You missed the party of a lifetime Particle....It was off the hook, and can't really be put into words. I'll let SC1776 explain it all in detail. Lets just say our crew woke up at 8:00 AM this morning in the Armada house... I'm still hungover.

Thanks to everyone who showed up. It was our best show ever. Uncle E did a kick ass job. Sarah Burke looked HOT! as always. The St. Regis rocked. ESPN cameras were roaming the venue. And we even had a snowboarder on stage; Gov had a friend accept his award, and give it to Darian Boyle. It was a classy move, even if the heckling from the crowd wasn't.

We're planning to have DVDs of the entire event, acceptance speaches and all, available on the Powder to the People Tour. Limited edition.

Word, Stryker. The skiers make it all happen. They are the stars and the reason why we do the show. Our little way of showing some appreciation. It's the only event Primedia let's us take a loss on.

Pierres cliff huck was in High Life right? or is that the top secret pro version of focused that isn't availble to the general public

Blurred Elevens · 01-25-2004, 03:33 PM

Kevin- It was good to meet you. (thanks for not beating my ass

)

Your awards show was amazing! You guys did an excellent job, and I know that the crew I was with had a night they'll NEVER forget. CS 1776 is going to throw up a TR tonight or tomorrow.

D-are you going to be with the rest at Barkleys in Frisco tomorrow? -Brett

One of the first few clips in the credits of focused he throws 1.5 lincolns off the same cliff.

Yeah Sage!

**ulty_guy** · 01-25-2004, 06:20 PM

congrats, TGR!

Why isn't Kent Kreitler listed for anything? He OWNED this year. Tossed and stuck a bigger variety of tricks in gnarlier terrain than Sage. Sage is beyond sick, but Kent was out of his head this year.

Wow, I never thought of that, but you are so right MD9.
He's kind of been mediocre in the past, but I'd have to agree with you that his segments this year showed that he stepped up his shit REALLY HARD, and that should'nt be overlooked, and he deserves some accolades. Good insight.

He was nominated for Best Male, but we felt Sage's segment was stronger for a couple of reasons.

1) It seems like Kent has more variety, but only because of the front flip and backflip, which aren't very technical or progressive. The rest of his tricks are 3s and 7s, and they're all spun natural. Sage is linking up more than one trick per line, and he's spinning both directions, which is very difficult. He also has big park tricks; switch take-offs, landings, and carves; and rails.

2) Kent didn't have the big lines that Sage has, especially the AK line he got nominated for Best Line for. We know Kent can ski those, but he didn't have them on film this year.

We had a good idea it would be Kent or Sage early on, and asked a lot of people, including people at TGR, and settled on Sage.

It was definitely going to be between those 2, but you can't convince me otherwise. It seemed like Sage didn't get upside-down once in the entire flick. Most of his unnatural spins and switch stuff went down in the park not big mountain. Kent's corked 7 was as stylie as they get, off a huge cliff and stuck smoov. I think he had more tricks, rotated on more axisies (sp?), and generally kicked more ass. Too bad his tricks weren't the trendy (look I spun to the right instead of the left kind).
