Jossi came 12
Lyndon came 14 in his heat in semis
Byron came 15 in his heat in semis

Watch out for the big air and pipe.

I qualified into the finals with the highest score - but then cased the first jump and sprained my good thumb - I didnt want to risk falling and having 2 thumb surgeries in 3 months so I scratched.

Im kinda pissed - coz the run I was going to do wouldve put me in 4th or 5th place.

Oh well, bring on the Aspen Open!

Thanks guys.
Ive got shit to prove now!

Jossi absolutely killed it - making it to the final in a comp with over 150 of the sickest skiers around is just rediculous.

He got invited to the big air but only top 8 went to the finals.

Holy shit , you had to see Schillers cab 1440 to believe it!

I just thouch it was another cab 10 (yawn) but evryone was going nuts!! He seriously held a true nose mute grab through 1080 degrees, and stomped so deep and so chill - it was crazy!

He said to me that as soon as he stomped he thought "fuck, I hope I never have to do one of those again!"

Every pro on the finish area was like -"what the fuck, now I have to learn a 14! Fuck you TJ!"
Jon's going to Aus to learn double cork 10s on the water ramps. Jacob wester has a double cork 10 both ways!

- shit's getting crazy!

Yeah Dunbar!

Jossi and I both came 2nd in Slopestyle at the Aspen Snowmass Open. It was sick, we competed on the exact X-Games slopestyle course.
We are heading over to Europe soon for the European Freeskiing Open in Laax from the 21st.

hmmm I'll have to check, but I think if I house twenty mad freeeskiiers suddenly at the friends house who're letting me stay, I might be overusing their generosity...

sick to hear you entered the open markie, so jealous you still skiing your ass off, the NZ sun is melting my happiness away. will have to console myself with riding the boxes at snowplanet with the scotts. kinda good to be back though, got the photos developed and you got some nice shots, will send them tonight.

Contrary to NS belief, i didnt end up goin to the open, couldnt get the cash!

But congrats to Tori for getting third. You are kicking some serious ass! Good on ya!

Also i read somewhere that Noddy got second in a big mountain comp in Switzerland somewhere.

Kiwis are taking over!
