Olympic Men's Snowboard Cross Thread

EVENT STARTS IN 15 BINGS! GET HYPE!

Snowboard Cross, also known as Boardercross, is a racing event. There's no tricks, judges, or scores here. Just 4 riders bombing the hill at maximum speed, and the first one to the finish line wins.

VIRTUAL TOUR OF THE COURSE:

(mute the sound, the music is terrible)

There is a fork in the course, the left path is used for Ski Cross (the skiing version of Snowboard Cross). Snowboarders will be using the right path.

Fun fact: Boardercross was invented in 1991 by Steven Rechtschaffner, who later created the SSX series of video games based on the sport with Electronic Arts. It became an Olympic event in 2006.

Do they crash a lot? Only reason to watch Winter Olympics is for the crashes.

first for best event

Is this the event where the Americans dominate and then crash while showboating?

>that first drop
o-ok

Yeah, bogpill us on it.

And for CHLOE

yes.
intentional contact with other riders is a disqualification though.

What the fuck, for real? Dope shit.

Do they get speed boosts if they land tricks?

is there two paths to take or something?

4 HOURS STRAIGHT OF BALLS TO THE WALL RACING

GET COMFY LADS WE'RE GONNA BE HERE FOR

>17
>Asian girl

Ehhhh.

She's a star tho

no. read the OP. the left path is for Ski Cross only.
haha nah, but it's basically real life SSX except minus the tricks.

I know this is bait but she's too old

God damn it, I don't own enough monitors for the amount of events I want to watch all at once.
I guess I could phone post to make room but I would feel dirty doing that...

FAVORITE EVENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CANNOT WAIT

any streams for this kino?

this tbqh. was cute a few years ago

just do it, who cares.
or quit watching something else to make room.
Snowboard Cross is the best event.

>not phoneposting in 2018
Get with the times grandpa
CBC + vpn

Chloe looked older back then. This bitch is like Benjamin Button

Snowboard Cross looks fucking ridiculous. Guess I'll give up Giant Slalom, don't need 2 racing events at once. Not giving up Curling though, too many qts.

no, look closely at her face. bone structure especially. looks way older now

FUCK OFF WITH THE CHLOEPOSTING
THIS IS RACING

Will someone try spinning? That's a neat trick.

She looks better now
Her cheekbones became more womanly and her skin cleared up

She's the perfect asianfu
Sorry user

Are the streams not up or is it just me?

>canadian already chickened out

VPNing to Canada, the CBC stream JUST started.

its already started on CBC

which BBC channel?

Wait, I thought Snowboard Cross was a race, not a time trial.

youtube.com/watch?v=l-O5IHVhWj0

this is the seeding round.
they do time trials to determine the seeding order for the heat races.

So does America have any heavy hitters in this category?

>that pixelated CBC stream for a sec

Do I bother to watch the seeding runs or should I come back later?

I'm watching the entire 4 hour event

Yeah, millions of them.

I see. So the races start in 2.5 bongs, judging from the schedule. Do I have that right?

M U R D E R C R O S S

Dude, its snowboarding, of course we do. We probably have too many competitors even.

>4 HOUR EVENT
GET HYPE
Who's gonna take it lads?

>The slavs still haven't posted their Match Arena streams

Is it conceivable that we could win literally every snowboarding event?

there's no Chloe Kim or Shaun White in this event. the competition is more even.

I mean i'm hoping for AUS, but realistically i'd imagine it would be the USA.

disagree, younger = qter

Why does only that one turn sound like a jet engine?

>who later created the SSX series of video games based on the sport with Electronic Arts.

Man I miss play SSX3

I could see a European athlete taking gold.
Maybe silver, too.

HIIIIIGHWAAAAY TO THE DANGER ZONE

I'm so triggered by that drop before the starting line and the course I feel like someone is going to die

Use VPN and watch the Canadian
