Flat Landing

I tried skiing off the roof.

Ripped Pants.

Sorry for the long delay in posting up the results of this one...

We went to Steamboat Springs for a 4 day ski trip. While we were there, they were having a winter carnival. I entered in the Dual Slalom . There were 33 racers, top 16 advanced. I was in the top 16. Then I beat the guy in my heat and advanced again (top 8). Then I lost in the next heat. I ended up losing to the guy who took 1st.
Shot of the course and the jump near the bottom.
There were lots of people wrecking on this one.
There are few pics of me here, just the videos at the end of this post.
Some other guys wrecking.

Me and Pam. Medals for being awesome.
Unicycle dude. He didn't make any of the gates. He also crashed off the jump after his tire dug into the snow.
Handle bar surfer dude. He ended up taking out the orange coat down below him.
Endo.
I'm not totally sure how much the spikey tires helped. As you can see there were pretty good ruts down the course thru the gates. They probably did some. When all was done, I had a rip in the back of my pants leg due to getting too far behind the seat.
Here are some videos that Pam took of my runs.
One is the quarter final where I was close for a bit then the other guy went down in my lane and I had to dismount, go back up around the gate then take the win. I'm the guy on the left.


The other is where I was smoked by the champion. I'm on the right.
