Well Im thinking about entering it in 2007 season after this. Well I was just wondering what it was like, pressure wise and that kinda stuff. Also what kind of tricks would most people be able to do if they entered it. This year Im going to be working on bigger 7's and nines forwards and backwards. Yeah and only answer if you actually know.

i would say if you cant switch cork 10 with a killer grab in your sleep dont enter.

the competition is super intense. the kids are all really good and the jumps are kinda big. maybe like 50 feet and a money booter at the bottom. the rails are pretty mellow but people get tricky on them. only give it a shot if you really think that you can go and throw down. otherwise dont take someone elses spot who deserves it more

last year i threw a switch 5 to cork 9 and it was around the average. also, i hope that you have decent style because i have seen some of the styliest tricks of my life there. pretty much, im gonna be pisseed if you take my spot and dont do well im going to unleash all of tahoe on you at once. i would say dont bother because it will probably be a waste of however much it costs (like $300 per event). but if you think that you can kill it than go ahead

sounds like a lot of talk to me. if you cant do a 7 well forwards then there is no way that a 10 is coming any time soon.

each rider has to pay 300$??? that's insane! so probably there are great skiers that can't go because they don't have the 300
