Got up early to watch the slopestyle event in the winter Olympics. Absolutely thrilling stuff. The Brits were unlucky, but the pure spectacle overrode any partisan feelings. Watching those kids flying through the air, being creative with it, and having balls the size of ostrich eggs to even attempt it, was a great start to my Sochi viewing. Great camera work too, revealing just how technical it is, and beautiful to watch too, in a wonderful setting. Obviously I'm ignoring all the crap surrounding the whole event, just trying to stay positive.Brilliant, colourful start.
Anyone else getting into the games?
The quote came from one of the commentators, following a particularly acrobatic, huge jump! The event also made me very aware that a whole new lexicon has passed me by.That's ok though, it would sound silly coming out of my mouth.
