AtomicSkier Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Just got off the phone w/ 'dude...I know he was around 12th place after the first run, but he's pretty sure he finished top 15 today Quote
skimom Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 How'd you squeeze that out of him? I know about his first run - 4 seconds off the leader. But he told me he took down a panel with his hand second run (ouch), and wouldn't tell me how far out he was. It's a good thing we have this website, so I can tell how my son is doing... Quote
Ski Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Wow, that's big time...but why does 'Dude always leave before they post results? Quote
skimom Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 Today he had to catch a ride back with someone else. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Posted February 10, 2007 Today he had to catch a ride back with someone else. His lady friend and I are in agreement, buy 'dude a car! I didn't get to see his first run, but we chatted while the girls were running, and he said 12th the first run (he said he got REALLY late at the bottom of the headwall). His second run, according to the girl that was molesting him, wasn't as clean as the first. He always looks so slow cause he's so freakin huge I saw him take that gate out. It was on the flat before the 2nd headwall, and I saw it from all the way on the first headwall....I said "ouch" to myself, cause I knew that HAD to hurt. He skied the middle section cleanly, and pretty fast obviously. Go 'dude! Quote
skimom Posted February 10, 2007 Report Posted February 10, 2007 He was 20th at Tussey. I hope he's in the top 15 here - I couldn't tell how much he decelerated from hitting the panel. Quote

sibhusky Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Boy, PARA hasn't improved any when it comes to getting results posted. Can't believe they don't have YESTERDAY's yet! Quote
Papasteeze Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 http://www.paracing.org/mambo/index.php?op...13&Itemid=4 which would be best for that really sticky man made stuff? Try a different ski? or learn that blue has crappy snow. Quote
sibhusky Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Try a different ski? or learn that blue has crappy snow. It's been so pleasant while you were gone.... What's with the attitude towards his question? (Which by the way, was about WAX and referred to skiing at Jack Frost in the race HE was in, as opposed to the race 'dude was in. Maybe you should trying reading the post before you jump all over someone with smart remarks.) Quote

First Grade Teacher Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Boy, PARA hasn't improved any when it comes to getting results posted. Can't believe they don't have YESTERDAY's yet! Try www.live-timing.com Some mountains put up the results faster than PARA. Quote
sibhusky Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 (edited) Try www.live-timing.com Some mountains put up the results faster than PARA. Found that dude finished 15th on day one according to that link. But they don't show the second day's race for some reason. Edited February 11, 2007 by sibhusky Quote

I didn't have any trouble at Liberty with my all temp fluoro in blown snow. Do you scrap/brush real well? Try www.live-timing.com Some mountains put up the results faster than PARA. Outstanding link! Thanks! Quote

Thanks! Hell yea, there wasn't an ounce of wax left in my structure. I even brushed right before my race run too. The snow was just REALLY sticky, I was just wondering what type would be best for that really sticky fresh blown snow. Quote
sibhusky Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 Second race day at Blue: http://www.live-timing.com/race.php?r=3580&u=0 Quote

Tell me exaclty what wax you used and the temperatures and anything else you know. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Posted February 12, 2007 Tell me exaclty what wax you used and the temperatures and anything else you know. temperatures reached mid 20's today, so I used swix universal warm as my base coat, then crayoned on your T-series that was like 20-28deg and ironed that in. It seemed resonably hard when i scraped it off, so i figured it would've been hard enough for the new snow...should i have gone to a harder wax? Quote

If you look at the wax charts everything shifts up with new snow. The T2 was a better choice. If you are unsure - wax colder - my waxes will do well even if it warms up, but a warmer one won't always do well in the colder/harsher snow. Quote
skidude Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 15th on Friday and 30th on Saturday. I guess I skied too much like uhh jeff saturday Shooting for top 10 at Elk Quote
skidude Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 Ok here are 5 pictures in order from the gate I punched. Above the gate Look at the inside hand...a little low A wee bit twisted from 'punching' the gate, note its on the snow Trying to untwist myself Trying to figure out where to go Quote
AtomicSkier Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Posted February 14, 2007 lookin good in pic 1 Quote
Ski Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 So the person taking pics just happened to get your problem gate? It would have been a great shot of you clipping that gate, if you didn't get your arm hooked. Bummer, 'Dude. But at least you know you didn't imagine it. Top 10 at Elk Top 5 at Sno!!! Quote
