Copper Mountain Rev Tour

In Uncategorized on December 22, 2011 at 3:35 PM

Sorry for the lack of posts the past few days it’s been grassy between training Gym and recovering!

But I just finished the Revolution Tour at Copper Mountain.
It was a really fun contest and I managed to see the fun side even under all that pressure which I was happy about.

I was in heat two so I competed at about 12 midday.
My practice was one of the worst I have had I didn’t land my full run until the very last minute, man that was relief!

I’ve been having trouble landing runs lately so I was stoked to be able to land my first run. When I looked at the score I got I was pretty surprised. i scored a 58 for a run that should have been around 70.

Second run we wanted to try something new and that didn’t quite work out.
But none the less I had a really fun day and I’m glad I looked at the positive side of things and tried something new.

Mid way through a front nine first hit.

Grand Prix wrap up.

In Uncategorized on December 11, 2011 at 12:12 PM

Today was the last day of the Grand Prix. The girls and both finals where the last to compete.
It was really good weather today which was good to see. Made for an even better show.

And when I competed:

Making excuses is the easy way out but the weather was really not ideal when I competed.
Like always I was riding really well in practice and the previous day but I just couldn’t seem to put it down when it counted.

It was a super early drive for us this morning but it was all worth it and Jenn got a really good result.

This week the plan is to get some really good training in before the Revolution Tour next week.

Ramping up for Grand Prix

In Uncategorized on December 7, 2011 at 11:41 AM

The last few days we have been getting ready for the grand Prix here at Copper Mountain.
It’s really good seeing all the face’s lately and catching up with friends.

The pipe has been soooo busy and it’s a bit of a fight to drop in.
Today it went next level and there was a collision in the pipe. The Chinese girl who got hit didn’t move at all and it took them about 20 minutes to get her out. Hope she is okay!!

I wanted to share a few photos of SSCV’s tuning room this is a state of the art facility.

Busy at Copper!

In Uncategorized on December 2, 2011 at 3:33 PM

I’ve been having heaps of fun riding up at copper the past few days but boy am I sick of all the people!
Most of them are courteous and everyone waits their turn to drop. But them you get the odd (insert name here) who likes to push In front of everyone. That really grinds my gears.

Everyone has been throwing their tricks pretty quickly and I’m starting to get all my tricks back and I’ll hopefully land my run in the next few days.

Copper pipe.

In Uncategorized on November 29, 2011 at 1:42 PM

Copper opened up their pipe a few days ago and it has been really good for the first few cuts. They put in a lot of work and made a really nice pipe.

As you can imagine being the first pipe in the country it is super busy all the national and domestic teams are out here getting ready for the first few competitions.

I haven’t had a chance to take good photos but here is one I took just now at night. I thought it was nice so here it is.

Tomorrow I will make sure I take a few more!
