Slam Detail: I'm 25 yrs old, I have been snowboarding for 16 yrs and I ride the backcountry of Idaho in the winter with my friends, this is a slam from a couple of years ago that was pretty gnarly. For my entry for best slam here, I was trying to ride these pillows and as you can see on the 2nd try, I hit the tree pretty hard, I thought I broke my hip but it was just really bruised.

It was a hard-faught battle between Libby, the J3 Racer from Middlebury, Vermont who crashed hard in her GS race and Cedar Jocks, the man who attracted a love-hate relationship with people in the blog comment area, a freeskier who ripped his derriere wide open in Breckenridge, Colorado.

It was neck and neck for the 4 days since Cedar submitted, with Libby getting mad support from her friends on Facebook. It looked like she might just catch up to Cedar...

... but in the end, it was...

1. Libby McCusker who pulled out the unbelievable upset with a late flurry of TWEETS, reeling in 406 FB Likes and 214 Tweets for a total of 620 VOTES! She wins the and wins the back protector!
2. Cedar Jocks was KILLING IT for days now, but in the end Libby's Tweet mania knocked him off the top spot. Cedar got a total of 492 FB Like votes and 9 Tweets for a total of 501 votes;
3. Chad Lichtenberger with 98 FB Likes and 3 Tweets (101 votes) wins a T-Shirt.
