2008 WINTER X-GAMES

Dynastar athletes start off to a promising start


 

Mike Riddle and Justin Dorey descended upon Aspen Colorado to show the world their talents at the 2008 Winter X-Games. Today, January 23, 2008 was the semi-finals for the Supper Halfpipe where Justin and Mike had to qualify in to the top 10 out of 16 athletes in order to compete in the finals. Mike Riddle laid down two solid runs putting him in 5th place going into finals tomorrow January 24th.

Justin Dorey had a disappointing evening, clipping the deck in the middle of his first run loosing a ski and putting tremendous pressure on the second run. Justin  skied incredibly well stomping all his tricks on the final run until the last hit he came up short on a switch nine, landing on his chest which eliminated him from the finals.

I ended up catching up
with Todd Ligare and Rachael Burks
while in Park
City. We made our way to
Deer
Valley of all places and
had just a killer time shralping the resort. Deer Valley had no idea what hit
them; Rachael, who’s up for “Best female performer” at the
 2008 POWDER Poll
& Video Awards and Todd Ligare, an up and coming athlete that has hit the
Big Mountain Freeskiing scene with great style and incredible skiing.


I was able to get
some footage of these two just doing what they do on the hill.



Enjoy!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I have been hanging in Jackson
for the past five days and the conditions have been perfect! 
The Tetons
received tons of snow at the end of ‘07 and on the 1st day of ‘08 the
sun came out. I have been filming with Jeremy Jones, Schroder Baker,
and Lynsey Dyer for the new TGR film. It is good to be back in the
mountains sending it! Check out some lines from New Years Day.
