#slopestyle — Public Fediverse posts

Why do #BigAir athletes wear “baggy” jackets and salopettes, but #SlopeStyle wear more streamlined clothing? And some have long, flowing hair/ponytails - surely this reduces aerodynamics? (Not a sports watcher, so pardon the innocence of the question.. but this is the #WinterOlympics)

News z wczoraj:

"Dawid #Godziek przeszedł do historii. W kanadyjskim Whistler zdobył tytuł slopestyle’owego mistrza świata. 29-latek z Suszca jest pierwszym Polakiem w historii i trzecim zawodnikiem na świecie, który wywalczył nie jeden, a aż trzy złote medale z rzędu w ramach Pucharu Świata #FreerideMountainBike."

I tylko szkoda, ze #slopestyle #MTB nie jest (jeszcze) dyscyplina olimpijska

I know this must be a hard time for the athletes, but I’m absolutely sure that their actions will pay off. They all deserve our respect! ✊
Sport of any kind should be sustainable for everyone.

Time for today's #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion and it's a rare foray into the world of sport. Great Britain's Mia Brookes became the youngest world champion in snowboarding history at the age of 16 this week, beating New Zealand's Zoi Sadowski-Synnott to women's #slopestyle gold at the #Snowboard, Freestyle and Freeski World Championships in Georgia.

Here's your question: which of the options in the #poll is a genuine snowboard trick?

As ever, if you enjoy the daily #trivia #quiz please boost so that more people can discover it. Also, if you like #puzzles then check out the #EnigMarch hashtag.

Snowboarding excellence

Sixteen year old Brit Mia Brookes pipped our hero Zoi Sadowski-Synnott to become the slopestyle world champion.

This is what a "cab double cork 1440" (a 1440 degree rotation) looks like. God grant us all the confidence of 16-year old world champs.
