    I don't dig on freestyle, so no.

    Why can't a race, just be race?

    How can the judges effectively judge tricks when 8 racers are running at the same time? Surely someones amazing flip whip ollie faking bing bang bong dooby whatsit could be missed while watching someone straight airing to flat?

    Race or freestyle not both - the speed and style thing at whistler was BS - Faircloughs winning run was fast but hardly stylish. The next guy was as fast, far more tricksy but fell just short of the line.
