GeoffV Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Jack is going to embarrass the entry alpine community.... We'll never recover from this No pressure Jack but you better make us look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc H Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 omg, I am soooo doing that. Now that's what I like to hear! Let your inner M******* flow within you! What day will you be arriving? I'll be up there Thursday night; need any race wax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckmann AG Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Don't worry. I'm borrowing a GS suit and a cucumber. I get that you will be using the cucumber slices to soothe your teary eyes after the course hands you your backside (or is that frontside? I can never remember..); but why the speedsuit? Given the course, you might prefer one of those Norwegian 'flying squirrel' suits for improved maneuverability. Jack is going to embarrass the entry alpine community....We'll never recover from this No pressure Jack but you better make us look good. No worries, spectator view should be fairly limited.

queequeg Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I was kidding about the GS suit. :) But not the cucumber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc H Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I was kidding about the GS suit. :) I dare you to sport one. I'm letting Mr. Wagner use mine. Gonna sell it to him anyway cause I wouldn't be caught dead in it. Figure I'm gonna use my Rossignol 156 for this race. Feathering my turns is way easier and I can straightline better with it. Whos gonna be there from this forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I dare you to sport one. I'm letting Mr. Wagner use mine. His ponytail vs. my plainclothes will cancel out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you have a Kessler? You should be racing with that not a 156 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Don't you have a Kessler? You should be racing with that not a 156 The trail the race is on (Double Bitter) is a narrow squiggly thing that will not be good for GS boards, or much carving in general. Actually it will go a long way towards equalizing hardboot/softboot gear. I'll be on my Stubby 171 and no plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be a fun course to race on. Enjoy guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure the SL will do me some justice. It's that or I put plates on my Solomon forecast. There is also the option of my oxygen proton which is a tad wider than the Rossignol.

KBWinter Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Ross Powers won. Here are the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Ross Powers friggen killed it! Unbelievable time of 1:18, compared to Seth's 1:24. "Official" BOL best was Dan Wagner (KneeDeep) on 3-straps at 1:35:27 followed by me at 1:38:45. Hardboots were at a disadvantage on this tight grizzly course. Winning boards were short BX's and Fish shapes. However I thought I heard jburrill's (on softies) 2nd run time announced at 1:28:something, but the pdf shows 1:48:08. *shrug*, he looked fast. Tons of nationwide talent was on hand including many USASA guys and former bx pros. FUN race, I recommend it next year, but not on HB's if it is on the same trail!! (Double Bitter - very narrow) Gonna pick up one of Seth's Kessler 168 BXs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc H Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Jay got DQ'd. Boy was he pissed. He said his time was around what you've stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc H Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 As for Dan, he's really good at what he does. More power to him when he goes to nationals next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
