Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

Those kind of people ruin it for the rest of us!

Damned right. Just change the fucking channel.

They had no business holding today's half pipe event. Well, I say that but then I say athletes should be given a choice. I mean, I guess they could have refused to compete today, but the Olympics are coming to a close. The wind was literally blowing them all over the place. You could see the wind grab them. One of 'em seems to have just barely missed serious injury.

That'd all be fine if they chose to risk that and weren't obligated to perform today. Fuck it, make the events last an extra day 'cause the wind's inconsistency makes it unfair. I care more about how unfair it was than I care about the risks. The games should be fair.

Fairness matters. Athlete choice matters.

If they all have to compete in the same conditions it's fair

This is rough to call the same conditions. It was a weird strong wind that'd go from nothing to like 50 mph gusts - and they're like 35' in the air when it gusts. Worse, the timing was such that it'd fuck over the first half and then die down for the second half of 'em.

I kinda feel bad for 'em. But, it was pretty fucking amusing to see 'em get blown like 15' into the pipe and drop 35' on their heads.

Anyhow, it wasn't consistent so not the same conditions. Fate said the first half got straight fucked while the second half had pretty much no wind at all.
