FUCKKK....
I'm still debating on whether to hit the pocket->middle rock->field goal or just do the line I was practicing with Jared. I feel like I have a fucking brick in my stomach. You line was defiantly top 20, I mean we practiced the shit out of field goal and that pic shows your form is good.

It is dumb that they let you slow down into the pocket (or whatever that center air is called), but not dead tree air.

Oh well, guess it's time to sack up and give it a go. I'll grab your scorecard tomorrow if I see it and let you know what it says,

Yeah Z! Way to kill it. Bummer about the score J. Next time for sure. And Go-Nads as well. Good luck to the boys from Whistler tomorrow. Can't wait to check out the action on Friday.

Sheesh, not looking good for it to happen today, at least from down here. Should be some fun skiing though. See y'all up there!

Sam and Athan run today, but viz is gonna be shit, it's supposed to puke. I ate shit hard. Made a right hander after my air into the choke and caught a shark, knocked me off my feet, caught a stump to the chest and a rock to the kidney, time for more armour... Run felt solid and fast up till then though, next time I guess.

girl that won yesterday is actually a US mogul team member. She shreds, but this is the first one of these contest she's ever even been to, let alone competed in. I'm stoked to see her shred on Friday. Way to go Emiko.

Don't worry, that shot I took of you in sunbowl was pic of the day yesterday on Biglines:fmicon: and the "cash or crash" method always feels better if you don't move on. Nice to see Matty GT in 2nd, he's going to kill it if he stays on his feet. I predict a strong Whistler showing this year. Nice work Nads for 3rd in the womens; you go girl!

Props to the mags I don't know who are competing!

nice work BumZ!! Radness!

J & BushwackerinPA -- Bummer dudes. Like Kush said maybe you can still try and get your score cards tomorrow or something.

Can't wait to see the results of today's qualifier.

sounds like about as good conditions as you can get for a comp. Atrain and Sam have been killing it lately and will do well if they pull out the A game. Good luck to all and look forward to watching many maggots compete in the finals! Those competing who feel like it should post up their name so we know who is who on the start list.

Fuck yeah it's Pat's Peak, NH. Gotta represent my home mountain. Moved out here for winters last year. But figured 16 years of skiing and 8 years of racing at Pat's Peak justified the shout out over 2 winters at Alta. See you all out there tomorrow. Loved watching today. SEND IT!

Props to all the mags who skied today. I heard Bobby Lee's line was absolutely nuts. I saw Zippy as a TDQ. I imagine he must've gone for something insane given what we see in 666's TR's.

JakeCast just missed the cut by a fraction of a point. He also picked up my scores today and found a nice big error (not enough to make the cut, but still annoying).

Judge 4 added up 6+6+5+5+5 as 22. I've just learned that those numbers actually equal 27.

Here' are pics of the score cards. I was bib 213. My real score was 27.125 instead of 25.88. I guess the moral of the story is to ski better, but also to go pick up your score card or find someone who can go get it for you.

Last year at KW's qualifiers, I was 19 or 20th or something, and I qualified so I was happy and didn't care, but when I home I added up the cards and their math was wrong and I should have been two points higher, which would have put me like 9th or 10th. If that mistake would have resulted in me missing the cut I would have been piiissssed. Do you think you have an argument to get in still?

If they make mistakes in the negative, I'm guessing mistakes are sometimes made in the positive too.

The only other time I've picked up my cards there was also an error. I didn't notice it, but frozen did and it moved me up a couple of places.

I'm not worried about getting in. There may have been a mistake, but I still didn't earn it. I'll go for it again next year and come with a rowdier line. That was the real mistake. I would love to compete on Silver Fox and North Baldy. Conditions are prime for some big hucking. That's really my forte. I'm not the best crud skier/most fluid guy. I like to huck.

Is Moles on those one-off rockers you made for him?

Here's the start list for tomorrow, super stacked field, but strange not to see Garbiel, Tabke and many of the usual Frenchies (i.e. Coirier, Chicherit, Ducroz, etc.) in there who competed in the Euro FWT events:

Looks our man Bobby got a little photo here with the 192's. Who's that wearing Aegix next to him? Athan?

I'm in! can't believe i pulled it off today, but somehow i did. nothing spectacular as far as big hucks and chucks but felt i skied clean and smooth. even one score card said.."clean and smooth"

can't believe i'll be competing wih the likes of greener, moles, berg, and who knows who else. not expecting being in finals or anything, but maybe a sickbird nomination could be cool.

good luck to all my fellow competitors and mags!

Good luck to everyone tomorrow! Silverfox is a SICK venue, nice steep take off's and landings, and soft to boot. Brap brap!
