it’s take long for me to post the pics from this site skipass us open coverage
SKI PASS TEXT SOMEWHAT TRANSLATED!!
3h of the morning... The alarm clock sounds, that fall well I did not
need absolutely sleep... 4h30 recording of the luggage to the airport
St Exupery (20 kg, a record with the fall!)... 6h30 the 1st takeoff...
8h arrived to Frankfurt, joy happiness 4 hours to kill in an armoured
airport of world and controls of safety... 12h30, the 2nd takeoff for
10h30 of flight this blow Ci... Disappointment: the Frankfurt-Denver
line is normally WiFi (if if, I ensure you) but only on the Boeing...
And inevitably today it is A340... Such an amount of worse, not of
skipass.com, not of abusive censure on our forums the time of a
transatlantic way and especially a beautiful occasion of lost to be
played it geek pathetic... But good, exchanges some we have right to
the US remake of Taxi, cinematographic object improbable completion.
The voyages form youth that y said: Ben with the airline companies
youth is badly barred.
Efforts, continue! A small encouraging note for our friends of
American immigration, more slackened surprisingly this year, much
Soviet to some extent. A photograph and a statement of prints later,
Vail direction via the very practical shuttles at the beginning of the
airport, almost familiar, of Denver (Colorado Mountain Express train,
vans of 8 people, departure every hour for all the stations of
Colorado. It was the council travels the day). With the passage, a
disconcerting detail: it makes 16° in Denver... 2h and of dust (past
20 H of way, one does not count any more the minutes) and a passage of
collar of 3300 m (on a motorway, all is normal) later and it has been
finally the arrival with Vail to find the TEAM Dynastar, arrived for a
few days, with which I will spend the first 5 days of this
escapade...
Vail, US Open the US Land Open one is, with X-games, the
largest competition of ski freestyle of the universe... Here are which
is known as. On the other hand, contrast with X is amusing: while
arriving this morning, we would have almost believed ourselves in a
compet' of province: little world, relaxed organization. One is well
far from the enormous machinery of the big brother of Aspen, where it
is not possible to make 1 meter in restricted parking zone if there is
a red badge... And conversely... Sportivement, the difference holds in
a word: 'Open'. Whereas X-Games are strictly on invitation, the US
Open one leaves to a few hundreds of more or less anonymous in broad
and low trousers a possibility of being distinguished, during 2 days
of qualification... Blow, that made a little casting TV Reality per
moments (go coconut, have you 2 runs, leave your more beautiful switch
7.2, the jury looks at you) and following the example castings it
is sometimes a little longuet.
When one has not seen them for a few months, the quality of the
American infrastructures freestyle always shocks. The United States
always has an enormous length in advance on Europe, the comparison is
not even possible besides. In more of a park public step well far from
the perfection, slopestyle of the competition present of the enormous
modules of which largest, monumental, will be open only starting from
the semi-finals, Friday. Disappointment on the other hand on the rails
which had a long time been a trademark of the Open Custom: badly
placed, rather badly foutus... It without fault is missed.
On the skis With dimensions Frenchies, only Laurent Thevenet passes
the qualifs of slopestyle. It should be said that the average general
level is properly incredible and all the more impressive as the riders
on level are not only one handle of stars but of tens of perfect
anonymities, techniques, air and especially very young: that pushes
very very extremely with the wicket! For Laurent Favre, the
competition will begin only Friday (it forms part of pre-qualified)
but that does not prevent it from massacring the park conscientiously,
in.liaison.with Tanner Hall... Within sight of the level of form of
the animal….ends here, the free online translation this only let me go up to here, but it only had a sentence left.
NS HOME PAGE INFO
Day one action from the 2005 US Open in Vail, CO. Qualifying continued for it's second and final day in the slopestyle contest with the afternoon ending with a Last Chance Qualifier as the light started to get flat. The final roster for tomorrow's semi-finals and final will be a mix of the up and comers and established guys and gals - some, like John Symms and Pep that are recently off of injury will be looking to throw down and get good results. The course consists of a fairly ghetto rail section (including the use of a broken rail from last year's comp) that leads into three big booters. The jumps were large and well-shaped and stood up well against the onslaught of skiers they faced throughout the day. To say the rail section at the top of the course is disappointing would be an understatement. It's definitely not the kind of setup that facilitates showcasing where rails are today in sking. Despite the course imperfections the comp went off today and skiers are the throwing down. The weatherlooks perfect for tomorrow and NS will do our best to have results online as soon as possible. Big Air happens Saturday night and Halfpipe is set for Sunday. Keep checking back for the latest.
THAT’S ALL FOR NOW!!!!!!!!!!!CHECK BACK SOON!!!!!!!!!!
SO HOT RIGHT NOW.
