what was thrown down? any pretzles or shit like that
he really was skiing like a freak. where did that come from?
everyone seemed to be ridin real well. i think it had a lot to do with limited skiers and riders. it went a lot smoother that way too, sorry, but i like it this way and i'll be putting the rest of them together as invite only contests.
next one is probably Out Door Sports, Wilton, CT on Oct. 25th. Then on to 2 more that aren;t finalized, then Simsbury teh saturday after thanks giving, then Dec 6+7 will be the biggest comp (hopefully) where we're going down to Haven Skate park for Slam Fest. then, the week after that at the mountain is the first official on mountain comp, the Oakley Sessions, which is heading into its second season.

damn with the influence ECSM has i guess im not gona be able to ski at any of these. i guess im gona need to have more backyard sessions hah
ok so fluff i have a question then about this invite only deal. i understand completely why you want to do it but you need to come up with a better way to do "invite only". i think there are plenty of kids that deserve the right to ride in these but becasue they are not in with you or the sundown crew it is nearly impossible for them to get in. hopefully there is a way for everyone to enjoy the setup casue the last one looked dooooope and i would love to get in on one of these

yea i agree that the rail jams probably run a lot smoother now but not just because it's invite only. def keep doing those but you should really have a couple where it's open to anyone to promote your mountain more and just cap the number of kids allowed- i.e. first come first serve. and if the most dedicated kids show up first then it'll still be a really good time and the mountain would give off a nice vibe, cause right now it feels way too exclusive, or maybe i'm just jealous i wasn't there....
simply... hang out with us in the park. We like to ride. These happen to be the guys on my cell when i'm looking to jib with some locals.
liability concerns dictate that i know who's dropping in at these sessions, Marketing concerns say, are the riders going to put on a show...
there's some one from the park crew out every single day. Session with us, get to know us, and you'll be on top of the list at these sessions. that's how we get the list together.
I used to do an open to anyone session at the hill, 3 hits in a row, like a mini run. it was recieved kind of lame like, so i decided to go back to the invite only sess.
sorry if you're feeling left out. it's not exclusive i promise

for the most part i agree with what you say and it makes sense, oh and i'm not trying to call you out or anything in a negative way but i would've appreciated a response back to my message about a uconn rail jam on ns or my email to your sundown address. i understand it probably wouldn't be able to happen and that's fine but i didn't appreciate being ignored considering i emailed you atleast a week ago and i sent you an ns message a couple of weeks ago. once again i'm not trying to bash you, but i was just looking for an aknowledgement that you received the messages. thanks
thanks for the response. i now understand where you are getting the kids from, unfortunately i dont get a chance to ride at sundown because my family has passes out of a mountain in mass but if i ever do i will look for a park guy so that hopefully in the future i can get into one of these things
