I'm trying to remember what Jarrod called Gregs first jump on his qualifying run, was something like the running man or something dance!

Had a good time spectating there, good to see everyone. I don't know how you guys do it, but I even felt a little hung over yesterday from watch all the beer you guys drank and I don't even drink!

I got every single run. 20GB of footage. I'm starting to cull through it now. Thanks to the names announcing this year it is much easier (Thanks Jarrod).

I will be putting the times index for each run in the beginning so it will be easy to scroll to any run.

I'm hoping to have it up by tonight.

Can't wait to see the video. Thanks for doing it! :beer:

Sorry we didn't get to chat more during the event. I was impressed by your daughter breaking the ski though. Both of your kids did an awesome job, you should be really proud.

Dork can correct me, but they brought down 4 NorAm competitors from KMS - 2 for 18+ women, 2 for 18+men. The swept the women's top 2, and Tyler Wadham got 2nd in men's. The other guy got Belsky'd and didn't make the top 32.

That's the double edged sword with $3K in cash on the line. It generates a lot of interest, but it also makes things serious for the people that have a reasonable shot at winning.

Belsky'd....:lol: i know its not funny but sorry, that's a new term i'll be using.

actually those 4 were not really full time noram competitors. They've all competed in the Killington NorAm but thats about it (maybe Whiteface). The full timers from the team were all in Finland for Euro Cup and Junior Worlds (Zemba won the duals which gives him an automatic C team bid!)

Knew you'd clear it up. Figured they weren't quite as good as people were talking it up to be when a fairly quick Google of Wadham only turned up a East Regional result from last year.

Cool for Zemba making C team, the kid is scary good. Also explains why there weren't any corks being thrown on OL yesterday with the full timers in Europe.

I figured if it's 10 years until you can joke about a death, two years for being left out of a Sundown bump contest is enough.

regardless, i think you just have to remember where its being held. Its not USSA, Noram, NORAD or whatever. Its sundown. In new hartford ct. yes, there are some benjamins on the line for the better skiers, but for the guys that ski there all year, its awesome to see that kind of talent at sundown. i hope we get the same turnout next year.

 

[moguler6]

I was curious, to I looked them up. Elizabeth and Jeremy both skied 4 NorAms this year. Alta and Tyler both did 1. And despite the rumors flying around that day, turns out Tyler has never skied in a World Cup. Either way, all four are high ranked skiers and damn good. I'm actually surprised it took this long for some of them to show up and that more didn't come.

Thanks again Sundown and Suburban Sports for hosting this. It was tons of fun once again. Can't wait for next year.

unless they reinstate the commemorative T-Shirt i won't be "competing" next year.
