twesterm - you missed the point I made - you can use the start menu transporter to put you at the front of each event instead of riding down the mountain. And no, youre right, there are some moves that are just impossible for real life. What Im saying is, there are some moves in TRicky and SSX 3 that have been brought to life. Hell, a 1200+ spin was considered unrealistic in this time frame. Now Shaun White is spinning these rotations in a halfpipe.
Unless you are an avid snowboarder, you wouldn't recognize how many leaps and bounds the tricks have made in reality.
