i wana c a replay!!!
Alright guys, I just actually got back from San Francisco, and read through this whole thread.
This event was eh.. iono. It was very incredible and then very horrible.
Pros:
-Skiing event in november, in SF (which is super close to my home) With the most incredible backdrop ever...
-LOTS of free swag and shit... I think I came home with about 8 free shirts from like, sessions and smith and a bunch of ski resorts.
-TONS of giveaways for skis and goggles and really expensive swag.. also big fat heli trips to BC and AK.
-Tony Hawk and Johnny Moseley (Love em or hate em) still showing that they can pull off some pretty impressive stuff.
-Hot chicks. Lots and LOTS of hot chicks. It was like the vegas strip in some areas haha.
-Awesome bands. Ladytron was pretty sick, I must admit. Its not my favorite, but pretty cool to see live nevertheless. Jurrasic 5 was really freaking awesome too, but there were times at which during the concert that I would peer over and really want to watch the skiing rather than a concert. Also, during the concert they added quite a bit of snow coverage to the landing, so it did make it better... kinda...
-Injured athletes still showing up. JJ Thomas, CR, and Ashley Battersby were all there still, even though they werent competing at all due to injury. I give props to them for coming out and signing autographs and stuff for all the groms, even though they didnt nessesarily need to. They werent competing or anything..
Cons:
-Very slow and pretty unsafe jump. (WTF 2x4's instead of padding?)
-Turski getting owned... I felt almost sick to my stomach after seeing it.. especially being I was about 7 feet away from where she landed... She was alright, but shes going to be pretty bruised and shaken up. Maybe a few scrapes too.. wood is unforgiving.
-Horribly run audio... They had music + Announcers + roadies checking the mics at the same time. i was seriously pissed the fuck off... especially when the guy who was testing the audio was going "HA. HOO. HEEE. HURRRR. HEEEEY. HEY. HI.HEY.HEEEEEEY!" While Kaya was on the ground getting helped. Iono, it pissed me off. They also set the sound levels way too freaking high. Like, unnessesarily high. Typical Pac Bell Park.. they had the same problems at the Green Day Concert I went to...
-REALLY SKETCHY JUMP. I mean, it was pretty awesome that they built this thing, but they could have done better. They should have installed some sort of padding along the side, so turski, or anyone else wouldnt get hurt (a snowboarder almost ate it during practice earlier that morning, the exact same way. Luckily that time, the boarder was able to stop by catching onto a 2x4. Yay.) They also had very shitty snow coverage.. You would think they would have had an Ice truck and one of those ice shredders back there turning the ice into snow all day, kinda like they do at EVERY OTHER PRESEASON EVENT...
-Really annoying announcers.. Dingo was pissing me off the whole time because he didnt know jack squat, and Johnny Moseley was kinda talking nonsense as if he was on drugs.
-Really annoying people at the event who were there just to see Jurrasic 5. I mean, cmon. That was just totally lame. Tons and tons of thugged out gangster wannabies that 'get hyphy' and 'rep the bay' and all that bullshit were there and kinda brought a bad element to the event for a little bit.. I heard this one group of thuggish kids making fun at some little kid holding a skateboard, calling him a stupid skater kid when he didnt do anything. If I wanted to risk getting shot, I woulda decked a few of them...
Overall, I really liked the event, because it was close to home, and very abstract (skiing in november in SF? wtf?) but there were enough problems with the whole thing that there is a lot of room for improvement next year, if they have it again. I was at ICER 2005, when they had it on the streets, and there wasnt even close to being this much publicity. It was kinda just a spur of the moment, "lets truck in snow to SF and hold an event" kinda thing. There wasnt really any free swag, and the sketchyness of the jump was still just as bad (probably worse too, being that was held in 85 degree heat) I hope they do have it next year, and I hope they run the event much better. overall, I had a shitload of fun, and I'm even more stoked for ski season now than ever...
P.S. I freaking hope Kaya Turski is doing alright... I still feel so horrible for her, especially being she stuck that shit pretty smoothly, it was just a problem with the jump and all that shit...
