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

I wish I would've helmet cammed it now. No question I slowed down pretty good before each air, but I basically only finished ahead of people who wrecked/checked. I know I didn't slow down THAT much.

It definitely appears that speed would be the key.

its was 4 points jared and yes you should of killed my score(by much more)....literally so nervous I was about ready to throw up or something on top. coming down the course it look like a different hill, traverse lines, bumps, crud piles all of which werent there 24 hours prior.

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....

Sure here is the Gallery you should find a bunch of sizes there. There are also a few additional pictures but I was being pretty lazy today.

You looked good and fast up top Bushwacker, it just looked like you got lost through the middle a bit. Your nerves will be better next time.

Sorry to bring up the experience, but after you'd told me how it went and how you felt (and then saw us that close on the sheet) it seemed odd. 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.

We'll have to make some more turns in the spring once things close down up north. It's always fun skiing around with you guys.

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:

**JakeCast** · 03-19-2008, 10:42 PM

FUCKKK....
I'm still debating on whether to hit the pocket->middle rock->field goal or just do the line I was practicing with Jared. I feel like I have a fucking brick in my stomach. You line was defiantly top 20, I mean we practiced the shit out of field goal and that pic shows your form is good.

It is dumb that they let you slow down into the pocket (or whatever that center air is called), but not dead tree air.

Oh well, guess it's time to sack up and give it a go. I'll grab your scorecard tomorrow if I see it and let you know what it says,
Jake

**Daywalker** · 03-19-2008, 10:46 PM

Damn, wish I could be there to watch this go down. Way to go Z!

**Deep Days** · 03-19-2008, 11:19 PM

Allright, Z! Sorry to hear about the discrepancies there, J. And good on ya for competing, Bushwhacker!

Best of luck to JakeCast, sam, Atrain, and the other maggots tomorrow.

**grizzle6** · 03-19-2008, 11:23 PM

Yeah Z! Way to kill it. Bummer about the score J. Next time for sure. And Go-Nads as well. Good luck to the boys from Whistler tomorrow. Can't wait to check out the action on Friday.

**Shepherd Wong** · 03-20-2008, 07:43 AM

Sheesh, not looking good for it to happen today, at least from down here. Should be some fun skiing though. See y'all up there!

**Mr. Altagirl** · 03-20-2008, 07:57 AM

Way to go Mike and Nadia! Sandy (SandytheSkier on the board) qualified yesterday as well, you go girl. Keep it smooth and fast Mike, just like a normal day back around the corner.

Sam and Athan run today, but viz is gonna be shit, it's supposed to puke. I ate shit hard. Made a right hander after my air into the choke and caught a shark, knocked me off my feet, caught a stump to the chest and a rock to the kidney, time for more armour... Run felt solid and fast up till then though, next time I guess.

**word929** · 03-20-2008, 09:28 AM

girl that won yesterday is actually a US mogul team member. She shreds, but this is the first one of these contest she's ever even been to, let alone competed in. I'm stoked to see her shred on Friday. Way to go Emiko.

Don't worry, that shot I took of you in sunbowl was pic of the day yesterday on Biglines

and the "cash or crash" method always feels better if you don't move on. Nice to see Matty GT in 2nd, he's going to kill it if he stays on his feet. I predict a strong Whistler showing this year. Nice work Nads for 3rd in the womens; you go girl!

Props to the mags I don't know who are competing!

**Tyrone Shoelaces** · 03-20-2008, 09:49 AM

nice work BumZ!! Radness!

J & BushwackerinPA -- Bummer dudes. Like Kush said maybe you can still try and get your score cards tomorrow or something.

Can't wait to see the results of today's qualifier.
