Friday announced with sun and speculation. Signaling mother earth to power up legs and send big air. The unshaven savages of SGT Argentina (Chris Coulter & Andrew Burns) co-mingled up with clients Jimmy Hessler, Jack Hessler and Chase Josey to gain lift like condors probing the clouds in search of the sky’s limit in The Arnet Winter Net 2012 at Cerro Catderal.
The SGT family laid down skis and boards, erected a cheering sections and hang over dens in support of the jumping, friends and fun. The show saw a menagerie of Siente Ventes (720’s) in the qualify rounds forcing 4 members of la familia into the final.
At conclusion the crowd witnessed Andrew Burns conquer third place and claim a nice pay day (which he donated to the good people at Mute). SGT friend and heavy hitter Matti Schmitt stood tall in second and “The Legend” Chris Coulter soared a massive front side 900 well past the perceived landing zone to his well tone legs and 1st place.
Thank you to all the competitors for preforming the appropriate spins and awakening the snow gods, allow us to receive the gift of snow today.
