wow a 300 dollars thats pretty weak. that wasnt even 3rd at the buckmans contest. this whole invitational thing is a joke if they ever really wanted it to go anywhere it would be an open series where anyone could do it. and 35 dollars for both contests is ridiculous, were not made of money. to me it sounds like there trying to make money on this which isnt usually the idea behind a contest, its to promote your company/ store and at higher levels to push the level of snowboarding or skiing which is impossible for bear to do cause they cant even build a good course 90 % of the time. if i do end up doing this its only because im trying to win a board for my friend whos just got stolen.
