It's that time again.

There was some shreddage today on a rail, but it's looking sad up there for the moment. Should turn around soon. Pray for Powder!

I will be there this coming weekend. I have a brown analog plaid jacket, brown orage pants, both xl, a white giro encore and red crowbars and will be skiing on white pipe cleaners or super fat ON3ps. If you see me yell at me or ask me how to get to Chads!

^^ yeah they still look the same, really lippy with flat landings, and the angles look all messed up.  Not too appetizing unless your into that kind of stuff

so i hiked the park after school and its sick. They replaced the shotgun with a flat bar. The downward propane tank is now the t-bone box. Then they still have the flat-down box and on the left is an up rail. Then rollercoaster of death and shark rail to 30 ft down rail. Finally they took a propane tank and set it up sideways probably on a 7 ft snow mound.

^That's just big mtn's standards, it's kind of expected.


But in all seriousness I am looking forward to skiing their park and the rest of the mountain.

first off thanks to whoever helped me get started on the big jump, i just could not get enough speed to gap it. 

Secondly, that jump is the sexiest thing i have ever hit on skis....in the past week.  It is just so so so smooth and fun. 

Props to big mountain for figuring out their jumps...well at least most of them.

well the only footage from this year that is online is David Steele's ON3P promo, which can be viewed here (i would recommend using the vimeo link that's in the description):

https://newschoolers.com/web/content/viewvideo/id/242185/member_id/82048/

The rest of the footage is on my hard drive. Look for some edits at the end of the year.

A few highlights from today:

Adams brothers are going nuts. Alex: 9s, rightside 7s, backies Trav: lincolns galore, sick 5s, and prom.
Shae was throwing down on Thugs, Willie was blasting his spread out 3s.

These kids continually make me feel and look like a gaper.

Put that slushwax on, it was super slow.

Sick man, not sure if I remember who you were, I met a lot of cool kids this weekend. I have come to the conclusion that Big Mountain is probably one of my favorite mountains in the state, I didn't meet nearly as many douche bags as I usually do at Big Sky or other mountains around the state. Plus you guys have a fun park, a killer mountain and good coverage.

^are there still rules that you can't do straight over flips in the slopestyle competitions?.. like fore example, you used to not be allowed to do a backflip, but you could do a backflip 180... thought that shit was pretty retarded.
