I hope you got yourself back up there and stomped that, it looked like you had it locked in in the air!

Great to see lots of entries coming in for the various contests, this thread is awesome!

Can you clarify the last category Boxhead or Rider (or mods maybe)?

“4. Best attempt (must grab before wipeout) - $250 in prizes”


From that I take it as: Best attempt at any trick from 1440 to straight air as long as it has a grab and wipeout?  or did you mean best attempt at a flying squirrel with grab and stack?? or even best attempt at straight air or 180 or FS with grab and stack?

I have some crashes with grabs but not keen to dig them out for people if they aren’t eligible anyway smile. Personally I think what is written means that any grab attempt no matter what trick, is eligible (and a bit late to change it now if it isn’t sposed to mean that). plus it means we get to see more stacks, as the 360 above shows and that is a good thing haha.

That’s correct. As long as there is a clean grab followed by a wipeout. We aren’t looking for the best wipeout, but the best attempt which meets all the criteria we set out in the original post.

Fixed. You only need the AncXXlJLiMc between the youtube tags, not the entire URL.

I think his one at Piper looked more impressive lol.

It will be up soon I think (might already be there)

 

Here is my first entry into the grab for swag

Backside 1 with indy grab on the second last jump at perisher front valley.


I’ll enter some more soon and you can decide which one is best as I realise I can only go in one category…..

 

This is my 2nd entry

Straight air with nose grab on the last jump at perisher front valley.
