im sure there is more than one thread about this.
but if i dont see every kid 16 and under at sno mtn's jib academy
i wont do anything because i cant, but i will be very dissapointed in you.
this is the first legit grom ski comp to come to this area and everyone needs to be there
the pro list is stacked.
so come and ski even if you older than 16

Yeah, it's going to be such a fun day to ride. So many skiers are going to be in the park that day.

Seany speaks the truth.

"Mark Abma, Matt Walker, John Symms, Keri Herman, Michael Clarke, Nick Martini and a few others will be there as well."

I saw most of these guys at the US Open, you have got to see them. They are at the top of the game right now.  It is a no pressure, layed back day to learn some new tricks or just hang out. Seany is right, beg, borrow or steal, you don't want to miss this.

There will probably be 4 legit jumps if it doesn't rain bad for the jumps to get beaten down.

yeah, I'm in the same boat as the kid above, I'm 17 and don't think I be able to shred with everyone because I think they would definitley close the parks for a day when the pros come to town

yea...it's going to be so embarassing. Sno's park is terrible, they are re-building because the Rev Tour is this weekend but it's not going to be that great for the Academy. And they probably won't close the park to other people, and if they do...theres another one open and they won't be going all day long so you can ride the big park when they're not.

oh and nick, you're right. :)

Hahaha, Steeze!


I have rode the setup for the past two days, and it could be a lot better, but the setup is still really fun. For how small the jump is it's poppy and at the Rev tour today kids are throwing some nice 7's,and 9's down. As for the park closing down, I talked to my boss about that and he said he's trying to get it closed. I'll talk him into letting the older riders in also so we can hang and ride. If not, us older kids can just go shred the little park and still have an awesome time.

OK SO HERES WHAT THERE IS SET UP

I was there today and it really wasnt that bad, in the big park it starts off with a flat down box on the right then an urban style down rail on the left.  Theen it goes into prolly a 25 ft. table but its pretty poppy and is nice for switch and that kinda stuff.  after that jump is goes into 3 features side by side which are a long flat bar on the right, a rollercoaster box in the middle(that is mad fun), and tyhen into a steep down box, then its a stair set or an a frame box then into either the pipe or an inrun into the last jump which is prolly a 35 footer but is madddd poppy and sooo fun. The park is lookin good for tommorrow hopefully the rain wont be too bad but its going to be fun regaurdless!

Got x-rays this morning and it's not broken...thank god. Just a pretty bad sprain. I'm out for like 2 weeks. Boo.

It happened on a sw cork 7 to the bottom of the landing of the last jump. It didn't hurt until I started walking around in my shoes and then it freakin' killllled and swelled up really bad. My jaws kinda messed up from my knee slamming into it too. Oh well. It's all good.

This one was rendered to .flv at a bit rate that produced 96meg.  I guess this is as good as it gets.

You should really get quicktime pro and use h.264 to compress your video. That way you can host on a site that supports quicktime and your videos won't be compressed again like what youtube does. Quicktime is the best format to put your videos in, you should really look into that.

Cool edit tho, real random shit at the end tho haha.

pemiere allows me to export to quicktime and use the h264.  the video is half the size by default..120x160 or something like that. 

check videos on here for a better quality one.

h.264 does work wonders, but compressing with premiere and a pc sucks.  I wish sorensen didn't cost so much. That was a cool edit tho. I'm glad sno made a set up that looked fun.
