What separates intermediate from advanced?

I don't know the answer to your question since I am not the event coordinator (just a local yocal). You could fill out their form online and ask them. Hopefully that will help out.

Ben,

It's the number of inverts/spins you do in your run. I will get the details and let you know.

OzWest,

Did you make it out to the 4'th Street Expo?

Later,

Jjakober - Yup...made it to the 4th Street Expo. Shot some video footage of the setup of the Grinch Winch (since that's the one my bf & I have been looking into purchasing) and a couple of the first hits on the slider. My bf had to get to work so we had to leave before the bands set up. Fun event.

NorthwestRider - Lake Entiat (if it's near Douglas...hope I have the right lake) is 151 miles west of Hauser, ID. This is a 2 hour 44 min. drive according to expedia.com. Not too bad of a drive. You should check it out. Very Happy

OzWest,

Sweet, then you have some video of me!! I was actually the lucky person to hit the slider first. It was a little scetchy at first but we started to get the hang of it.

What did you think of the event? If you make it out to Dukes of Hauser you need to say HI!

4th Street Expo was a great use of the space that was provided. Can't believe you packed all of that (including 50cc's, BMX, and skateboarding) into such a small area. The welding and construction of the rail & pools was really good. Looked like it would be fun to try although I've never hit a rail on a wakeboard (just on skateboards and snowboards).

If my bf doesn't have to work, we'll probably see you at Dukes of Hauser. This time, we'll leave our dog at home.

Hmmm looks like a radical time. 2 hours and 45 + the 3 hour drive back home from entiat would be pretty ruff...... too bad. Looks like a good contest.

yeah, i know it is the number of spins and flips, i was just looking for the specifics. last year it was 3 for intermediate and 6(i think) for advanced. i was just curious if they changed it at all this year.

Beginner – no inverts or handle pass spins
