ahh very nice,

thanks for posting that

 

[Greg]

ahh very nice,

Yeah.....real nice. Especially when your name shows up 4 times.... :roll:

 

[MRGisevil]

Oh cool- thanks Greg. That makes my life a little easier when putting together the overall video. It's going to be in a lot of parts. There's a TON of footage. I'm going to put the men's preliminary runs up tonight. It's over 6 minutes. I just got lazy last night and decided to play super smash brothers instead of finishing it :lol: flame on...

 

[2knees]

i didnt see Steve's dual run. what happened on that one?

When johnnypoach, steve and i were there on friday, i honestly thought steve'o was gonna run away with it. He was absolutely killing it.

 

[MrMagic]

Yeah.....real nice. Especially when your name shows up 4 times.... :roll:

 

[Greg]

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.

I see your priorities are still all screwed up. As I understand it, you and Tim had a deal that you both would compete. Tim did it and you.....well.....welched. Lame. :roll:



Thanks for the kind words though. You should have made the effort to come and hang. Pat's and my wife and kids were there for a while. The vibe up on Temptor was great.

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

18 inches?! Come on man....that kicker was 5 or 6 feet high, at least...

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

God, I hope so. I'm hiking for those bumps if you close...

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

I think the course was perfect. The upper bumps were big and legit. Again no faking it up there. The kicker was manageable but still allowed for decent airs. The landing slope was perfect. A finish line would have helped, but I think ending the comp in that "area" was appropriate. The only drawback is it's not clearly visible from the base, but whatcha gonna do...? Is it possible to fence off a "pedestrian lane" with carpeting perhaps up to Lower Temptor to encourage spectators? I'd imagine not with all the skier traffic in the area...

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.

Here's a suggestion. How about a few small tabletop jumps on the upper flats of Temptor next year? That's kind of a dead zone anyway. Maybe build some jumps at the Temptor/Exhibition merge like we have now sooner?

I just got lazy last night and decided to play super smash brothers instead of finishing it :lol: flame on...

:angry:

Kidding. I appreciate you doing these vids. That vantage point was great.

.

No way, that kicker was atleat 10 feet tall

 

[Greg]

Come on Tim. :roll: Stop exaggerating. I pulled a frame out of my video and using some very scientific extrapolation and based on the rake visible in the image below, I determined the kicker was roughly 8' 9" high:

Now....considering the landing zone was so steeply pitched, it's quite possible that some of us were probably closing in on 40 feet of air or so...

My initial estimate of 10 feet was just guess. I just used your photo and some of my fancy architectural software for analysis and I would agree with that the kickjer was about 8'-9" high.

Cool. I wasn't 100% sure. Glad to see my method was close. Thanks for confirming.
