 That was incredible! Every single competitor brought her A-game and I could tell that it's only up from here - getting the nerves out for this first event will set them up for Cairns (Buchanan has thrown backflips and frontflips before). The only downside was not getting to see Patricia Druwen and I hope that changes very soon.

 Was so emotional to see! I can't imagine the nerves dropping in. I loved Haz and Robin's pure enthusiasm and stoke for each other and just party training down for Run 2. And loved seeing the other girls best themselves from Run 1 to Run 2. I can't wait to see the progression throughout the season and beyond!

 Natasha Miller, straight out of Coquitlam! Nice work Girl.

 NATASHA GOT ROBBED!!!

(I've got nothing but we have to do this, right?)

 I hadn't grasped she was from Coquitlam until the broadcast. My heart swelled with pride, even though I'm from the City of Vancouver. Speaking of which I talked to Mia Moore at the recent Bike Show. She is so amped for Crankworx Whistler.

 She had such sick style and those bars on lock! If she can learn flips she will for sure be in contention for the top spot! Epic

 @brance: tbf i def had her above Caroline
  • 7 0
 @brance: I dunno man. I feel like her run was better than Buchanan's. Buchanan lost speed and cased a jump.
Natasha's double bar spin was a bigger deal. It felt Caroline got the podium as a legacy thing.

 Fantastic to see! I think the camera work could have been a lot better though. Every jump was foreshortened and most of the take-off ramp was shown and just as you were anticipating the pop, the camera would cut to a view where the rider wasn't visible!

 The best part was watching with my 3-year-old duaghter and when Caroline dropped she noticed her pony tail and got all excited screaming "that's a girl that's a girl" and was jumping up and down the whole comp.

This is giving little girls like mine another thing to dream about doing one day!

 So good! If you look at how much women's ski and snowboard has progressed in the last few years, slopestyle is going to be so great!

 Unreal to see this massive evolution in womens slopestyle live and be part of something incredibly special. Thanks to all the riders and congrats Robin!

 It was so sick watching it! I was unaware of Natasha Miller till this event. She’s going to be a serious threat. This is what women's slopestyle needed. Bringing more women to the spot light.

 What exactly is a "Diamond Level Slopestyle World Championship event."

Cuz that term has been flying around for the past few days and it's making me insane. It sounds like something 4 year old would name an event.

 Bronze - Silver - Gold - Diamond. The top tier of the event system

 My personal opinion: That was super boring. Sorry girls. Now go ahead and roast me for being honest. Pfffffff.

 They'll probably delete your comment. Anything that's not super positive about the women is at risk of deletion. Trust me, I know.

 The victory lap/party train at the end felt like a bit of a cop out and wasted opportunity considering the small field of riders and being the first ever Womens event. Like thanks for the opportunity but we aren't going to try and be competitive kinda thing. Yes the men do it too every so often, but for the first chance at the big stage it was just anticlimactic.

 loads more exciting than the mens this year

 Maybe you're looking for something more spectacular, perhaps you need to be that person to yourself?

Being a spectator is not about you, it's about the people performing.

If you want more outta' life and can't tolerate or appreciate what others do, then that's about you.

And FYI, your post was a dick move, no different than making the same comment about anyone.

If you can't find anything nice to say, then keep it to yourself.

 I'm gonna venture a guess and say that these badass women do not give a shit about the opinion of a 49 year old man that spends more time thinking about riding bikes naked and getting his "wiener getting stuck" in the linkage rather than trying to practice these tricks so he doesn't feel so inferior.

 @emwooldridge: You are so cruel. That potential „Wiener getting stuck“ situation makes me tear out of sleep every single night. It’s traumatic. You girls have no idea!

 @sanchofula: So you don’t care what an internet jerk thinks but you are getting all fired up and emotional resulting in getting personal?

Let me ask you something: What is wrong if you get triggered by a random dude’s personal optinion?

A) That random dude’s personal opinion
B) Your self-esteem

 yes, the tricks were less spectacular than the men. But you have to consider that this was a world first ! You can't expect them to trhow crazy flips if it's the first year when men have been doing crankworx for two decades. Also, the line up was 5 women. Way less women ride than men and since the group of rider is smaller the chances number of elite riders will always be less. You can think that today, but wait for cairns, or next year, or in 10 years. It's like looking at rampage in the early 00's and comparing it to today !
