Ripping Part 2

Team animal style, baby! Team animal style! Animal were you on that end? What would you say you were channeling? Uh, like a little bit of a turtle at times, especially on my back down that drop. Sick, buddy! Sick! Vocal bell. There we go. Let's go! So now that the comp's over, Tony, did you enjoy your time? Did, really did. Good. So much so that I'm wearing Flylow kit this evening. Definitely not flying high. Because all the best telemark skiers wear Flylow stuff. Actually, I just received word that since I wore this Flylow coat over here, I've been bumped up in the standings to 6th overall. Jundai, how did you enjoy Crested Butte? Telemark Championships. Yes. Yes. But I don't know. Good answer. Yes, but— See you next week. Okay. Alaska. Well, oh yeah, are you going to Alaska? Yes. Are you? Yeah. Really? Yeah. Sick. Like, I'll start tomorrow. Okay. Tomorrow? Perfect. Yeah. Yep, it's a shame you're not another few months older, then you could just do Masters up there. Yeah, still 39 years old. Yeah, still 39. You could lie though. Yeah, well, good luck out there. Thanks. And the young person, Connor Davis, has his own website. Don't know if you've been there, connordavis.com. Tell us how you went. I went from 3rd to 2nd to 5th to something, and I got a sick goggle tan. Ah, nice. So how come you did so much jumping around in the places? I have no idea, judging I don't know. Oh, calling out on the judging, that's a little bit— I think that was like hard to judge because everybody was skiing the same line. Yep, pretty much. Yep. Yeah, your second run you didn't do so well, did you? No, I didn't like that one. Second run was okay. Yeah, sorry, third run. Yeah, your super final was pretty good, but the third one was pretty crap. That's why you jumped to fifth, just letting you know. That's why it happened. And then Kate. Um, yeah, hey, yep, Kate. Kate kept her binding on today. I did. Miracle. Miracle. Yep. And you skied one line which only, uh, 3 girls skied, so that's good. How about tell us about your last run after you add the Mandatory air. Well, I snowplowed into it and then I was like, whoa, landed and proceeded to fix my pole as I slid out on my butt. But I stood up right away, so yeah, we'll see. Pretty good. I liked that. Yep, yep. So just a little bit of advice, I would work on snowplowing better. Snowplow landings. Yeah, snowplowing at 50 miles an hour is kind of hard, so you should work on that. Yeah. Oh, that's a good idea. That's right, well done. And then how come you didn't ski today, Hillary? Well, I got last place. How come? I got a score of 0 for my second run yesterday. I think I might be the only person who did that in the competition. Well, my binding fell off. Typical telemark competition equipment failure. Yep. Well, that's enough talking an interview anyway. I already did an interview with him. Do another one. Um, I don't know, I felt like I did all my runs in my dreams. I can't— I couldn't sleep this whole time. I was really nervous. And yeah, I just have to get better at jumping off things is what I need to work on. That's, that's fair. It's critical. Alex, tell us how your run went today? Well, it started off really strong, and I felt, uh, I felt like a really nice combination of flow and aggressiveness. And then, um, I realized really quickly that perhaps my aggressiveness was too stout for my ski strength. And wow, just like that, pulled up the whole inside, uh, two screws of my bender. Uh-huh, my telemark bender. Yep. I skied the rest of the way down really uncomfortably because my binding was like this. So I'm like, you know, trying to do those moves. Get the angle of attack here. Yeah, yeah, it's actually, it was like kind of more like this. For her efforts, Kate Hurahan from Elton. All right, into the money, taking home $150 for his efforts with a total score of 122.6 points, Connor Davis from Ketchum, Idaho. And with a grand total score of 138.6 points, skiing flawlessly every run of this whole competition, taking home $1,000,
