Just to say there are other reviews that say the SSX blur controls are great. Its juat some reviewers get pissed off to quick and dont try to master the controler and the game suffers for it. So dont blame the game blame the game player.

the only one of the 3 i said have bad controls that ive played is sonic, and although they're ok, usually the reason ill die in a mission is because of the unresponsive controls.the complaints about the other 2 is based on user reviews.

SSX has good controls. The bad reviews are most likely from people who got frustrated that they couldn't do it very well, so they blame the controls.

ho far are you.during the first level they seem good, but later in the game, they can be a real pain. Actually, the level ive had the most difficulty with is the one with all the dinosaurs.

Of the five games that I have all of them have done a good job on the controls.  I do believe there is some room for improvement and that it will come.  Just give it a little more time.

Not counting the training level im up to the 5 level. I mean its a hard game but not cause the control.

i think that of the entire game, or at least where i am right now, which is at the place where you have to find knuckles, the most fun level was the first. not to say the whole game isn't fun, just the first level was the best in my opinion.

Reading reviews and then talking about what you read without actually playing the game doesn't really qualify as intelligent discussion.
SSX controls great, the idea that "uber" control is broken is simply false, with a little bit of practice they are repeatable and able to be pulled off.  They are DIFFICULT to do, but that's part of what makes you want to do them, they are a challenge, and as a reward, something cool happens. 
If you like games that aren't a challenge, then maybe the game didn't get the controls right.  But that is a pretty boring way to look at it.  If all you want to do is mash buttons to play a game there are several alternatives.  If you bought a system with motion control as it's primary controller, straight button control is kind of silly.
Bottm line, SSX has a great control scheme.

Couldn't have said it better myself. "These controls totally suck. Someone I never met on the internet said so... if it's written on the net it must be true."

That is very sound advice, because games like Sonic there is nothing to get really. They have the most basic controller use that you can possibly have on the Wii, and it works great.
