oh for the love of god...... :lol:
i cant take anymore of this, people at work are asking me what is so funny.
I know steve is as laid back as they come and all. But i'll say this one more time, its a shame i didnt have my camera on friday. He was hitting the lines so fast and clean it was scary AND he threw a 3 off the bottom kicker.

Finally got around to creating an account...
First off, it was great meeting everyone on Sunday (I was #531, unnamed in MrMagic's first run in Greg's video.) Good bumps and good people always makes for a fun time. I have no shame in getting knocked out by the second place finisher, especially one who had as good of form as MrMagic.

Glad you could joins us here on AZ. Sorry there was no footage of you in my wifes video (MRGisevil), but that video was just footage of AZer's she threw together real quickly. She is currently putting footage together of all the participants round by round. So check back in and there should be some footage of you rockin the bumps soon.
Welcome! Glad you were able to find your way here. Were you the guy on the Cabrawlers? I was bib 520 and on Head Mad_Trix Moguls, dressed in all black for the comp and wearing a blue/black shell before and after.

I'll probably keep to Killington the rest of the year, seeing as how I have a pass there. I'm thinking about adding a Sundown pass for next year, though.
That was me.

Awesome! Welcome aboard! And yeah, join us next year definitely. We usually do Wednesday nights at Sundown. Great way to break up the week and hone your bumpin' skills.

Okay I was quick to come to Nigel's defense, but Greg's run was better after seeing it in my opinion. The jump, the turns, etc.
What did the winners get? It looked fun. Maybe I'll have to bring my tele gear down next time.

I had issues, like many others, with the judging on Sunday, but about Tuesday Jarrod's many reminders sunk in: it was about a fun, relaxing day with a little bit of competition thrown in to spice things up a bit.
Now, onto my comments for next year:
Maybe, instead of making it a Males 19+ class, make it an Open skier class. Also, if there isn't a separate telemark class, it might be more appropriate to throw the telemark skiers in with the snowboarders. Not so much segregating the telemark skiers or snowboarders from the fixed heel skiers, but rather styles that can be judged through the World Cup system (even though anyone who mentions the judging criteria will be dq'd) from the non-traditional methods of moguling.
Also, I'd love to see 2 (or more -weekly?) bump comps at Sundown next year, but maybe have one in the same format as this year and the other be a singles, scored event. Maybe best 2 out of three runs or something like that - everyone gets equal runs, and you're not necessarily hosed due to a bad run; I also don't think a stopwatch would make it too serious (for the purpose of the singles event,) just so long as the rest of the scoring/competing kept the same atmosphere.
Edit: Oh, and the prizes were much more substantial than I was expecting. A pair of skis for the winners in both the males' sking classes (including a pair of what looked like about 130s for a kid that was probably 16-17,) snowboard for the snowboard winner, snowboard bindings, equipment bags, gift certificates, etc.

It's a gigantic 380 MB file. :-o I think the server might catch fire. :lol:
Thanks for making that Marge and thanks for hosting it Greg...
