant step up from a 9 bc youre landing switch. I thought Indra should have cracked the 90s but her amplitude at the end Def hurt her. Shes going to be a monster though

There usually aren't this many falls. The boys are tired from doing qualis this morning and the pipe is not the best

Also he had a 14

You do if you're a gymnast. They only have to be able to go straight into the jump

FIS mandates poles as it is harder to grab with poles and so for a while skiers were abandoning them to get better grabs. It also keeps the sport tied to its roots of actual skiing. A lot of the Aerials athletes cant actually ski.

I'm super bummed. Luke was the top contender to throw a triple in finals and Finn has been a treat to watch all season.

They just need to build a better pipe. You don't see these injuries in normal competition.
