its probably the best snowboard contest in the world. hands down! the 25th edition of the LBS took place the last couple of days. due to the bad overall snow conditions, some extra turns had to be added to reduce the speed a bit.mu and sani were both pretty amped on racing. christian unfortunately could not enter as there went something wrong and his spot was already taken by somebody else.
(mark landvik, through the gates)
the day before the first quali is traditionally the night of 'waxing parties'. so did sani and mu. they brought some secret weapons and we had a funny evening with some beers, wine and of course some turns of applying differnent layers of wax to their shredsticks.
(sani, middle of the course, legs already on fire)
(best pricegiving of the best contest in the world!)
in the end, they only missed the finals by some 10th of a second and were pretty bummed. i think, they did really great, considering that it was their first appearance ath the banked and the only way to train for that event is the race itself. heads up, guys... we'll for sure be in baker again next year!!!
temple cummings and maelle ricker took the title for pro men and pro women. the pricegiving was probably the best, i've ever seen in snowboarding. these people at baker are just great! best atmosphere ever! :)
we'll definitely be back in 2011!
