Looks like a 5 second penalty to me....



Yup, followed by the next blade too.:$

I hadn't done any training jumps for the speed round in the past couple of months. What I had done quite a bit were wingovers. So being the first round of the Speed comp when my mind went "ok, now....CARVE!" my body went "Wingover, yeah!" Luckily my body caught my mind before I went all the way over to a full wingover, but it was too late, the damage was done.:D

10 seconds? Ouch![:/]


I find the intermediate course more technical to run (when set up properly with 10 foot gates on the inside of the turn) than the longer pro course. Training for the course you'll compete on definately helps, as shown at Nationals last year. :)

I wish this was me, but its not. I took this picture of a jumper from my dz. I don't think I have posted this one before.

He was literally coming straight at me. I put myself there to get pictures and it worked ok. I snapped this picture just before he flew over the top of me.

LOL. Alright...so I have a little work to do. Thanks for getting me out there though. Despite getting slightly damp, it has been a lot of fun starting to play with the pond.

Jeffro put up some gates in the main area a few days ago. Working on hitting these (not literally) has been a blast. Get down there this weekend and we'll tear it up!

This just proves that regardless of how jacked up your swoop/technique, you can always find at least one still frame that will make you look cool.;)

Here are some from a CPC camp we did at Jumptown in New England this weekend to start generating interest in the region.

Soon as the photographer sends me the other attendees stuff I'll post it too :)
