i know that it was a little sketchy how exactly people were telling someone why they should be invited by talking abou themselves or showing vids. people could have just sent a vid that wasn't them. it was more of the selection process that bothered me. there was no real criteria, that's all

Thanks for video sean, nice ending!! The bugger had new skis and didn't want me to detune them. Nips is fine, swollen thumb is all. he skied at another jam tonight, got bumb on the head to add to his collection of scrapes and bruises. he made some new friends and saw some old ones. good times.

sounds like a shity comp, 5 hits in 7 hours is bull shit. I dont understand why they would have a rail like that, only thing people are going to do is spin around on it untill they get sick. Glad to see that there has been little progression in rail jams over years.

no need to bash on erik, if anyone is trying to progress the sport as much as they can its him and his crew.

but as for the 5 hits in 7 hours thing, that didnt mean he was waiting in line the whole time, there was snowboarders heats too. and it took them a while to get it actually set up. i would say more like 5 hits in an hour and a half of actually waiting in line and skiing. the rest of the time was just down time, or watching other heats

still props to ski market and seth for actually making it happen

next time i think a lower setup that you can constantly hike up and hit would be way better
