Good question!

Yo. If you're gonna rock the knee flags and slap on a doo-rag, you better bring your A game. :lol: Thanks for the kind words on my skiing. There were more times than not that I felt totally out of control, but I was determined to come into this day full bore. So easy to just let it fly today. Seriously, that was the best Sundown day ever. Period.

aiight, now that i've had a chance to get the kids in bed, grab a mild buzz and do my chores, i just wanted to elaborate.

For me, this almost brought back memories. Not of sundown, but almost dying memories of bump crews gone past. :lol: seriously, way back in the day, i skied with a crew of guys. always looking for bumps. our springtime right of passage was O.L. at killington. We basically played chicken as to who would cry uncle and go ski the bumps on wildfire first. I think we made it till 3:00 many times. :razz:

Today reminded me of that crew. I wasnt able to stick around for the whole show, but the talent on display, and the run itself, lended itself to that type of mentality. I wouldnt even be skiing at sundown if it werent for those bumps. i cant thank them enough. and hell, if it werent for meeting people on this board, i wouldnt be skiing much either. I was down to 5 times in 2003 total. I kept using my knee surgeries as an excuse. skiing with psychos like you makes you forget that crap.

I'm gonna wake up and be like, wtf was i thinking posting that......

That's some corny ass shit right there....

Ha! Kidding. Really cool post. I was loving the vibe out there today. I told Chris Sullivan at the bottom while he was surveying Gunbarrel that he should be very proud of it. There is nothing like skiing spring bumps with a big group of rippers like that. Nothing.

Seriously, today was quite possibly my best of the season.

somebody please post pics and video already.. wtf is taking so long!

Let me tell you. This is one helluva video. EVERYONE was killing it today. The only AZer I didn't get in there was Grassi. He seemed to be avoiding the camera today. :lol: We needed Gary, mondeo Mike and downhill Jay to make it complete. Don't miss the next one guys!

Vid's compiling and I'll get it uploaded asap. It's a keeper.

Great to see all the AZ'ers out there today. Quite a collection of talent on the hill. Can't wait for next time.

Can always count on "bumping" into you, Mike! I apologize now. I left your name out of the credits, but you have a cameo into the vid.

Just a funny exchange between powhunter and me that I'd thought I'd share:

Greg: "Hey Steve-O, is that 'Slow-Pez' up there?"
powhunter: "Dude, I think it's pronounced 'Slopes'."
Greg: "Oh."
powhunter: Ask him - Hey man, are you Mexican?"

:lol:

The ripper with the ponytail and the old school 200cm Sollys was Shannon from the Race Crew. He also was one of the judges for the January comp.

Today was a fine day indeed. Was half a lap off you guys all day and that was okay as I was at least a half step slow with a sore hammy (but with the soft snow managed to have a few fine moments)... finally caught up but it was time to call it a day to grab some more advil and the kids out of ski school..sorry I missed the group fun but it was a good day just to be lapping gunny.. at whatever speed and in whatever condition. I will say I saw the crew from the chair a few times and people were killing it.....I may take a full week off and see if I can't heal up.

Video

Here's the vid. It's 94% uploaded. Not sure how long it will take to process. Enjoy:

I don't know about that. But there's some damn fine skiing in there. I'm sure I'll get some flack for the soundtrack, but I like it. A couple pretty rockin' tunes, IMO. Sorry, no Dead.

 

[Greg]

BTW brotha 2knees - me and you open up this video. Remember [thread="7300"]who started this shit![/thread]

Nice work fellas.I love little knee banger small bumbs before they get big, deep washboarded and troughy.
Would this pitch be comperable to say lower superstar or organgrinder?
who's the cat with the green pants? nice extra turns there

Looks like some gnar was found and slayed in CT today.

Pitch is like Vertigo at Killington below the headwall. Green pants: 180. Killing it as usual.

sick video. what a day. time to pass out.

 

[powbmps]

Wow! Damn fine skiing is right. The pirate in knee pads is tearing that s**t up :wink:!

But seriously Greg, you are motoring through there. 2knees as well (are those jeans ?). I haven't skied with many of you guys, but it looks like people were stepping it up a notch or two. Well done.

Is there helmet cam footage somewhere?
