I asked them the night before, they said, come down, and tell us and it’d be sweet.
I came down at like 6, and then they said the comp would start at 6.30 ish and so i grabbed a marky mark with my hotdog. then before i got on, they breathalysed me and i failed.
after that, i just had a few more drinks and watched them pull some mad tricks out of the bag

 

Thats the A box.

Thats the run down. sorry i took it on a wierd angle…

fyi, they’re not bad quality, they’re photographic techniques at they’re best

 

Sorry, left one out.
this one shows the A box or whatever you call it and all the way at the end you can just make out the log.

 

heres one more but i didnt take it smile

Wow that does seem like a poor set up.
Sad really, because all the time and money that goes into creating an event like that. For it to not go well and only be set up half-good… dissapointing, I wish it was better for you all.

 

You’d gain a lot of speed from the drop-in, which is good cos you can pull harder tricks with more speed but also daunting with so little snow and barely any space at all at the end as you can see in the pic.
I think it was because buller got rained on before…

 

You were right about the small amount of snow.

 

everyone ended up just resorting to slamming into the fence

 

No harm in hitting a fence like those portable ones. Humans > mobile fences

 

Theres no harm really. It just prevents riders from truly gaining control after landing their tricks off the a frame.
