He crashed… so heartbreaking to watch his reaction.

He got 36 pts and is 11th.

He gets a second chance in the “semi’s” on Saturday.

he was limping and seemed in pain when waiting for his score. Hopefully he will be good on Saturday!

Haha Scotty’s tweet

Shit, how much did Sage just over shoot that midle jump. No wonder they say its dangerous. Jumps need to me more up with steeper landings, not so much out. I liked the hand drag on the Russian doll feature

edit, sorry its the first jump. Paumola just over shot it too

I missed her first run. cant get the stream to work, and I was flicking back on forth on TEN cos i hate cricket and missed it.

So cant comment on the commentators

They are keeping it on. So stick with it. (i was watching the tenplay live stream at the same time with cricket on mute)

Was a fairly conservative run but she nailed it - she is currently first.

I love Torah as much as the next person but I hope this isn’t an indication of the rest of the coverage. They’ve showed like 2-3 runs in total and the rest has been adds, interviews and “expert” comments from the studio with no acknowledgement that there’s a competition going on in the background you’d think it was a 1 person comp.

Live stream it is I guess… *hugs HTPC*

Edit: Ouch!  big surprise
