Oh what the hell. We had a thread going two months before this past weekend's comp. The March event is going to be on Gunbarrel. Hopefully sunny, a bit more pitch and soft bumps. Maybe two kickers this time?! :eek: Double the chances for spectacular wrecks by downhill04 and powhunter. :lol: Gonna be great!
:spread:

Bummer. Would have been cool to have you come down. Maybe you can ask them to rescheule that thing for you? ;) Anyway, come down some day in the spring.

Better be two kickers; Gunny's got the length for it. I'd actually sorta like to see the bottom jump be a nice big table top. Some 720s would be cool. But then again, I'm not looking for downhill04 to get another concussion. Be interesting to see if they use the full length for the competition, too.

The Iron Man Mogul Challenge. :lol: Top to bottom, 5 kickers and a 40 foot tabletop at the bottom. That would be sweet! ;)

I think the steeper section down to where it flattens out at mid station would be good. You could get some spectators up there too. Should be fun!

I have a lax game that morning. I also want to see how I can hang on Gunny once it gets seeded. At the bare minimum I should be there as a spectator.

WHAT?!?!? :blink:

You're competing son. And you're taking air this time! Spring bumps will be more forgiving. And what's up with that silly lah-cross-eh stuff again during prime mogul season? You need to get your priorities straight kid....

A clean dumper air should really guarantee a berth in the finals.

are they gonna seed it after racings done, or just let it bump up naturally?? Also do they plan on grooming half the hill???

I already started doing the, "I could just skip the lax game" debate in my head.

Chris said on Saturday that they plan to seed Gunny in fifths. 1/5 of the hill the first time and then work their way down as conditions allow. There's no way Kurt's stomach could handle banging that out all at once. This will let them get a jump on it sooner so we may see bumps before racing is fully over, at least above the race course. And yes, they will seed just skier's right.

There's nothing to debate, my man. ;) You'll do the right thing when the time comes. :razz:

+1

Ideally something we could access after coming down Temptor, if possible.

We gotta make sure that the announcer (Jarrod, or whoever) knows what it's called. ;)

Apparently Jeff was gonna tell Jarrod while he was up there video taping, but got too preoccupied.

I'll be so proud if I hit up a sweet dumper air and hear it announced for all to hear. :lol:
