i thought the young gun open was by far the stupedest comp of the year. the final throwdown was on a bunch of 30 ft tables. and what will happe to the current young guns if there are more next year.

^skiing isnt all about how big you throw mang. its about creativity. you can be just as creative on a 30 footer as you can on a 50 or a 70 or w/e. its all about the mindset you bring to it. just look at how nasty shea flynns run was. you can tell that he could throw down when he was on the 30s even if they were only 5s and a switch 7 at most. just matters how creative you are with what you have... just my two cents

They have a one year contract with line, siver, level, and scott. So after one years up they wont be the young guns any more.

It was alright, but things could have been improved about it. I hope they do hold another one next year even though I won't be competing, I just wan't to see this comp. idea built upon and improved.

Along with everyone else thats said it, there should defenitely be a YGO stop somewhere in WI or MI, alot of skiers here in the midwest are just as good as people out west and east (not to start any rivalries) but its pretty much true.

I think creativity is waaayyyy underrated and that while style and prorgression are super important that creativity are equally important

THANK YOU! I just wish the judges thought the same. Creativity is pretty much overlooked in comps.

it needs to be later like febuary or march, so people can get better throughout the year. then do the competition.

I think if they do have they should have like 10 to 15 stops and then have a final comp where the 10 to 15 winners have a daylong session then the top 4 are the young guns

And then if they do that then they would be either on there pro team or an amatuer level team. But they wouldnt be considered that years young guns any more.

i think keystone would have been awsome, the jumps are like the best anywhere, and the rails are sweet too.

maammoth really doesnt have that many good locals aside from the pros that move there. the towns population is actually pretty small, just aLOT of vacationers.

everyone may be doing them but that doesnt mean they dont look amazing...funny how people rag on stuff just because it becomes popular or mainstream. Plus shea made it creative cause he grabbed so goddam late
