This old man, he play lacrosse. He pass out on the coach. With a knick knack...

I was pretty gassed ater my lax game. No subs and we play 25 minute quarter. I looked at the couch and decided my ass should be on it. It was atually nice to hang with my boy all day and veg.

As for the bump comp, ALL of ou guys stepped it up. Great skiing and aerials. Looked like a rad day.

THANKS

 

[jarrodski]

It should be very clear now why Steve freakin' cracks me up all the time... :lol:

Great guy. :beer:

Steve's "demo" run was awesome. How do you even get that high off a 18inch tall jump?

 

[jarrodski]

Yesterday was a blast.

end of story.

the point entirely.

See rule # 1

 

[jarrodski]

It's actually a bit more complicated thatn that. Here's the rulebook on falling/turns:

I promise that I never have, nor will read that document. That type of ridgid format is exactly what killed the freestyle movement of the 80's, and exactly why the current crop of Sundown'ers dropped it upon our first day on the jobs.

Over all impression plays the largest part of what we're about. Not stiff, stiffeling rules and calculations. speed, impressive, line choice, impressive, air, impressive, also, SUBJECTIVE. so, the event crew tries to keep the atmosphere low key and light. Which I feel it was. We had a great time and already have in our notes all the AZ'ers feed back so things can get dialed for next time.

We loved having you all and hopefully the weather rebounds and we can get some more weeks of skiing in down here in CT.

Same here! I am just happy with myself for going off that thing. I think I took about 4 practice runs down the course before I worked up the nearve to hit that kicker. On my first attempt I had way to much speed and landed too far down hill. When it came time to race all I could think about was to not build up to much speed into the kicker and I ended up sking REALLY slow. But I had a great time and I am just happy that I entered. I had a blast hanging out on top of the hill with eveyone and watching the runs. It was a really good vibe up.

glad you guys felt teh course was progressive for you. We were pumped to see many 1st airs and felt the vibe that you guys were pumped on the day

 

[jarrodski]

Thanks. Now I have to figure out how to throw a twister in front of it. Some cool shots of you in there too, Chris.

mini park dude. try practicing on small jumps with landings, and with out the bumps afterwards. Once you nail your trick, you can take it to the bumps.

So what ate the Chances that Sundown will bump out Temptor all season next year, and forgoes bumps on Nor'Easter and Exihibition.

That would be freakin sweet!

My wife and I would probably buy seasons passes next year just for that

Now that the big man is online, i want to thank you again bro. the lines up top were absolutely killer, especially the skiers right. Best bumps i've skied all year outside of okemo's seeded run. which btw, was easier! Kickers were perfect and your bullhorn commentary was hilarious. Thanks again, that was the most fun i've had skiing, with the exception of a powder(ish) day at magic, all year.
