After a bit of a slow start.. the session went off! The "Son of Beserker" jump as they dubbed it, was handled in serious style. It measured at exactly 100ft to the knuckle, so when the dudes handled it right they were going 120 and up easy. Lonnie Kauk in particular was chucking to the bottom of the landing.
Gabe.. bs180 degrees about 130ft down
The bottom setup was wild. Choose a takeoff.
Greg was busy checking the Obama/Clinton race all week on his fancy iPhone.
Brett was there... KILLIN IT!
So they had this insanely gnarly hip... dudes were sending it. After like 30 minutes there was a rut forming on the takeoff. Brett sent it a few times, but the last hit he got tossed hard right. He dropped like 100ft to pretty much flat and took a ride down in a stretcher. Brett Butcher is a TANK! Dude fractured a vertebrate in his back and still came out for sushi that night. Cheers to you Brett!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't worry.. i got it all on film.
On Thursday Scott Blum and I stayed up on the mountain a little late and had a quarterpipe sesh with Pat Bridges himself. Bridges has one of the best handplants in the biz, and the doubles runs with Scott and Pat were really rad. We took last chair off the mountain at 7:00.
The lift ride out was a little sketchy.
Scott Blum hittin up the ladies. He's good at that.
Blum. Capitas. Mammoth, JLA. enough said.
Oh and how can you come to Mammoth in the spring and not skate the sickest park ever!
Thank you JLA.
