I remember back in the day when Terje Håkonsen (snowboarding) was winning every single half pipe competition with the exact same run every time. I still remember it:

Frontside air, Backside air, fs 720, cab 720, Stalefish, McTwist

And then he switched it up and threw in the Håkonflip instead of the cab 720. Boring as shit but he was hella good.
Ahhhhh.... Terje... The good old days. The ENTIRE reason I hate Shaun White is while most kids have to work to get good, Terje and the rest of the original Burton team (The Gooch, Rippey, etc.) taught that little shit everything. Respect needs to be earned.

Nyjah... I dunno. I'm not a fan, as I always root for underdogs in contests, but he doesn't have that "I need to be punched in the head" attitude that I feel Shaun White and Ryan Sheckler have/had.

And honestly, I was just reading something about the guy having a really shitty homelife with some kind of abusive dad. Tough to hate on someone who's skating to escape that shit.
