No. To make the towers look closer, I had to back up a lot and use a long lens. But that meant too many heads in the way. Tried down at the ramp, but everyone was spinning the wrong way, so mostly butt photos. Some other angles were okay, but since no one was paying me to be there, I didn't really bother that much. Did you notice if there was a pic in the Calgary Sun the next day?Quote:

It got wicked cold and I bolted after the first group was done. Tanner was actually throwing down some quite nice stuff. I don't think much of him as an actual "skier," but he sure knows that flippy, spinny stuff.
Dude! MORE, MORE, MORE!!!!!!! GOOD PICS!
Didn't even look at the paper yesterday.
Too bad you didn't get the shot you were eyeballing, but these are still pretty cool pics. Love the backflip off the wall.
Thats was that little Mikey guy all of 4' nothing and 14ish- 13ish.Quote:

Yes it was cold but it is a winter sport. There was chunky teen in a t shirt and I was cold in a down jacket.
Two planks- I'm sure we can work out something as I work downtown and live in far NW so right on our way to Cochrane. Your invited for dinner and a few beers, you name the date.
Out in Okotoks, so maybe not quite halfway :)Quote:

Last year Mike Douglas and V Dorian were in the crowd and this year Mike MCed and VD handed out stuff.
Me to Mini: that guys Vincent Dorian
Mini:who
Me: guy in ski movie, the one I said was really short
Mini: you mean the guy dressed like an elf
me: yeah that guy
mini : he is short, he would make a good elf
Doug, that sounds like Tanner. He really is like a kid in a candy shop any time there's rails or jumps to hit. Its pretty amazing that he still has the appetite to hit anything he can. Its funny, people assume he can only ski well enough to get to the end of the jump. I bet people would be amazed if they took just one run w/ him.
I know a LOT of skiers. Some of them are even better than me. :pQuote:

Also, what is this "prolly" that you speak of? Some new Tanner move?
