Don't see any mention of the skiercross on the Events line-up for next year. I'll gladly take two bump comps instead. Rad.

It is so on. I'll try my best to make the January comp. Just the fact that I'll be able to shut up the arrogant moguls nuts will give enough determination to drive 2+ hours to your lame 600 vert hill. If I can beat Greg I think my life will be complete, and you guys will never hear the end of it. Oh man am I pumped.






So how much of this run is based on time? I know this is the only category I have a chance of doing well in. Well maybe I'll do well in the airs category too if I don't wreck, which isn't likely.

It would be great to have you participate Austin. Seriously. But there is no way in hell you will beat me. I can promise you that one. I suspect you'll look a lot like your avatar heading down the course...

Typically, bump comps are 50% turns, 25% air and 25% speed. However, I think a skier that skis relatively clean that pulls away from his opponent, even if his opponent technically has better turns has a good shot at winning the heat. Tough to give a win to the guy that's way back. Mogul competition judging is pretty subjective. We all want to do well, but I'm there more to support the event/mogul philosophy. The vibe at the top of the course last season was undeniable too. Lots of fun! With that said, speed will be one of the items I plan to address this year. I need to get faster in the bumps to be competitive.

Even if you loose in the first round you will still get to watch Greg get destroyed by 2knees……………...or Powhunter……………or JonnyPoach.


That alone should make your 2 hour drive worth while.

You say this cause you cant possibly compete with us big boys.

I think you need alot more then speed to be competitive. But by all means, buy yourself another pair of fancy nancy pants so you look good standing around after you've been eliminated.



ooohh a whole summer of trash talking. BRING IT

Perhaps. But definitely not MR. evil. Let's remind everybody that you were the one that tracked down my old mis-mounted Cabrawlers just so you could more like me...

Yeah. Okay Mr. Adidas...

Mr. Adidas....

Dude i could wear a burlap sack as my outfit and still run you off the course.



speaking of getting run off the course we need to convince 180, powbmps, JimG, Jack97 etc to come on down.

Hey Greg I have a deal for you:

You beat me, I'll go ski bumps the whole day with you somewhere up north, no glades at all. Just bumps, the whole day. (You can make the harsher if you'd like, I just can't think of anything better)

I beat you, and you have go touring with me. I have all the all the equipment you need, so all you need to show up with are poles and boots.
