RE: Jan Bump Comp
offical requests can be made now for the January comp.
Format -
Judging -
Time -
Entry Fee vs Prizes - (more fee, more prizes)
music on PA -
Jump Style / Size -
I'd say, if my vote counted.... that the first run is singles - based on style, and that sets a bracket system for the duel / head to head rounds, which is more speed based - head to head, winner advances untill....we get to the top 10% of the winners from head to head and we do another singles run where the jump gets weighed more, and then crown winners... ( I see this taking some of the pressure off of those who are slower (greg) and those whose feet perfer to remain on the ground (bvibert)) while still leaving pleanty of competitiveness to warrent the inline trash talk extravaganza that is AZ
I'd still like 2 judges, working percentages / points depending on the round
Event start at 1pm to offer the best light and snow quality
Cost about 10 bucks or less to enter and get a shop involved to get some swag. Behind the scenes - winner gets beer bought by the losers...
DJ Sirius Satlite on some sort of rock station
Jumps made similar to last season, except i'll try to get a better flater in run to allow for more set up time, as well as make float and pop options for each of the competition lines.

i might be able to get our company involved in the prize thing. i mentioned this earlier and it was recieved well but things got so crazy with the economy i was hesitant to push further. If you guys want, i can bring it up again with our marketing director regarding prizes. she's a die hard skier herself who owns property at killington.
a bracket system for the duel / head to head rounds...

Who else? Steve-O said he's unfortunately out on this one. Not going to be the same without a glorious powhunter wreck...
yea it was either the Kmart mogul camp or this...decided on going to the mogul camp.....Hopefully Ill have a good crash in the march comp for ya!!
steveo
still in but scared... thought i'd have lots more bump practice under my belt at this point
Scared? Come on, Gary, it's all just for fun. It really was a cool vibe last year.
i broke my collar bone playing mens 35+ and over softball because i tell myself before every pitch "if the ball comes to me i will dive for it"
damn i thought you said the mogul camp was the 17th to the 18th? this is devastating news steve.
anyway, i'll be at killington sunday night the 24th. hang around for monday and show me what you learned.
yes, i know, just for fun. but i've never done one of these before (never even ran nastar) so i'm anxious (better word than scared). when i get into compeditive situations (yes, again iknow, this is for fun, not compeditive) i tend to get agressive and do stupid things. i broke my collar bone playing mens 35+ and over softball because i tell myself before every pitch "if the ball comes to me i will dive for it"
i should ski at least twice before the comp, hopefully the bumps will be reseeded and good so i can get some practice time in.
