Nice job Z. Good luck today.
Yeah mags. Kick some ass.
Some quality skiing on some shitty snow:

Looks like a lot of big names in this one. Jamie Blair of Aegix made the cut. Woot Woot!! I don't see Tabke listed anywhere.
I am pretty sure that the guy half way through wearing a black jacket and grey pants hitting the double is Z
Didn't hear any Z news yet... But Kate O and Janesaw advanced to the Super Final. Hell yes...
Glad you guys like the video. I didn't have much time to make anything fancy, but it definitely has some of the best skiing from yesterday. The guy in the bright red suit who stomps the double is Tyson Bouldec (also the helmet cam shots), right after he does his double the guy in black and grey that stomps the high consequence double is Z.
We just got back from the final and it was sick. French guy won, and the kid who was the north face young gun last season should get the sick bird for a super smooth 60' back flip (I think he posts here, right?). Janesaw and Kate O did really well and might have each gotten on the podium, but I'm starting the todays movie and not at the awards so I'm not sure.
We should have videos up sometime tonight again.
Tabke was supposed to be in Swiss-land for the month until the events cancelled, so he was wait listed for T-ride, but no spots opened.Quote:

Anyone there from the Aspen crew besides the ladies?
Definately! HUDGE KUDOS you guys! Way to represent!Quote:

So one person said it was Alto that tossed the 60 foot back, and another said a spot didn't open for him...so which was it?
Not sure. I could be wrong after filming all day and listening to announcers for 6 hours, but either way the 60' back was tits.
drew was at snowbird yesterday...
Wierd. The announcers were definitely saying "the winner of last years North Face Young Gun award...), but maybe I heard wrong.

and congrats Z and Dside and any other mags that entered!
Edit: hey robokill...whos the dude at the very beginning of yesterday's vid that goes monstrous right out of the gate? that was damn sick.
I was wondering the same thing. That was huge...Quote:

Good job, Z. Really awesome.
WTG Z!!!!
"Ya, I kinda like hucking into bumpfields. Good training and shit."

Heh. Even MORE proud now to say that I've skied with the both of you. Well more like chased you down the mountain and gasped for air at the bottom, but that's more of a technicality than anything.
Nice fucking work. Congrats to both of you! Hope to make some turns with you guys soon!
Yes, that was indeed muy, muy picante....I think it was Chris TatsunoQuote:

It ended up working for me, my skis stayed on and that’s about all I can be thankful for right now.”
Props to both Z and D-side for getting after it!
Also, good editing on the video bitches. ALL of us need to get together and ride SOON.
