GoNads landed the 3rd women's spot. Congrats and I hope you got to your truck before they busted your dog.
Z killed it. Super fast and smooth run.
sweet! ...
Thanks, guys. Now I get to pay more money to ski! Hooray! I am stoked on today's results, and looking forward to Friday's main event. Another day of qualifying on Thursday - hopefully some more mags make it through.
Did you rip in on your Lotus 120's with Dynafits?;)Quote:

:p
Go maggots!
Nice pics. Where did you end up shooting from? I need longer glass for this stuff.
Thanks, the field goal ones were just up around the corner and the others were when I was back with the crowd.
They were with a 2x teleconverter on a 70-200. The quality is not too bad for that setup.
Z absolutely slayed his line. Super smooth and fast. His entire run took 42 seconds.
I have a tendency to slow down before launching rocks. That's the only thing I can come up with for my score being so low (surprisingly and disappointingly low). I stuck all my airs solidly and had a direct fall-line run. Oh well.
I'm gonna grab a 2x. Seems like as long as the light is good the quality holds up. Nice work.
Go......Nads!
From watching your run, I agree. Probably lost points for slowness before airs. Might drop fluidity as well as aggression points. Bummed that you didn't move on.Quote:

Which was stuck clean and skied away. I must just ski like an ugly bastard. :D
I bet it was the spray paint. Sponsors hate that shit.
The thing that's driving me nuts is I got a better score last year when I flaked out and missed my last air (the biggest one). I also finished a mere 1.8 points away from bushwackerinPA (who self admittedly backed out of ALL of his airs and hip checked while skiing).Quote:

Was Crossman on alpine or tele? Looks locked down here, but kind of hard to tell.Quote:
