Winter X Games 15 - Kelly Clark nails her first-ever 1080

[s1ight]

regardless... this is half pipe it instantly becomes slightly less cool, i'd love to see Shaun White attempt some of the things travis rice has done in 10 feet of pow.

[930793]

Wow come on guys, quit flaming! Can your girlfriend 1080 on a snowboard?

[antidoteco]

@930793 LOL - so true- all the haters probably just got out of Zumiez in their Jr. Snowboarder start up kit and are working on their carving in the blue zones ! Posers talk crap!

[cjzender]

this is sad my 12 year old brother can 1080

[man69cole]

it takes muscle and heart. that's all.

[seanseansean1]

Kelly Clark throws DOWN!

[jmzpulp68]

THE WORST 1080 EVER !!!!! Hey girls, please grab you tricks !

[McM1keyMe]

how come women's super pipe is NO COMPARISON to men's? it's like a whole different event.. definitely not "super" more like just regular "pipe."

[tristanstorm97]

dude thats fucked up but awesome!!!!!

[slyrockbabies]

I have seen her win an entire event over the men, yes S White wasn't there but regardless she is better than most men. For any of you dissing her, let's see your video of you doing this! She has pushed the envelope for women in this sport.

[AnimalxIxHavxBecome]

@slyrockbabies i disagree with she's better than most men. It's my opinion, and yes Kelly is a kick-ass snowboarder and redefined snowboarding for women, but if you look at people like Shaun White, Sebastian Toutant and Kevin Pearce, there is no comparison. Again, just my opinion

[slyrockbabies]

@AnimalxIxHavxBecome

If you read what I said "she is better than MOST men" I have been to MANY US snowboarding, dew games X games...and if you put Kelly Clark is still better than some of the men competing. Obviously I am not comparing her to Sean White, who is an far better than anyone else...his height and grace in tricks is unmatched. Yes Keven P, Louie, Sebastian are also excellent....but I said I said MOST and not the the TOP professional men.

[bromosexual146]

@slyrockbabies thats not really true. i would say shes better than some professional men. not many though.

[SuperSoccer2020]

I dont get why fucking people are always bashing on women and their sports. This is such bullshit. Its insane that Kelly Clark can do something like that. Yeah so she doesn't have a dick and is look down upon by assholes who know nothing. But give her a break, women snowboarders, and women who play professional sports ingeneral work their ass off just to get atleast alittle recognition for what they do when they really deserve so much more.

So why dont you just give women a break, and shut up.

[sduggan3]

women suck

[KanyeKnievel]

Seriously I dont understand why women's progression is so slow when 15year olds are capable of 1260 double corks and women who have been snowboarding 10 years longer than those 15 year olds can only do up to a 1080

[stephenspinato]

@KanyeKnievel  is that true?

[STMN69]

@KanyeKnievel I agree man..I run lift lines and see lots of lil shits doin crazy stuff now a days :)

[bboydee]

@KanyeKnievel disincourement by the past culture/social traditions.

[radheaven]

@KanyeKnievel Most girls who snowboard arent jacked and therefore weigh pretty much nothing. Without that weight to give you the momentum you're not going to get much air. And then our weak little bodies have an even harder time spinning our bodies around that much.

[dasschleg]

@radheaven To add to that, when they fall, because they are more frail than their male counterparts, they injure themselves easier, so they push as hard.

[60sisthashit]

@KanyeKnievel strengh in upper body and legs and weight...

[RZAhalfpipe503]

For all you hater FUCK you even though women are nowhere being as close to men in skill or style she is better that all of you will ever be.

[TrippleTheHops]

if you call slowly tip toeing into the pipe and getting 9 feet of air progression then GO WOMEN WOOO! and you are insinuating that I would rather see young dudes naked rather than females but you are way ahead of yourself. All you see on the winter x womens athletes are their faces, chin to eyebrows dude, sooo hot. cant wait to see the first woman bust a double cork 1080 in 2019!

[train4danger]

TrippleTheHops, clearly you either need another beer or need to pull your head from your butt. Sounds like you'ld rather watch 12-14 year old boys as opposed to women. Creepy. Pay attention, actually watch some of these women snowboard, then you'll know what progression really is. Progression is so much more than just flipping around like a gymnist, and these girls runs progress at almost every contest they do.

[TrippleTheHops]

I would rather watch a YOUTH class in Xgames rather than WOMENS. their progression is sooo slow and boring as **** to watch. 12-14 year old boys go bigger. just sayin

[train4danger]

first ever 1080 by a woman was 2 years ago by Ellery Holingsworth, April 2009, fakie to forward. Kelly's marks the first forward to fakie 1080 for a woman.

[SnowboardChickBurton]

@train4danger waitta go danger!

[twinnuke]

@train4danger I think you mean switch. Fakie is a skateboarders / skiers term.
