Seldom Seen: cool to meet you... sorry we didn't get to ski
I think the form was good considering the sketchball entry and takeoff.Quote:

Yes, handheld with a Canon Powershot A610 point and shoot. Handholding wasn't my issue though... low light->low shutter speed... I shoulda bumped the ISO and taken the noise hitQuote:

Well done Max, that's a legit air in those conditions.
Nice steeze halo boy. Impressive.
He has really improved a whole lot over the last two seasons. Nice work, Max. That pow shot is great! :yourock:Quote:

Negative reenforcement goes a long way.

This thread is stoke compliant.
just wanted to chime in that over the years this guys' taken a ton of abuse, but his positive attitude has always been pretty incredible. i called that his level of stoke would, if he didn't kill himself, result in good things (he didn't quite appreciate my well-intentioned comment at the time).
anyway, it's awesome to see him still getting after it, despite the injuries / haters / setbacks. the photos posted clearly show that the abilities are stepping up to match the enthusiasm.
hope you have a great season, and thanks for posting this. (nice sequence, summit -- always love those PS stitches.)
Way to get after it Max and crew!
You got some goods I am jealous of.
Great write up. Thanks.
And I'm glad to see you're learning to appreciate all the aspects in this fine sport.Quote:

It WAS a good weekend, now wasn't it?!
Next time tell goldenboy and I when you're coming to CB!
Yeah, a lot of people get intimidated by my buck-thirty five pounds until they get to know me. I guess that's the price I pay for being so huge. ;):D Next time say what's up...Quote:

Nice work on showing the JONGs how to post a TR proper!
Way to represent Maggots :yourock:
This thread seems to have put everyone in a happy place.
Thanks mucho for the stoke!!! Good call...
It's not the size of the man, but his commanding presence that matters... I'll take note next time. Looking to be there 5 weeks from now again, so I'm sure I'll see you guys.Quote:

Now if only we could get some snow on #4 headwall...!!!) I'm hoping this is the beginning of a good season for Young Maxwell.
Dude, if I was looking, you'd be a great wingman- "Go talk to that girl man, you've got commanding presence, you got it" :D Maybe see ya in a few weeks.Quote:

On another note, Goldenboy - i'm gonna be down in CB for the last days of ski free - prob the 14th or 16th if you are gonna be around. How did that storm fill things in down there?
Awesome TR gosey!! well written and the anticipation for the huck pics was well deserved. SOLID on your part. Kepp it up.
I'll probably be around. That storm was, for all intents and purposes, the very first one of the year. It helped out huge, but TNF/Headwall/frontside need another big dump before they have any chance of opening. I didn't get out today, but I was expecting the Twister runs to open possibly today. Without any more snowfall between now and then, I would expect everything but TNF/HW/FS to be open. If this weekend's storm ends up being another good one, they could have at least the headwall open.Quote:
