Gooooo Z! Congrats.

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:

You know you just have to go fast as hell and send your airs..... to bad buddy...Quote:

Jared you are the man and that line was good you really should ask the judge whats yours scores were.
You should have been able to get your score cards at the meeting in the afternoon when they announced the top people and gave results. Of course they may have held off on that so that the people running tomorrow can't see line scores...... (no clue not there) The cards usually have a few notes on them too....Quote:

On the score link it has me at a 25.88 and you at a 24 (less than 2 points apart). My line wasn't anything special, but the score did catch me off-guard.Quote:

I had to head-out to pick up the little one from school so I didn't get my score card.
Here's a nice pic of 2nd place mathieu going large:
