In the last post I totally forgot to mention anything specific about how this weekends comp really went…

We only got 3 warm-up jumps and it was snowing pretty hard, so people had a hard getting the speed right. I did one speed check, one rodeo 5 and one sw 7 which I tok waay deep… Then it was straight on to qualifiers, which was a 2 jump, best jumps counts format.

Due to an open training on friday (which I didn’t get to go to), the level was super high just after people had their speed dialed. Thomas Dølplads leaded the charge throwing dub cork 10 on second hit followed by PC Fosse doing the same trick, everybody else doing sw 10′s, and the 15 year old Jens Gunhildsrud doing dub cork 12 after only a few hits…

In the qualifiers I did a suuper sketchy sw 10, and put my hands down in the landing in my first hit, and really good rodeo 9 in my second, but I washed out in the compression after the landing, so it did really matter how it looked in the air… I didn’t qualify.

Here is a clip from the contest so you get a better idea…

The level of skiing in Norway is absolutely insane right now… The guys who did good in this contest could have won pretty much any big air event this year! I’m just trying to tag along…
