10. Why did it have to happen to such a sick run?

Ashley was having an awesome run. Sucks that she had to suffer the misfortune of equipment failure.

@ashleybattersby Ashley Battersby

run was going so good til my binding popped me out on my last run last jump. bummed but stoked for X, congrats to the girls who made finals!

9. Fear or Ferocity?

Justin is always ready to compete. But is he showing anxiety or excitement for the event?

@Justin_dorey Justin Dorey

Pipe semis tonight @XGames ... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

8. Honoring your Homeland

Anna Segal made her country proud, by not only tweeting about it's national holiday, but bringing them home a Bronze medal on the same day. No one can doubt her citizenship now.

@AnnaSegal Anna Segal

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!!!!!

7. Cool, Calm and Collected

Tom took each step to his X Games Slope Gold with confidence, but was always enjoying the moment. The sigh of relief though is unnecessary. DOG, you qualified 2^nd!!!!

@TWallisch Tom Wallisch

Wheew!! Qualified. Can't wait to ski under the lights tonight!

6. Respect for Others!

Despite their obvious handicap of having only one board under their feet, Torin shows his love for the less fortunate! Just Playing, MARK MORRIS is ridiculously talented!

@Torin_Wallace Torin Yater-Wallace

@markmcmorris WTF?!! Stomped my man

5. Class!!!

David Wise is one of the most competitive guys out there! But has a level of class that is unsurpassed. Even though he was enjoying his success, X Games Pipe Gold, he took the time to show respect to wounded competitor, Justin Dorey.

@mrDavidWise David Wise

@Justin_dorey Respect man! You ARE the best halfpipe skier. Heal up!

4. Hey Buddy!!!! Get with the program!

Noah Bowman has been one of the most under rated pipe skiers, but he has the hardware now to change everyone's mind. Maybe it's because he flys under the radar and doesn't even have a Twitter account. His buddy, pipe slayer, Matt Margets, though isn't going to let him drop the ball. Matt delivered this helpful hint via Twitter, too bad Noah won't see it.

3. Girls Have All the Fun

Despite all the stress of X Games, the girls in skiing make sure to have fun. This is by far the most fun tweet from X Games.

Bahah just found this pic in my phone... Girls mocking me as I take a painful ice bath @anaiscaradeux @ashleybattersby pic.twitter.com/YAbcEvlQ

2. Forewarning to Redemption

BB wrote just after a disappointing night in slope. His hunger for X Games Big Air Gold grew stronger.

@Bobby_Brown1 Bobby Brown

1. A Rookie gets more than he bargained for

It was Nick's first time at X, but it didn't get the best of him. He handled it like a champ, he did finish with a silver in Slope. Welcome to the top Nick, we can't wait to see what else you do.

@NickGoepper Nick Goepper

Slope practice today. Let's get my first taste of X Games. #unreal
