Many of you know about the recent happenings in the Fantasy League and how everyone got Liam's points for the Anti-Gravity Grail. But something that no one knows about is happening right now as I write this post....It all started with a great idea for a rail, something I spent a lot of time on and put a good deal of hope in. The contest was the Test Your Metal contest by Freeskier and Keystone, which awarded a trip, lift tickets, and accomodations during the freeskier jibfest. So, I entered my rail, and then I waited til the supposed release date of the winner. But before then, I received an email that envigorated me so much. It was from Julian Lamarche, the rail designer at Keystone, and it said that I was in the top three finalists, and that he wanted to talk to me about my rail for more specifications. So, I called him and he generally told me that they could get a lot of shots on the rail and that my design stood out the most from the top three. This was on Jauary 25, and I am speaking to you now on March 22. I would like to tell you that they disclosed the winner on March 1st, but they didn't. In fact, after three weeks I finally got enough nerve to send an email asking for results. I checked the site everyday searching for a winner in the breaking news on the home page, but nothing has happened yet. Worst of all though is that I have emailed them and Julian several times, even just asking for reply or an update on the progress, but no one has answered. Julian told me that they would have to start building April 1st to finish the rail, if mine was chosen, and that date is rapidly approaching with no reply from freeskier. I am to the point that maybe they arent going to answer me, and they arent going to continue the contest due to lack of money or that they just decided not to do it. This would be very disgusting, yet they could tell me at least that the contest was discontinued or something. I am losing faith in freeskier now after all of this ignorance and procrastination, but they could at least have some decency.
