Olympic Winter Games: Vancouver 2010

The key here is to hit each of the gates while staying on the inside of the pole. Think of the tallest part of the gate as the pole and the low part of the gate as a loose flap. Just snowboard through the flap to decrease your time because it will allow you to set up a better angle going into the next gate. Hitting the gates in this manner will not slow you down because the gates will just bend backwards as you go through them.
