See you there. I wouldn't miss it. Last year was sweet. Keul was on fire with that 5.65 jump. And Neidermeyer and Grande looked awsome too. Hope I can hang with the big guns this time around.

Anyone have a preliminary list of who's going to be jumping? I know Paul Litchfield and Daniel Ryland are going. Who else?

I'm coming too!
