be there or be square...

ahhhhh yep.....

Lots of good info at biglines.. http://www.biglines.com/msgbrd/viewtopic.p...asc&start=0

picture 23 or 24 shows the runway in the background. http://www.catpowder.com/photo_update/august_23rd/index.html

The word on the street is that prequalification status is relaxed due to poor attendance in previous years. You will need an FIS liscense, event fees paid, create a blog, yep!...... travel to Park City, obviously.. Anyway, hopefully all the cool PC kids should be there. Here is the registration link. http://www.usfreestyle.blogspot.com/

That link above is confusing. Here is a better one showing this years 1/2 pipe venues that need to be well attended. The Park City one in December is the one to focus on. http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/disciplines/free...date_from=today

Hopefully there is still a possibility. Here is link to the FIS Freeestyle schedule for this season. The more support the more likely that it will at most be done as a demo event. http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/disciplines/free...iscalendar.html

Absolutely they are both really awesome skiers! BTW we have 15 yr old in the poconos who is at the top of snowboard slalom racing, who isn't pursuing it.

Read this article on Simon Dumont - He aspires to be in the Olympics.. The comments at the end of the article sort of give a feel for the general attitude. http://newschoolers.com/web/content/news/news_id/1592/ Here is an excerpt

Here is the Freestyle progression. - Win swag and cash at local comps. - get sponsored for gear - get gear plus travel/comp money - get gear, travel, doubled comp winnings from sponsors for podiums - get gear, travel, podiums, film segments - get pro models, travel, endorsements, podiums and or segments, stipends/salary - Form a company, try to sell stuff with your name on it. Would they take the money in lieu of competing in the Xgames or Olympics? at this point, I think so. Now that might change, but all the top guys in FS are angling for the cash.

Little do you know.

organized voting campaigns?

Montreal for 5 days, beach on the weekends, I check in here bout once a day, but get disgusted with every other post being from Doug and get tired of reading " "

some more detailed info....

i miss all the good stuff. damn.

I don't know the airport lingo, but right now the airport at the base is as antique as it gets. They don't have the equipment for anything other than visual landings is my understanding. I think it is a given that the airport will expand/update, there probably just needs to be a demand first.

freakin Sno Mountain is hosting the 2008 Salomon Jib Academy. this year. (it's an all skier event/comp) I hope they learn to build jumps. I took nips to the one at Waterville valley last year.

You have no idea how many there are and how many more would come if... Naaaaa it seems obvious to me that they don't have any FS skiing contacts or are too lazy to use them. I choose the latter.

Been there, done that and it sucks! the first year nips went to camp, the only photos I got were from his friends. I think COC advertises that they took 8000 photos last season, I found 4 or 5 pics of him and 2 of his brother. The 2 of his brother were from the hotel and not from the slopes. There were only 3 pics of him this season. Did they have a photographer on staff on the mountain each day?

hahahhaa wooooooot! big boulder vibe is in the house!

progress.. park skiing is changing, evolving and growing. I can't think of another word.

Hasn't there been a push to get resorts to put up brushes for gates?

It's wierd that parks can progress the way they do but race gates do not. I think it has to do with the people (types of personalities) running the parks/gates. Would park crew staff a race course. Certainly! Would a race crew staff a park? Doubt it.

I changed my mind, I think I will sit in a gravestone office and post on PASR all day.
