Scuff Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 In preparation for the USASA races at Welch Village on Dec 22nd & 23rd, The G Team will holding an alpine practice at Wild Mountain this Sunday Dec 16th from 9AM-12NOOON While this is primarily a training session for our team riders, we would like to extend this opportunity to others. Any boarder who is interested in racing or just running some gates with us is welcome to attend. Will be setting a GS course. Course timing will not be available (but I'll have a stopwatch.) ~Coach Karl Karl@thegteam.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUD Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 So, are most of the Sunday crowd heading up to Wild to join Karl???? If someone has some self control I could borrow for the day I may think about it...... Gates, a stopwatch and I are a bad combination......:o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuff Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Don't worry Doug - I'll run the stopwatch for you, so all you have focus on is your riding. :D Not sure that many of 'the Buck gang' find racing that appealing.. esp if travel is involved, but come out if you like. Bring both SL and GS boards if you've got 'em - not sure which course we'll be setting first. A couple hours of gate time (and some racing tips, if you like) for just the cost of a Wild lift ticket is a pretty good deal. If not, Jessie and I are still hoping to ride Sunday morning at Buck, so might see you then. P.S. - What the crap is your avatar supposed to be? Looks like mesothelomia..

MUD Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 P.S. - What the crap is your avatar supposed to be? Looks like mesothelomia.. It is my wrist..... I broke my scaphoid (sp?) snowboarding at Wild about 17 years ago (YIKES!). That is a picture of it as of about 5 years ago. It kind of gets lost in the avatar size. So you and Jess are going to ride Buck then shoot up to Wild?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuff Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 MUD: Wrist - Oh, Ow Ow Ow Ow.. Yeah that's kinda the plan, but Jess will only be going to Buck. She has other non-snowboarding plans in the afternoon.. like running 9 miles or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebionicman Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I am going to try to make it. I have never run gates before so I will probably just watch to pick up some pointers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I'll be there. I have a van and can carpool. I'll be leaving from Cottage Grove around 7:30am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trent Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 awesome day boys and girl! i had a blast riding with everyone. got going scary fast in the course many times. just shows how much more practice i need so i can get in "race" mode, instead of "oh crap!" mode. karl, troy, and g-teamers: thank you very much for inviting us outsiders. always fun to ride with y'all, and i'm always learning from you guys. to everyone who went freeriding after.... thanks for keeping me company. after you all took off, i was able to get some runs in on the main race hill and on the other hill we were eyeing (next to eric's new favorite hill :p ). they both sucked! stupid flat light. both looked fine from the chair, but i got tossed around like a rag doll from all the ruts. so i just kept to the runs we had been hitting before. -trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldkey Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Thanks everyone for joining us at Wild. Thanks especially to Karl and Troy for all of their hard work. Hopefully some of the pics will come out - one day we'll have better light on the hill..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebionicman Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Thanks Karl and Troy for inviting everyone out. I had a great time meeting everyone. I feel pretty good tonight, but I bet tomorrow I am going to be sore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuff Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Thanks everyone for coming out to ride GS, and for your help with setting/pulling the course. Despite the flat light, variable snow conditions, and close-calls with reckless skiiers on-course, it sounds like everyone had a good time. Course was wicked-fast and really gave you the chance to push your threshold for speed & control. Whee! Look forward to riding with you again soon.

All healed up from the surgery last year! It depends on how much sleep I get on Sunday night. I will be at Indianhead all day up in the U.P. and I have to go to a family thing Christmas Eve evening.
