I, for one, am a huge fan of Back 9/Linecatcher style comps.

It's time for the Back 9 to happen again. Who's with me?

Best competition of all fucking time. Even if K2 can't put another one on, somebody needs to do something similar even if Pep and Andy can't make it. Collins, Witt, Decker, Berni, etc. Thas what's really hood.

Backcounrty comp with  nine different zones. Its sort of like playing for skins in golf. Basically it was cooler then Linecatcher in my opinion .I am all for bringing it back, it was dope.

Its modeled after a mini golf course, with a whole bunch of small-scale backcountry lines.  I really liked the variety of it, because in one day, competitors could hit a pillow line, a short, technical steep and a 40 foot cornice.  Definately a backcountry-freestyle focus, which is neat to see.  Comparable comps include the Cold rush and Linecatcher.
