You are referring to the SnowBoarding Cross Event, and that is one of the scariest -Awesome Events I've seen.  The "Flying Tomatoe" was really Awesome in the SnowBoarding Half-Pipe Event 8)   :) Go USA  :D

Thanks for the info, Blue...now back to my TV....... ;D

[bobby]

anyone else catch that exciting curling match? haven't been that entertained since the time i watched a silent movie in closed caption

[bubblegum]

what's curling? How is it a sport with any athletic merit?  All it looks like they doing to me is pushing around pucks on ice with broomsticks...doesn't look that hard to me

[bobby]

their not even brooms there like swiffers

[bubblegum]

can someone explain to me though HOW is curling considered a sport and what the point of it is? doesn't even look like they get their heart rates up.  What does sweeping the ice with a broom do? I've swept my front proch thats had ice on it before and it didn't do diddly squat...
