Did Brian make it home?

Right now I am wishing I stopped drinking once I left SD. The additional beers once I got home
were a bad idea.

Enjoy tomorrow. I've been chugging water,

Yes, I made it home, no problems. My throat's a little soar from yelling during the comp, but otherwise I'm fine, not too hungover. :beer:

The comp and apres was really fun yesterday. I'm disappointed that I slipped on the approach to the kicker during my run, forcing me to ski around it. Not that I would have done any sick airs anyway, but it would have been nice to at least go off of it.

Congrats to everyone though! There were a lot of good solid runs by everyone. :spread:

Thanks to Chris, Jarrod, Dottie, Bob, and the rest of the Sundown crew for putting this together for us!

What's the fate of those kickers?

I hope SD will leave atleast one of them in place, as the pictures show I need practice.

Wow, these pictures look like crap on my old iBook. Apologies to anyone who had to view overly-contrasted photos!

When do the bumps move to Gunny again?

just got out of work. gonna take a run or two, then head home. bumps are pretty good. kickers are open, but landings look hard...

At least I can beat Pat at something... :lol:

if i had it over again, i would've skipped my last beer and a half. not that i was bombed, but i dont like to drive even if i'm close to the limit. but when i got home, there were about 10 drunkards in my house so i probably had about 6 more before i finally crashed.

amazingly, my knee didnt hurt at all when i went to bed. :lol:

OMG. And I thought the other one was the funny. :lol: Love the facial expression!


that was my duel with mondy i think, and i was thinking how much that landing was gonna hurt my already aching knee.

but yes, its another quality shot of me looking like an idiot....:razz:

But most importantly, chill out and remember, this is just for fun. Learning to adopt a little bit of humility will probably go a long way. Telling you this as a bro, not to be a dick.QUOTE]

You guys need to lighten up. Here's a picture I snapped of the finish area....

What were the prizes?(or did I miss where they were posted in the thread?)
IIRC, Suburban Sports put up the prizes. Nice jackets for the junior and women's divisions and a Thule rack was the big prize. I don't remember what else where was (was there anything else for the men's)? The guys decided to combine the young & old men's divisions and the old dudes kicked the young dudes' butts! :lol:

Let's make this clear: the old dudes decided to combine divisions. The young guys mostly had nothing to say, with some strenuously objecting.

Sisson won bindings. Which I found humorous.

looks like i missed a fun day.. Great pictures Carrie. Greg, any chance of getting the full roster and placements posted like you did last spring? since i wasn't there i'm curious to see who participated and how everyone did.

i thought i saw the killington ripper chick (AKA amanda??) in one of the photos, did she compete against the men again?

anybody besides 2knees shoot video?

Looks like a damn good time! Congrats to Patrick! That's awesome that he drove south to check out the mountain and enter the comp!
