I went to Cypress last night and it was awesome! First time I've been to a freestyle event and the crowd was amazing, skiing and the jumps were really cool to see live. Was awesome to see Bilodeau beat spammaster Begg-Smith the "aussie".

I guess really I should have worded it differently. Either way I still think the guy is a douchbag and I'm glad he was beat by a Canadian.

This is absolutely awesome and she deserves all the accolades she can get. When I was home at lunch they had the first qualifying run where she fell. But she got back up, hopped up the first jump and finished her run. From there she managed to fight her way back to gold. Just a great story and I'm very happy to see someone come back from early adversity the way she did.

And Nesbitt won by 0.02 seconds, I think.
