i thought it was sick, almost everyone was in a good mood and there were some kids throwin down pretty hard. who was there?
 
1 jump, 35 feet or so, nice step down w a long lander except nobody was landing because it was so soft/choppy and a second knuckle formed halfway down the lander so if you dropped in from high enough you would land on it. there were some 9s, a lot of 7s, a bunch of 5s. then there was a rail comp w a box to box transfer and a down rail. i dont know what happened cuz i was fuckin tired from hiking the god damn jump and went home.
 
the jump was small, and had a shittty landing with so much ice, and moguls. the transfer up gap to down box, was sorta lame for a jam, and the down rail was cool, except it had a huge donkey dick at the end of it, and was a bit sticky...

other than that a great time.
 
haha holy shit the landing was so sketchy, and kids were going like, 1 right after another so if you fell there was a very good chance of getting tagged by the person behind out. sooo many people were dropping way too low and not making the lander too... like all day. i couldnt figure out why kids were still starting that low after slamming on the knuckle repeatedly.
 
it was pretty fun, I'm surprized no one got too extremely messed up considering many people were going right after others and falling and the box gap that kept growing when people slammed into the second box
 
I have a shitload of vide form it, but I won't be posting it for a bit because I'm busy... hopefully tomorrow.
 
I got a ton of it, really of who I filmed, then I got all of finals. Only jumps though.
 
I'll never enter that comp. agian. Aside from meeting and chilling with really cool new people, it was a dangerous junk show asking for someone to get seriously hurt. The people running the event (the announcer mainly) didn't do jack shit to warn people of someone crashing on the landing or loose gear or to regulate the people at the top so it wasn't a free-for-all session.
 
that is true, the announcer did little more than insult everyone that he didnt know and laugh at all the kids who werent that good knuckling the landing.
 
its cause the announcer was getting drunk the whole time cause it was our spring fling at PSU, he was just screwing off. and he said it early in the morning "dont be so serious up there" the comp is all about just messing around, its not a hard core event.
 
Even then he should have stepped in and told people not to go when there was clearly shit on the landing or people getting a little dangerous with jumping one right after another. Him joking I don't care about, it's the safety of the riders I care about and I'm calling it right here that if they don't improve next year, someone will be seriously hurt and they will get the shit sued out of them for negligance.
 
the one who the announcer told could not stand where he was standing and had to move?... because that was kind of funny

but honestly there was some super dangerous shit, that kid who got snaked early on and ended up judo kicking half the crowd in the face as he attempted to stop himself from going off the jump, and then i also saw some kid literally get gapped. he knuckled, and some other dude who obv dropped from way above went over him. just a lot of really crazy almosts/close calls.
 
nick i thought u were hurt, but then i saw that switch shifty 7 i was like...thats so martini.

wait was that you?
 
I had a near death experience on the left side of the landing. Anyone get that on film?

I was rocking a blue UMaine hockey shirt and taking stills.. The gallery is here >> http://www.iesthetic.com/hikeandhuck/

Don't expect too much. That situation made me scared for my life so most of the pictures aren't anything special.
 
what was w all the gapers too, i think of the 130 kids there... 40 of them didnt even drop, they just kinda chilled at the top of the inrun
