Fox 61 had some video on last night, it wasn't a lot but they did show a girl that crashed head first into a mogul after one of the kickers... was she ok? And the girl from the Clinic on Wednesday... how'd she finish... she looked to me like a very good bump skier.

that mus have been 180's wife

Jarrod, nice pictures. You guys put a ton of work into the terrain park, and the big air jumps and it really shows! Nice job to you and all your guys! :beer:

Had a great time there yesterday hanging out with everyone and meeting more new Az'ers. Pressure is on you Brian to get the video up tonight. FYI, I get very little of the qualifying runs unless I was able to recognize them and even then it was just half the run. If you got seeded there is a good chance you will be on the video as I think I got most of them until the battery ran out in the semi finals.

Suggestion for Sundown on the next comp, if you could call out the number and name of the skier at the start of the runs. Recording on the bottom of such a long run I couldn't see who was at the start. They started out calling out the names of the kids and woman's division, then it stopped.

The judging I thought was real fair, sitting at the bottom I saw many a times them give the win to the second skier who made turn versus straight lining the bottom. Perfect example was Iceman, he was just landing the second kicker and the other competitor was just crossing the line, Iceman got the win most likely for his perfect turns.

Agreed. I was hoping to take a ride up lift one during the big air, but the bumps on Gunny were so fun, I just wanted to hop lift 2 and get back over there. Gunbarrel is just sick right now after all that ripper traffic yesterday. Hoping the cold temps froze that run solid to preserve them for the weekend.

Well, when a silly official race trail is cut, you guys could build an elevated mogul finish building over the bottom of Gunbarrel, complete with a state of the art computer system to making the judging/seeding, announcing, etc. much easier. ;)

dude, i'm my last head to head that i lost, i was flying down the lower section totally out of control yet i could still hear you on the loudspeaker. You were saying "remember, style counts in this competition"

nothing like getting heckled by the announcer.

Jarrod said he'll scan the brackets into a PDF this week.

locked in Dotty's office... i'll try to break in, but its probably better for inter-departmental relationions that we wait until she comes into work....

i was thinking of just taking the brackets and the master list and scanning them in....

Whatever is easiest, and no rush. Nice job on the mic yesterday too, as usual.

I could hear him quite clearly during my qualifying run, good stuff.

One thing I noticed is that the winner was definitely no youngster..maybe 40ish and most of the competitiors were in their 30s and 40s..props for showing that getting mad steezy air isn't just for the young jibhonks..

and Bvibert..the 90s called and they want their goatee back..lol
