@jody seal actually M3 can jump at 57k but not on 5.5', they can only jump on 5'. I will, as far as I know, be the only MM overall skier this year this year at Nationals and it's disappointing. I am working on some other guys to join me, some have said they might next year, we'll see. I'm pretty sure our M4 skiing conditions matches what the rest of the world considers 45+ (Sr 2). When they upped the M4 jump speed a year or two ago (I think) that brought M4 up to the same playing level. M3 just does not still match. My reason for interjecting in this conversation is that too many times people think of MM as a slalom division. I realize that was the original intention of the division but it is no longer only a slalom division.
I still have hopes that MM Jump will grow as more M2 graduate into M3....or maybe I'm just one of the few 35+ guys thats not ready to jump 5'. Michael McCormick only skis in MM, I know Tommy James was jumping MM at one point
@MS Are you going to Nationals this year? I also disagree that you shouldn't be "invited". Qualifying for your countries national championship is a great feat and you should be proud.
Thanks for the compliments guys.
