Snowboard cross and half pipe are still better snowboard events though.
Done! I'll add more as they come along. Not sure if the NBC one will work for those not in the US.
I like slope style! Helps that we have some great chances to medal in the event as well. Sucks that Mark Mcmorris is hurt, hope he can man up and medal through the pain.
For you US viewers: the NBC stream works ONLY if you also have a cable subscription. If you are a cord-cutter residing in the US like me, you are out of luck. NBC paid 4+ billion to lock you into their content.
Unless you are crafty. For those so inclined, you can use a VPN to mask your country then go watch the British coverage on BBC or Canadian coverage on CBC.
I'm using an app called TunnelBear to VPN to Canada to watch the CBC. It is much less biased coverage anyways.
I actually got cable subscription just for this. Does anyone know for the nbc online streams whether you will be able to skip through the videos? I was looking at the ones for today and it seems like you can't move around and have to watch it straight through.
