Watching that live though and seeing the actually ground those guys cover as they glide through the air is probably more remarkable.
It doesn't translate at all because its not intuitive for the audience. You literally have no idea who is winning until the judges tell you. The only real excitement is when someone crashes...which is not at all what the sport should be.
