Today the halfpipe started out great. we got up there before the sun was out and rode the icy pipe for an hour of practice before the girls started. after the girls we had semi finals, a lot of people were having a tough time landing a run due to the icy walls. including me and luke. bummer. but oh well we posted up and watched our frends Mason Scotty and mitchy brown ride in finals until the storm rolled in halfway through everyones second runs. somehow they kept the contest rolling and mitchy brown, local new zealand rider, landed a sick run and took scotty off the top of the podium and took home the gold. so it was still good enough seeing my best friends win the contest even though i did so bad. and of course scotty also got best trick in pipe with a hugefrontside 900 melon.
than after awards the clouds broke up and the sun popped out. so we decided to squeeze in the quarterpipe contest before the sun went down. once again scotty killed on the quarterpipe and won best trick on that and also won the overall. i went as fast as i could go into the quarterpipe basically and took home the highest air.
so overall today was a gooood day.
