Winter Olympics- As Imagined By Homer Simpson
Santa Claus Diving.. The next event to be added to the Olympic roster? or from the imagination of a crazy man? The latter, I'm afraid...
Watching a very recent Simpsons episode- 'Boy Meets Curl' Homer discovers there is such an event as the winter olympics...
and the above picture is what he imagines its is like. Santa in a diving contest. Classic!

Well Yeap He Won..
An update from the final of the mens half pipe qualification:
The Americans really did show the real skills of the night as a nation. Aside from Mr White taking the Gold.. Scotty Lago threw down some solid moves to take silver. And the most noteworthy US mention goes to Gregory Bretz- the 19yr old shredder. Who really impressed in the qualifying. But in the finals failed to land.
Oh yes almost forgot- Louie Vito. He throw some fast spins and inversions.. but not getting a high enough score to podium. Anyone else notice all the boos from the crowd? must have been his douchebag appearance on 'Dancing on ice'
more to follow..........

GB team rider, Ben Kilner, did his country proud by strongly making the final, but in the end he was unable to lay down a clean run.. and finished up last. Awesome effort though! We salute you!
Top 6 made it through.
Markis Malin- Finland, threw huge, double cork, solid clean and easy.
Gregory Bretz- USA, the youngest of the team, really impressed and stole the show. Iv never heard of this kid, but he could definately stir things up in the final. Also able to cleanly land the all important double cork:
Scotty Lago- USA, the known name, a good finalist. A possible medalist. He looked on form for sure.
Mathieu Crepal- France, our favourite frenchman.. Loving the french humour amongst the team. With their drawn on tashes- keeping things a bit light and humerous in such official times!

Markku Koski- Finland, was wondering where he was the whole time. But ok he is through.. dont think its his night though..
Justin Lamoureux, Canada.
Apart from the riding, a few mentions on the style selections for all the teams. Loving it!
You can spot some branding every now and then- Burton, Quiksilver have definately been hooking some teams up. The french get-up, Quiksilver provided, really loving the look- aided by their tashes...

Under the Underlayers of Hannah Teter..
Hannah Teter - 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit - SI.com
If you were wondering what Hannah Teter has been up to recently.. she has definitely not been hiding!
The former Shaun White of the girl world, has been stripping off her thermals for sports illustrated- a special edition on Olympic participators.
The obvious debate comes to mind. Is this the right move for female riders such as Hannah? In a recent interview with shredbetties.com, when asked her hopes for this Olympics, she is quoted as wanting to: 'be a positive role model for kids.' Although, looking gorgeous in the shots, and showing the feminine form of a snowboarders figure- lovely jubbly- it really doesn't help the female industry's plight to be taken seriously.
Flashback a few years ago and Hannah Teter was the one to watch in the pipe- the up and coming talent. Taking the gold in 2006 in Turin. Her name is one of the few mainstreamly recognised from the snowboard world.
Since then, whilst other riders have been hitting the icy training pipe hard and progressing the competition to a whole new level,-Teter has just returned to the competitive trail after a few years 'career gap' to do humanitarian deeds. Snowboarding since age 8, taking a few year off is probably not a bad idea. But can she still keep up with the likes of Gretchen Bleiler, Kelly Clark or Torah Bright? Taking another bronze in the 2010 Winter X Games- she was never going for gold... and it didn't ever appear like she had a shot at it...
Maybe instead of stripping down for the camera she should be concentrating on the upcoming Olympics and gaining back the respect of the industry. Otherwise she might not be the female equivalent of Shaun White... but the Anna Kornikova of snowboarding.
