Booter time.

Had a pretty amazing day yesterday. Woke up feeling slightly hung over from too many beers, dew to Stef Zeestratens Birthday Celebrations, and the circle of death. Got a call that it was on to go build/shoot a jump with the boys from Distracted Media.

We headed out past Copper, towards Leadville and dug our selves a driveway, off the highway.

Crew getting ready

The distracted boys had previously built this spot, but had trouble with the speed, and had built the jump a bit kooky. We had a massive crew of almost 10 people working on it this time, with both skiiers and snowboarders building in harmony. Whilst the snowboarders shuvelled, the skiiers worked on the run in. The result being a 12 foot tall, 8 foot wide booter, with about a 70 foot gap to the knuckle. LEGIT.

The work of art.

The level of riding was pretty amazing. The skiiers absoloutley killed it, with everything from 10's, to double flips going down. Jamie Culp, a.k.a the Culpirt, slayed it on a snowboard, with some steezy back 7 tails, and a dope front 7 off the toes. Matto Smith was there, but couldn't ride as he has a twekaed ankle, hopefully we can hit this spot with him soon. For now, heres a sneak peak of the jump!

Someones dog scopes the jump...
