Scott wanted to do it in video format, so we've gotten all the entries together!   This video has all the entries that qualified for finals in it, with Women's runs first and Men going second.   The first clip doesn't have sound, but don't fret - most of them after that do have it.

Maybe a list of who qualified so we don't have to watch a 36 min video?

Furthermore:

Top 20 men and top 10 women move on to the finals. Nope there weren't 20 men - Certainly there were 20 male entries.

Use the best 6 features in your park- minimum of 2 jumps and 2 rails, the other 2 features are your choice  - Nope, the Stowe run was 5 hits.

No stopping in the middle of a run.  Ok, some didn't completely come to a stop, now did they?

I'm not going to mention that those who were late to get to the start house simply cried to the judges to get a reprieve.  Nope, not necessary.



Really cool contest concept though.  Lousy Sportsmanship

really cool contest concept -- fully agree.  tons of sick runs submitted as well. 

AAAAgonizing video to watch to see who qualified... loads so slowly you can't even skip ahead... that's like a full length ski movie! 

so, now, when is the deadline for final submissions?

It's the wrong run of me (but the right one is on the contest page), and you labeled the girl in front of me as me too.  I'm guessing they scored the right one though, because I shouldn't have gotten an 81 for eating shit.

ok so ive been sitting here for over an hour and i got 14 mintues in, this is taking a really long time so to sum up what ive seen for everyone so you dont have to waste your time.

jordan sophr 73.25

dane grashuis 73.25

dane degruyter 75

adrian dingle 76.5 with only 5 hits shouldnt have counted

tony gallina 80.25

luke perin 80.25

brian locke 81.25

jason arens 81.25 stopped in his run also shouldnt have counted

karl fostvedt 82.125

max peters 83.33 dont know how he's scored so high 3 reverts on first 3 then puts x's over next 2 hits?? its slope style not hit a feature and if you dont make it put an x? should have counted x hits.

ricky hess 84.75

so thats what i've seen so far anyway. i really really hope they actually hold standards for the finals instead of putting qualifications and just blowing them off.

Just to re-assure everyone, all of your second uploaded runs were what was scored. 

There was a run or two in the video that was the wrong one, but this was not what the judges were looking at.

Jason Arens HAD to stop it's kinda IMPOSSIBLE to cut off 35 snowboarders that are dropping in and falling in the jumpline. Northstar is crowded.
