Hopefully they'll try to make a transition to LAND on this year, last years 45 degree down to fucking flat was great.

Yeah, the time given to skiers vs snowboarders was very lame, but it's to be expected sadly.

Great to see/hug everyone though!

Skiers def deserved more time, you guys threw down way harder than any of the borders for sure, the energy was way better with the skiers.

Props to all you guys.

you forgot to mention the purple laces too.
but to bad no one did a switch one footer...

but you could tell that the boarders needed more time.
It was not till the final that some of them made it to the end of the rail.

Kohl made it to the end of the rail three times, one of which he washed out, but he was a stylish wash out, Grant never quite got to the part that makes it a dragon rail instead of a rainbow. and it was not stylish.

Here are a few shots from the throwdown. I forgot my other flash at my house, so I only had one, and was having a hard time getting enough power to freeze the motion.

I had to delete a FUCKLOAD for motion blur.

I fucking hate that photo, but I left it in there anyway.

the light on the helmet is super hot, and the dudes style is kinda whack.
