Anyone else signed up?  I'm not super good, but I signed up just so I have to get better and not look like a tool.  Does anyone know what the details/setup/prizes are?

Thanks

sorry for the double post, but does anyone know the average skill level of people at these rail jams?  (like do people come from boulder to just rake in the prizes)

So would an inexperienced skier like myself just look like a tool?

This is my first rail jam.  How do they normally work?  Do they just put a number on my chest and let everyone run wild on the rails?

Also, what is the most popular hit for a rail jam?  down rail?  flat rail?  any boxes? etc.

thanks

No worries..  thats how they work.  You go to have fun, throw down, maybe try some new stuff.

Camelbacks end of season jams usually have a 100 or so with a good sized crowd watching.  It's been a hike and huck in previous years. 

Just Go! Have fun!

sorry for double post, I found it.  damn i'm excited.  This jam is def. the biggest i'll have been in.  it's a 3.5 hour drive for me.  I think the $500 bucks will almost cover the gas!   lol

Also, I've never seen so many skullcandies in one session.  Out of control.  Was like a fuckin fashion show.  I'm just bitter because they wouldn't let me ski because i was a little late.

SO much fun yesterday!  I really enjoyed being in a bigger comp with a more competitive level of skiing.  great job to everyone in the finals, killin' it!  i was a lil bummed yesterday, and i just want to apologize for that.  i was being stupid.  I was SUPER stoked to see some really sick and smooth tricks.  i think we might come back up next weekend.  let's get a sick sesh going!!!!!
