[RudyGarmisch]

Hopefully they'll try to make a transition to LAND on this year, last years 45 degree down to fucking flat was great.

 

[RudyGarmisch]

Oh, and I guess I'll be there.

 

[zerospinskier]

So do we know how many skiers will be competing?

 

[cobra_commander]

It was only 35 degrees... or so they said.

 

[WONTON]

[WONTON]

[P.J.S.]

How many people are going to spectate tonight? I haven't decided if I am going to check it out or not.

 

[sdfjklioeur]

rain,

not goin

 

[skier_boy26]

weather held out nicely.

but... among the stickiest boxes ever, AND no time at all. snowboarders got so much time. oh well

congrats anders! you deserved it

 

[Brit1275]

Yeah, the time given to skiers vs snowboarders was very lame, but it's to be expected sadly.

Great to see/hug everyone though!

 

[cobra_commander]

fuck I just got home.

 

[Skillz]

Skiers def deserved more time, you guys threw down way harder than any of the borders for sure, the energy was way better with the skiers.

Props to all you guys.

 

[kevywevy]

i got a free purple boarderline t-shirt! *stoked!*

 

[cobra_commander]

you forgot to mention the purple laces too.

but to bad no one did a switch one footer...

but you could tell that the boarders needed more time.

It was not till the final that some of them made it to the end of the rail.

 

[RudyGarmisch]

Why the hell didnt they allow a practice session? That was dumb as shit, Grant was on his way to sticking those 270 ons.

 

[cobra_commander]

where where you Rowen?

 

[NoTeefa]

Am I bummed that I missed this?

 

[ktollefson_1080]

i thought the setup was sick. it was easy to do switch ups and spins off. only bad thing was the wall. which was just kickin u.

 

[zemke]

no

 

[Schoening]

yea definatly not. Grant sucks

 

[NoTeefa]

Yea I didn't think so

 

[skier_boy26]

i didnt want to have to say it myself

 

[j.bird]

I was there shooting, wearing a tan jacket and some jeans.

I KNow what most of you were wearing and who was who but there is a few I didn't know.

I'l post some of the shots.

 

[RudyGarmisch]

Avoiding you, obviously. I was hanging with Caroline.

 

[NoTeefa]

Please don't, I don't want to see any of these guys skiing. It'll make me lose faith that skiing is actually cool

Good one Douglas

lawd of merrrrcy

 

[cobra_commander]

Kohl made it to the end of the rail three times, one of which he washed out, but he was a stylish wash out, Grant never quite got to the part that makes it a dragon rail instead of a rainbow. and it was not stylish.

 

[dlite!]

yo did i get 2nd or third? i was blacked out by the end of the competiotn.

Here are a few shots from the throwdown. I forgot my other flash at my house, so I only had one, and was having a hard time getting enough power to freeze the motion.

I had to delete a FUCKLOAD for motion blur.

 

[cobra_commander]

my personal favorite

 

[j.bird]

I fucking hate that photo, but I left it in there anyway.

the light on the helmet is super hot, and the dudes style is kinda whack.

 

[ronalddregan.]

park crew chris has some of the dopest riding style ive ever seen.

 

[j.bird]

he might, but the timing of the photo and his position in this photo wouldn't show that.

 

[skibum193]

thats park crew chirs?? doesnt look like it...

 

[dlite!]

shaped rails are wack
