Replying to Level 1 Brighton Rail Jam Etiquette Question
TLDR: Is it acceptable to sign up for the Level 1 Brighton rail jam without hope of actually being competitive?
I’m a Brighton local and a huge fan of what Level 1 and Brighton are doing. I’m comfortable with mellow tricks on the sorts of rails they’ve had at Sugarbush and Troll, and would expect to do some lip on, front 2, blind 2, switch off, etc. at whatever they build at Brighton.
Even though this is way less than what the heavy hitters will be doing, I’m considering signing up. My plan would be to ski my hardest during practice and the open jam, to enjoy the competitive vibe and the chance to push myself, while generally staying out of the way of more competitive riders, especially as finals get closer. I’d like to be part of the event and have the chance to push myself in a competitive environment, but only if it’s acceptable to do so.
Any thoughts on what would be most appropriate here? Community event where anyone can participate if they use common sense, or something more competitive?
And as a separate question for a friend - what level of tricks/rail expertise should a female skier have before registering?
Thanks homies.
