supposedly its going to be a pretty gnar setup, hence the invite onlyness

If you think you've got what it takes you could ask Krush to put you in like I did.
 
don't want to let the cat out of the bag butttt i heard its a down flat down. 12 feet down...9 foot flat...13 down. its i think a somewhat wide rail is what krush made it sound like. and they are covering the first set of stairs down and the flat with snow but not the bottom set of stairs...to get the "urban" look

 
hmmmm unless things change, i hope they bump the skiers to saturday as well. It may require a large schedule revision, but well, a storm on sunday would fuck us over
 
Krush is youth events manager at snoqualmie (currect me if his title is something different).

But yea, that forecast is looking no good for sunday.
 
some jonas guy won...ekunz got second? third? did they take away second place?

but anywaysssss.......Grant should of won cuz he killed the fuck out of the rail and coby trudell should of got second
 
jonas definetly deserved it. He did every trick grant did, plus more. and kunz's switch lip to switch up was money. the order of things was on point. gotta factor in style kids.
 
chris had fucking smooth switch ups.....zach d has ill rail style so watching him slide it straight is good on its own.
 
How much more did he really do? I thought he was good, but Grant's 270 on switchup (that he did twice) was pretty sweet. I'm pretty sure he also did a 270 lip which looked pretty clean too.

I dont know, if anything, Grant shouldn't have walked away with absolutely nothing. I think it should have been a tie.
 
best crash: tie, coby and tim durtchi(SP?)

i hate that they got rid of second, they should have done second and third places, and since they didn't they should have but out and given coby a tie for best trick for the 3 switch-up.
 
Yeah $3000 is a lot of money. Lowering 1st to $2000 would have still been a pretty good prize, and they couldve in turn added a 2nd and 3rd place.
 
I have my reservations as to how it was judged as well, but all I really know is, I had a fucking good time and I'm glad I didn't get hurt
