Sundown Bump or Bust III - 3/22/09

[2knees]

If you didn't have those two bobbles, it would have been really close. He probably would have still gotten it given the 3's, but your skiing/speed was right with him. Again, doing that well against a 23 year old 3 seed was pretty damn impressive.

nah, the 3's would've been an overwhelming factor. I would've had to have had a perfect run and beaten him significantly on speed and i still doubt that would've swayed the judges.


i find it ironic that i hacked down that bottom line though. It's probably the easiest zipper i've ever done and was nailing it sunday and tuesday. couldnt do it with the pressure on though. GAG

You stayed upright this time at least. I'm very proud of you.

Brian - I was disappointed I got so little of your run. Sorry about that.

No worries, I was actually kinda glad you didn't get more..

i bet jarrod is done before brian! :razz:

Most likely.

I hear ya there! I was nailing sections of the course in the week prior, but choked hard during the competition. I keep telling my self that was because they were bigger than the Wednesday prior...

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.

Thanks for coming out. Glad you had fun. It was definitely nice meeting you and skiing with you. You rip!

"Controlled chaos"! :lol:

oh, of course I'll put in whatever captions you've given me instead of the numbers..

Brian - I was disappointed I got so little of your run. Sorry about that.

And mondeo - same with your run, I didn't get any of it.

Plus others...

I needed my runsheet!

I'm the one with the "I don't know who this is" commentary. :lol:

I'm making the high res version now. Its 1.3G

 

[SkiDork]

oh, not sure if anyone remembers when Sean broke his pole and they sent ski patrol looking for it. They thought he broke it when he fell after the 2nd kicker and searched there but couldn't find it (the bottom half).

Iceman looked at that run and said "No, he broke it between the 1st and 2nd kicker" - and if you look closely he's right. He said he actually ran it over on a subsequent run. Anyone else run it over?

BTW - I sent Greg a link to the high res file.

Post up the "2kness" video at least!

I just sent him the raw footage of his runs, which amounted to about 2 minutes and a little over 400MB. Not exactly bandwidth friendly. I'll put something up eventually, maybe some nice summer stoke. :lol:

Get working on that Nor'easter footage from 2006-07 first... :roll:

 

[SkiDork]

A coach told me yesterday that the video I put up on Broadbandsports is still not working. I'll have to remember to take a look at it tonight.

yeah, that was pretty wierd. i downloaded dorks entire 30 minute vid in 8 minutes. When i started on your download last night, it was running at 370ish and still was saying over 35 minutes. i went to bed and watched it in the morning. thanks again though. my kids wanted to know why i lost the race to the "mean guy in the yellow jacket" :lol:
