Cpt. Insane-O strikes again! Represent the Bro's :fmicon:

Kirkwooders?



Geaff Small is back, huh? It'll be cool if he does kirkwood.

All hands stand to! The Captain is on the deck!

Nice to see Larry top spottin the masters as well.
Some of those old guys never give up.

birfday boy: Craigers is headin to Verbier, compliments of Aldo.

Masters? That's pretty cool. What age does that start?

Hitting up the Verbier Ride? Cool shit, I know Warren, who runs that show, real well - cool guy, awesome coach and rad skier. And he puts on a good comp, never heard anyone who's competing complain of anything at any of W's shows that the man himself can directly influence.

Ohh...and Verbier is hella fun, so its hard to not have a good time there whatever happens.

That is fuggin awesome. That means that Craigers will be in all 3 World Tour Events. He's already got a top 10 finish at Snowbird (+ the Sick Bird award) with some points under his belt, he almost always gets top 10 at Kirkwood (and dare I say a top 5 this year?), so if he get some points in Yurp I bet we'll see Kirkwood Craig near the top of the final world tour results. How cool would that be?

Tyrone - Verbier isn't part of WT. It is on the Yurp tour, but no the WT.

Unless Splat meant Les Arcs? Which kicks off in the next few days I think, and is the WT stop over here.....

hmmm....hopefully it's the Les Arcs event (which might make sense if he's missing this weekend's CB event to be over there). Would love to see this guy do well in the overall standings.

Looks like the Captain went down with the ship again.

But I just know he's gonna float that boat one of these days. :rolleyes2

Man-- a lot of heavy hitting ladies call the Butte their home

CB has a great history of supporting great skiers. Gina Kroft did a lot for the extreme/freeride scene, more than anyone, by starting it all with Frank Coffee way back when and supporting the growth of the circuit.

That's just dumb. Incredibly dumb. Good job Jesse, you deserve it. So do you live in Niwot or Crested Butte??? LOL. :rolleyes:

It would be pretty cool to read an article about the history of that......

:eek:GABE ROBBINS:eek:

KILLING IT!!

This makes me so happy. Gabe Robbins has killed it in obscurity for a long time.
He was an awesome coworker, and was one of those guys who would take a new guy and show you the good lines. A true champion ski bum.

There was a pretty amazing group of skiers working in the Crested Butte rental shop in the mid 90s...Gabe, Shroder Baker, Gerrit Van Schaick(sp??), Dean Davis...it made every day's ski break another incredible show of talent. Great to see these guys breaking through!!
:yourock:

Jesse's got a reputation as a hucker b/c, honestly, he goes huge. This year he's been proving that he can kill it stomping high speed creative big contest lines too. He killed it in taos and now crested butte too. way to be

Super cool, humble kid too. Skied with him down at CB this year, couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.

There's always someone better waiting in the wings.............

Thanks for the idea, Ty. I kinda have a unique perspective on it because I worked with them to bring a second competition beyond CB to Kirkwood back in the day. After finding out just what a jerk our beloved team leader at Kirkwood was, I bailed. KW came back and asked me to do the contest a second year and I said forget it. Chaco Mohler then got Southwest Airlines to sponsor KW's first contest. I think it slipped away one year but has been going off since. And that's good for the rippers.

Can anybody confirm that the Scott Kennett who finished 3rd in the Masters Men category is the same Scott Kennett from The Good, The Rad and The Gnarly, owner of Zudnick, etc., etc.?

If so, props to an old school skier who's still out there crankin' turns. :cool:

yup, you sure do...that's why I posted to plant the seed for ya (if you didn't already have it). I remember you telling me some stories about the original KW event, and you also have some history on CB...seems all you'd have to do is get some quotes from McSchlonk about the beginnings of IFSA and you'd have something that could be pretty cool. And since KW is now the World Tour Finals venue, it would be interesting to see how it got to become that way, from the beginning...or something.

Not too many Utah boys in that list, how come? :rolleyes:

Lessee. Because someone. from Colorado. with an insecurity issue. who likes to beef the utah boys. and who has a penchant for making up aliases. needed to poke a jab at the utards?

Or CA, WA, WY or anywhere outside of Crested Butte for that matter. I don't recall the Buttians dominating it like this in years past?

Last 4 men's winners: Willy Mushen, Jack Hannan, Gary Hicks, Jesse Hall, all out of cb. This contest has the biggest home field advantage of any contest I know because it is so treed, rocky, and often thin. Local knowledge and a local style (buttians stick out like a sore thumb in utah and Jackson) really helps in this event, IMO.

The next World Tour stop in France this week makes scheduling both contests a bitch for some skiers.
