Why don't you send slected bits of this thread to Blue mgmn't? The fact of the matter is, you have done one hell of a lot of marketing for Blue this year. I've always driven past it. But, this year I skied there several times and like it a lot. Maybe even get a pass there next year.

I had a great time on Sunday. It was a pleasure to meet all the AZ's. I met some of the AZ's at the top of the course and it was interesting to me how everyone deals with nervousness in a different way. I don't know about you but I get a little nervous at the top of the course.
This was only my 4th or 5th bump competition and the last one was over 5 years ago. It was so much fun I want to compete again.
I didn't get to ski much with all the AZ's; I look forward to skiing with all of you in the near future. I did take two runs with Greg and Johnny at the end of the day. At 6:00pm Greg was on an adrenaline rush from the competition; he didn't look like he was going to run out of steam anytime soon. He was like a kid on Christmas morning but for Greg it was for the entire day. What could I say about Johnny, he is a made man, and he is like a controlled chaos. The guy must have a lower back and legs of steel.
It was fun to watch Dave Adams and the invisible man duel it out at the qualifying run; he skis so fast you couldn't see him.
Sorry about the Robin's knee :-((the wife of the invisible man) we all wish you a fast recovery.
What a great example of a great day. I hope that other ski areas use Sundown mountain as an example, you do not need to be a big mountain to get big results,,,,,,,,,Thanks again Sundown.

OK, here's all my raw footage. Its 30 mins long. If anyone feels like it, I numered each run, If you recognize anyone just reply with who they are and the number of the run. Thanks.

blocked at work but thanks for throwing all that up. cant wait to check it out tonight.
30 minutes.
you must've been dying to get out of there by the end. that seemed to go on forever.
actually we had a blast. Was in no big rush to get home, although we skipped going to a diner and instead just hit up KFC in Torrington. It was half the drive home that we're used to so we still got home well before we usually do (normal arrival time Sunday night is around 11:30 PM)

oh, BTW - I don't have every run, so I apologize if I missed anyone here. Thats why my one request was that they announce who's coming this way I could have been more diligent about getting everyone here. Actually, the run order sheets that they hand out prior to a USSA events are crucial. I have that stuck in the strap of my glove so I know exactly who I'm looking for and when I need to get ready for them.
Is anyone else having trouble getting this to play?

Needs Flash 10.
Of course, I work at a high tech company, so I have IE6 and Flash 7 still.

I might have screwed up. If its not correct, could you search vimeo for Sundown Bump or Bust (that should find it) or skidork and let me know what the correct video ID is and I'll fix the link. Can;t see it at work so I was going blind. Thankx

I thought it was just me, but I can't get it to play on either the forum or direct from Skidorks Vimeo page.
It's the right ID, but when I press play nothing happens. Your other Vimeo videos work...

Why would other Vimeo videos work and not this one??
I already have Flash 10 anyway, as it turns out.
