Ski Sundown - Bump or Bust Mogul Comp - 1/22/11

[bvibert]

Nice video Skidmarks!

I'm sorry I didn't get to the demo tent before the comp. I was hoping he'd still be there when it was over...

EDIT - I looked way more feeble in my duel against Bart than I felt....

The double pole plant at 2:30 sealed the win for you, no doubt. :lol: :razz:

Seriously, you looked good. Think about how far you've come and keep it in perspective.

Thanks... At least I won a duel... 8)

In my mind I wasn't turning as much and was going much faster than I actually was. Shannon commented that I looked timid, even for me. I was wondering if he was watching the right guy, but I guess he was right. Need to pick it up a notch next time... and stop being such a big wuss about the airs. Those kickers were actually like the perfect size for me, but the landing had me all sketched out...

I must say, that it turned out to be not quite as bad as I thought it was in my head. Perhaps if I had ever tuned my skis so that they was something resembling sharp edges on them I wouldn't have been as freaked out... :-?

Live and learn. I do need to get those things tuned though...

 

[Greg]

If you guys notice, Joe F would wedge a bit after landing which helped him scrub some speed but staying in line. Something to remember for next time. I learn a little bit each time.

And congrats on the duel win Brian definitely. Something I'm still waiting to do, but considering I lost mine to the 2nd place finisher (and didn't get totally smoked), I'm satisfied.

demo'ing the f17s really screwed with my head.

early in the day i hit the kicker on my nordica and slid like crazy.

when i hit the kicker on with the f17 i really noticed improved grip with the edges

knowing this really had me over-thinking it when i was looking down at the course before the comp runs with my skis

 

[gmcunni]

is there a list of winners + prizes? i saw that Killington Joe got a helmet and ski rack, what did others get?

 

[MogulQueen]

Great to seeing everyone again! AZ has definately has brought up their game. If we work a little on the airs , me especially, I think we can get those out of towners :razz: Carrie, thanks for all the pictures. You really brought out the best in all of us. Oh yeah, and let's not forget about the whoopee pies:beer: For the dude who asked about prizes, mine rocked...2nd place women won a sweet pair of googles!

Yep the big guy has tightened up his stance and going more direct, I noticed that the last time we were out. Good going!!

I don't know if such a lift exists, Jarrod would be the only one who might possess it (they were working off of a list written with marker on a scrap of cardboard that day, so I think that's as official of a list as it got). From what I can remember; Madriverjack got a sweet set of goggles for 18-39 2nd place, 2knees got some sunglasses for 3rd place, female 3rd place got a pile of soft goods, mogulqueen got goggles for 2nd place, the male under 18 winner got some nice looking poles and a hat. I don't remember the rest, I was too busy devouring some awesome fried chicken during the ceremony... 8)

 

[bvibert]

A great event! Lots of fun!

Is that guy at 1:23 a Suburban guy? If so he owes me royalties for using my patented dumper air on that run. I was so disheartened that someone else used my move before I could make my run that I just couldn't make myself try any tricks for the rest of the day...

Yup, that was me, Mamma Sundown. Funny, I haven't gotten any more call for gigs after that commercial :-o It was fun doing it. My only issue with it was that I was promoting the creature comforts of Sundown i.e. "WiFi and Coffee ". I don't even drink coffee. Yuck! And as for staying inside......no way, well, maybe for a beer with friends:beer:
