hey everybody,
a goot morgan to you from this lovely yet cold country! This week has been somewhat crazy, because Andys board bag did not arrive until Wednesday night. He did get a temporary set up, but had to spend half of the practice time just getting it together and trying to get it dialed in case his board set up did not show. Despite all of that drama, Andy was still able to pull off some awesome tricks and do great last night. They had the qualies, which only took the top 16 out of 24 guys onto the money making round. He placed 5th in the qualies and than they had three separate categories including Straight Air, Flat Spins and Inverted. Each category includes two runs and whatever your score was (1000 being the max) that is how many norweigan KRONS you would receive. So, with all three categories and runs combined Andy placed 3rd overall! You can check out this websight for more info. http://www.thearcticchallenge.com/web/tac/mainpage
this website also includes a video of andy playing his violin for the tv cameras. Andy has been practicing with a local Norweigan band "the killing machines", which he has actually recorded with in the past and now it is just another part of andy and "the arctic challenge" that people look forward to. so, he has been getting a lot of requests to play the violin! They also had a signing for the snowboarders to do at the local "SWAG" snowboard shop, including Andy, Terje Haakenson, Kevin Pearce, scotty lago, and all the other big names! So, all the local kids were pretty excited to have a chance to the legends!
Finals are tomorow, so I will keep you updated and let you know what goes down! have a great day....
