Boozer Mike Memorial Jam 2019- #5

 Way back in 1992 or 93, Mike Brown, who already had earned the nickname Boozer, built this line of jumps.  That's when Sheep Hills was just getting built up into the basic layout that still exists now, 28 years later.  Since this was Mike's signature line, it got named Boozer.  Boozer Mike's signature jump was a bow legged X-up, so Dogger and Sean and crew held  bow legged X-up contest over the last jump of the Boozer line.  I shot these photos during the practice for that. 

The funny part was, a several of the younger riders weren't familiar with the term "bow legged," and we had to explain it with them.  "Do and X-up and get your knees way out to the sides."  So here are several of the bow legged X-up styles.

 S&M's Jesse Gregory, the only woman in the contest, was the first to get the idea, and was doing the best ones in practice.  But then a couple of the guys figured the trick out, and edged her out in the contest runs.
