It was a beautiful day, the best you could ask for a rail jam. We showed up about an hour early took a couple laps to warm up, then made our way to the setup. It was a really fun, pretty mellow setup that consisted of two different lines to choose from. I had a blast practicing on the setup and interacting with the locals up there.
The Open Class Women had 30 minutes for the jam and final, so I went to work right away. It was so awesome to do a rail jam that had a magic carpet right next to it, so if you didn't want to hike, you didn't have to!
I got a few good tricks on the features and was pretty pleased, but I really wanted to gap to the down of the down flat down feature on the harder line. The speed wasn't quite there but after 3 tries and some really helpful guys towing me in, I finally got it!
I was really happy to have had the support of my roommates, and my friend Ryan Bregante who took some great photos.
