Brian Detrick is the new "Rico King"

[Horton]

The news is that Detrick ran 5 @ 41 again today. That is 3 terrible "Rico" scores in the last 2 weeks. If Brian can't just get 1/4 more I think he should take up golf.

A "Rico" is any score of 5 => not 4 ½ and not 5 ¼ or more => just a score of 5. A "Rico" is the worst possible score at any line length. This is in honor of the number of times I have seen @Rico be early out of 4 ball at 38 off and somehow screw up and only get 5.

[Razorskier1]

so mean. Go Detrick!

[Horton]

@Razorskier1 without my abuse he is never going to get 6.

Great skiing @Detrick. Can't wait to hear news of you making all 6.

I am shocked it took @Horton this long to speak up on this subject! 5 is a tough score and getting 4.5 or 5 balls in 5 of the last 7 tournament rounds is both awesome and probably tough to stew on. But it will go down and when it does it will be even more satisfying after a pile of Ricos!!

[Dirt]

That is the worst score. I got a half (not at 41) Friday and was just glad it was not a Rico.

Great skiing Brian!

5 sucks, but I hate falling at one ball more. If I end up in be lake at one even in practice it drives me nuts.

[Horton]

@bishop8950 I totally disagree. If you fall at 1 ball you have to just laugh and say s*** happens. Getting 5 and not running the pass means you had it in the palm of your hand and it got away. I'm pretty sure BD should just take up golf.

[bishop8950]

That's fine @Horton, but falling at one still pisses me off more.

 

BFD got another 5 today. I guess everyone thought he had it. So I think it goes like this:

 

Shortline 5, 5, 3.5, 4.5

Lymanland 4.5, 4.5, 5, 5

Liquid Zone next weekend???

[Horton]

Anybody have the official list of skiers who have run 41 in the tournament?

[bishop8950]

Unofficial, but I believe it's this and it may be in order. Happy to be corrected

I hate to admit @horton is right about ANYTHING, but yes- getting a Rico means golf is imminent

[lantley]

TGas ran 41 off and then scored 1@43 back in 2006. But it was a C Class and probably unofficial...

[Horton]

Recall heaing TGas ran it in run off somewhere

[skidawg]

@Horton '07 worlds I think

[bishop8950]

all due credit to Tgas and I think one or two others who ran it in a non-record event, but I think that is a different list than those who did it in a record and the score showed up on the IWSF world ranking list

[Booze]

Got to talk to Brian some this weekend. He's a cool, humble guy that has the skills and REALLY wants to knock down 41.

I think he'll do it.

[Horton]

@Booze there's no doubt he's going to do it soon and then I'll have to stop screwing with him ( about this)

[Chad_Scott]

I drove Brian all 4 rounds. Without question 3 of the 4 he should have run. Most impressive was the round he seemed to have a bad start and still managed five at 41. He will definitely be the next one to run it. He's going to be in the hunt at the Malibu Open in August. Should make for some great competition. Looking forward to it.
