so the jump was small and that looks sketchy.

well, Jon only had 3 jumps on it, and he was skiing on his fat skis as he gave his park skis away in zurich. Add that to the fact that he (and pretty much all the other's in the comp) were partying until about 5 that morning and its not so bad.

The london ride isnt (obviously) the biggest contest in the world, its just some people getting together to have fun in london.

So much fun that Lolo favre won with a switch corked 7 even though he broke his collar bone the day before on the red bull vert ramp.

the mike wakefield is only the hottest talent (and I mean that in a non-sexual way) in the UK on 2 skis. Considering we don't have any snow in the UK the Line UK team is hot shit...

P.S. you can download copies of the UK's only true freeride ski magazine here http://www.darksummer.co.uk/archive.php

rich lies

mike isnt the hottest talent, murray is the hottest talent. wakefield is just very very good.

its called a "wake n' bake", his own trick really. the rollerbladers call it a true mctwist, which i guess it is, but who am i to say! its not a flare because the first movement is forwards. you can see more of him and others in the movie try.fail.try
