You = Fail.

At least the whole "Fail" concept is still kicking.

All we need know is someone to add a +1 (yes I am guilty of using this one).

Beside the regulars at KZone, does anyone care about the BMMC any more ?

it's got a lot of history so I'm not ready to give it up just yet, and I believe a lot of others prolly feel simlarly. I think the crappy weather last year had something to do with the low turnout. Lets see what happens this year.

I think that you should throw this one into the mix the weekend after BMMC. Mount Snow return of the Glade-iator bump comp running the SAME day as their "winter" Brewer's Fest!

"The Return of the GLADE-IATOR
04/03/2010
The legendary bump competition is coming back to Mount Snow! The Glade-iator challenges the best east coast bump skiers in this non-sanctioned extreme competition on Ripcord.

Competitors will attempt to descend our 37 degree pitch massive mogul field before hitting a final jump to impress the judges.

Awards will be presented at the Mount Snow Winter Brewers Festival on Cuzzins Deck.

More information on registration and competition details will come in the next few months. "

That's going to be one fun day!!

the skiers do. the talent level last year was the best ive ever seen at the bmmc. a lot of guys that would have made day 2 in years past, werent even close last year.

that being said... i would trade better skiers for a pre 2008 bmmc anyday. i used to have a group of 20 friends that only came up one wknd a year and that ended after the 2008 bmmc.
it wasnt the weather that kept people away last year, because they came up and partied in the rain.

i dont know if this beer garden tent idea is going to do anything to bring the crowds back, but i know my crew will be skiing it anyway. and a good number of us will be at sundowns S7 as well (was at a wedding with randy grasso this past wknd and he said he is coming back to defend his title)

That's awesome! He seemed to like the event. Greg has video somewhere of a post-event interview with him.

Terrain parks are one thing, I tone it down a bit in a bump run. It'll only be the quad. :razz:

I would rather just go to Sugarloaf for Reggaefest drink beer and take some runs and hang with crazy Mainers.

 

[MogulQueen]

I'm in for both events. If there is any chance I can ski a nice bump run, I'm in! Who cares if it is a comp or not or there is a huge crowd or not, don't we just do it for the thrill of it?! I can't wait. Bring it on!

Nice!

I don't plan to be anywhere near competitive. Would just like to win a dual That's a high enough goal.

Well, I'm sure that's a load off of Hammer's mind......

I'll be happy to hold something resembling a line in my qualifying run.

 

[Greg]

Well, I'm sure that's a load off of Hammer's mind......

Agreed. :lol:

But you my friend have about two, maybe three more years before your "two knees" are so played out that I'm the one to school you in a duel.... :razz:

Yep. And when you can incorporate a clean dumper air, you'll know you've arrived.

Isn't "clean dumper air" an oxymoron?
