"Part the Second," of...

regionals, as I bastardize "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner."
I'll start with my part-time tricking partner, Pat Pickford. Not bad, second place in M3 tricks, He missed the title by a mere 90 points.

2 PICKFORD, PAT IA 42 FORT MADISON, IA 1850 950 2800 E 968.9

By the way, folks, here's a link to the results:
  • 2006 Midwest Regional championships


  • Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes. Unfortunately, Bob doesn't live next to any of them in Farmington. But he still managed to ski respectably.

    My less-than desirable trick skiing was the main reason I missed 2nd overall by a mere 20 points.
    2 HEFLEY, GRANT MOO 26 BLUE SPRINGS, MO 1000 618 653 2271.3 M
    3 TOLEDANO, RYKERT IAO 30 CORALVILLE, IA 984 387 880 2251.2 M

    Excuse me, 20.1 points

    Well, if misery loves company in tricks, Steve Hansen (formerly of Dream Lake, Now living in Minnesota-kinda like Bob) was right there with me. Admittedly, he was off his game as well.

    After falling in a tournament remember:
    1. Throw ski.
    2. Put face in water.
    3. Cuss like a sailor.

    still more to come...


    can you stand it?????????
