I'm working on the Killington edit. It should hopefully be up thursday or so, I'd have it up sooner but I'm really busy with other work for the 50th anniversary celebrations. Sorry guys.

are you serious. im so god damn stoked for john. he deserved first place and he got it.

the reason everyone is bitchin about will is because the shit he was doing was unreal and he didnt even make top 3. just saying its wack

lots of switch up variations on the down rail...including what i thought was the hardest trick of the comp, switch 2 tails over pretzel 4 out. on a rail that was pretty high, will made it look too easy. shame he didnt get much credit for it from the judges. compton, dale, and borland all killed it so hard too. but big ups to j brogan, seany, and LJ for taking home the bread.

LJ straight killed it. I was up top, and he took more runs than anyone else. He was running up after each hit, and went back down right after he got to the top. Sean also had some pretty ill tricks on the up box and was all around consistent. Brogan was so steezy, and made everything look soo ill. It is true that Compton and Will killed it, but there's not much to do but be happy for everyone. I know everyone there had an epic time. And Forrest Bailey was murdering it for snowboarders.

aghh, wish I could have made it over to witness this, cant wait for the footy... huge props to LJ, brogan, and sean, so stoked for all you guys. You see, Will's problem is that he makes everything look so damn easy that he rarely gets the appreciation he deserves from the judges. haha, that's my opinion anyway.

that's definitely will's problem. On one hand, brogan makes tricks look completely different and gangster, but will adds two or three more switchups to the mix and makes it look like he hasn't even gotten out of bed that morning.

^ so now that you've won the big purse LJ, are you going to invest in some extra tall tees or keep modifying them using your TGR patented technique?

 You yourself being sarcastic/cynical etc., I'd think that your detection of those things would be sharper.  I was clearly kidding Mr. Heath.  LJ is the deal.

yes yes, im in the process of cutting up my footage right now. Everyone was definitely slaying. We had 2 cameras shooting, so it's a bit of footage to go through, but it's definitely going to make for a good edit. Like I said before however, I'm really busy with another project so don't expect Killington's edit until late this week at the earliest. Sorry again everyone. I'll let you know when it's up.
