Denver was chosen to host the international ski and snowboard BIG AIR competition in downtown Denver. It was held in Civic Center park. The park is between the capital and Civic Center building litterally in downtown Denver. I heard about it coming to town and was like "HMM, I think I want to go". I drove passed where it was gonna be on may way some where a few weeks before it started while they were setting up for it and just knew there was no reason for me not to go. So the first night of it, on a tuesday, was skiing. I had no plans that night so ended up going to downtown Denver by myself to watch them do the ski jumps. I definately did not feel the need to fork out big bucks for a ticket so I watched it on the side where it was free. The jumps the skiiers did were amazing and I was just like "holy cow, there's NOO way I would ever try that!" During the show there was a concert and that was way fun too. The band for the first night was Switchfoot. When I heard the band was gonna be there I got SOOO excited 'cause I do quite love that band and I got myself a free concert. There were SOOO many people there and I went by myself and didn't feel like a dork or anything 'cause I figured I wouldn't run into anyone I knew since there were so many people there and I didn't see anyone I knew. I just didn't care that I was by myself because I had fun either way!!!
The next night were the snowboarders doing their jumps. This night was much more fun 'cause I had a better view of the ramp they went down. I heard that a friend had extra tickets for a better view so I definately hit him up on that one so I could go again and see the snowboarders since I saw the skiiers the previous night. It was another night of jaw dropping thoughts of "I couldn't do that." The jumps they all did were insane. There was another concert for the night of another band I LOVE- One Rebublic. I went and met my friend there and enjoyed it with him and his girlfriend, for a little bit. Well I suppose they didn't enjoy it as much as I did and left early into it. I was enjoying it far too much to leave and figured I'd be fine since I was there by myself the night before. I had another great night of watching winter sports get some air and it was another insane night of AHH. I will totally go see it all again if it comes back to Denver in the future!!!Mid-air snowboarding shot...
This is a WOW jump with the boarder up so high...
Here's the side view I had of the ramp the skiiers and boarders "flew" down for the first night!!!
There had to be some intermission in between with some people out with their skiis to groom up the hill since it got dug into with the falls and landings with the boards and skiis.
Snowboarder with AMAZING view and jump...
