Hello people. Last saturday I did a USASA Slopestyle #2 at Mt. High. It was so fun. We got there early to register. We got our bibs and free breakfast. Then we started doing practice runs. The jumps were perfect. Not too big, even maybe a little small. We took a run on the course and then hit the powder on the way down. It was great. Then came time to drop. My friend Brandon dropped 1st. From the top you couldn't really see the whole course, but later he told me that his first run was his best. Then I dropped. I did Frontside 50-50 to Frontside Lipslide on a down box. Then the 1st jump, Method. The second jump, Roast Beef. The 3rd Jump, Frontside 360 Indy. I kind of sketched out on the 360 but just kept going. Then we had time for 1 more run for fun before we had to drop for the contest again. We just kind of kept practicing and made it back to the top in time. He dropped first again. He said that his 2nd run wasn't as clean but still good. He did straight airs with grabs and then a shifty on the last jump. Then I dropped for my 3rd and final run. This one was so much better. On the first run, I came off a little early on the down box, but this run I stayed on the whole time. Then I went Method to Roast Beef to Frontside 360 Indy Clean. I was pretty happy with my run but I didn't know what the other guys did. I ended up in 5th Place. That just shows how good these guys were. My friend Brandon is 1 year younger than me, so he was in 1 division below and his run took 1st. Stoked for him. I was kind of wishing I was in his division, but now I just have to push myself more. Overall it was a fun day. Then this weekend, we went up just to ride. He was practicing for filming in Mammoth. I was practicing for a USASA Rail jam next weekend. Depending on the setup I might do it and I might not. Either way, today we each filmed 1 run and I edited it together really quick. Here it is. Not our best riding or filming. Next vid will be better.
