Baller aupatking Posted July 10, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 10, 2015 @Edbrazil and @Horton you guys were dead on, Bell Acqua. Beautiful venue, great ski site, historic too. Thank you Bret Meiner (sp?). You guys have a great site and great members. Bret gave me pull and some help too. I've said it over and over, I'm just getting back to skiing, and not planning to stay on longer lines for long. Bret was a great help. Thank you sir. Anyone who gets a chance, ski this historic place. Thank you Mike Todd for getting me a couple sets lined up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Edbrazil Posted July 10, 2015 Baller Share Posted July 10, 2015 The Bell Acqua site has a unique distinction: 3 World Record jump distance payouts. First, at the US Open 2000 for Toni Neville, then at the Malibu Open 2002 for both Elena Milakova and Freddy Krueger. $25000 X 3 = $75000. At the year 2000 event, Scot Ellis had his lifetime personal best (so far) of 70.1 meters, which was just a foot shy of a World Record for him. We did some strange stuff there. For year 2000, the jump rideout was too short for the guys, and so the ramp was moved back 40 feet. Still, Bruce Neville did an island-ride. In 2002, we turned the jump ramp around into the prevailing headwind. And, of course, people thought that we were nuts to mess with an existing jumping setup. There was barely enough room on the countercut vs. shore, and no time to relax before the 600 buoy. Emma Sheers did exceed the World Record, but Elena took it away just 2 minutes and 55 seconds later, at the 2002 event. The 2002 event likely killed the Golden Goose for record JU bonuses. None offered since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
