Slopestyle Olympics 2018

By Roger Willows 20 April, 2023 2 mins read

Slopestyle olympics 2018, one of the most thrilling new sports in Olympic History, is underway. It was introduced in 2014 at Sochi, Russia. Six gold medals were won by the sport and two silvers went to Team USA.

Slopestyle, a snowboarding event, involves jumping on rails or boxes. It's different from other snowboarding events (such as moguls/aerials) because it's a discipline that is freestyle.

For slopestyle, athletes must complete a series or tricks within the time limit in order to earn points. The points are based on the amplitude of the jumps, the difficulty of the tricks, and the execution. There are many other factors that affect the final score, such the difficulty of the tricks and the progression of style.

It is famous for its insane stunts. Riders launch off their boards onto the side and land back on their feet. It can be challenging to discern what score is high and what scores are not.

It's a lot of fun to watch, but it can be hard to predict where the competition will be headed. This is especially true when it comes to the men's snowboard slopestyle competition.

Gerard shocked everyone by going for a pipe that was deemed too risky by the majority of the riders on the course, which he then turned into one of the most technical rail sections of the day with his tweaked indy air and 270 tailslide. Gerard even managed to land a perfect backside triple cork 1440 on the final run. This trick is extremely difficult and not something many riders do due to the risk.

Despite winning four medals in snowboarding at the last Olympics in Beijing, Team USA has yet to win a single slopestyle medal in 2018. However, it's never too late to get on the podium at PyeongChang.

Slopestyle has a unique atmosphere. There's not many events like it where the competition is real and the riders are still being challenged. Red Gerard, Jared Parrot and other younger riders have helped push the more experienced riders to new heights every year at the Olympics.

The younger generation might not be as successful but it is amazing to see. It's a reminder about how bright snowboarding's future is.

Another factor that's making this a hugely exciting sport is the fact that it's a team sport, and the athletes are able to work together in competition. That's a huge change from most sports that have a single, dominant athlete.

There's a reason snowboarding is so popular at the Olympics. It's an athletic sport that's not only challenging, but it's one of the few sports where people are genuinely happy to be on the same team.

It is also a great way for you to practice your skills. You should practice your skills and be ready to compete.
