what's usually going down at that comp? i'd like to take part just coz i'll be up there for the weekend, and i would like to get some competeing under my belt, mostly for fun. is it worth going into with 7s? also i'll be up there all week, so i'll learn new stuff, prolly a 9 (cant do them at pine knob without bigger jumps...) so what do you guys think? any imput? is it even worth going to?

do it just for the experience. competing is fun, and i bet you would learn a 9 during the comp. comps are one of the best ways to push you.

I wanna go but I'm not gonna compete. I suck too bad and don't wanna spend the money to enter. Will the course be open after the comp?

Not a big enough jump at Pine Knob to 9??? There is no jump at either of the boynes or nubs that is any bigger than Knob's middle hit.

I don't know what Pine Knob you ski at but I used to throw them off the small jumps they had 4 years ago. obviously w/ no grab and pencil style but still.
