Anyone see the snowboard slopeski yesterday. Apparently the BBC had over 300 complaints about the commentators. I though the commentary was hilarious, not quite what the BBC were known for.

Couple of things - shout out to James Willstrop (who lives in Harrogate where I am based) who has reached the semis of the above event. It is a big event and James has dragged his ranking back into the top 20 and looks like going higher and maybe top 10, which at the age of 35 is pretty impressive. Well done Ja...
