Show sReom WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1974 $35,000 ... HOT 20-in- ch nt 935,000-total-pur- se 5-- changed radically from the two seasons of previous organized freestyle skiing. In an effort to pull freestyle skiing into a cohesive professional form, IFSA, the In- ternational Freestyle Skiing . Association, organized a panel of nine delegates to originate a set of judging criteria and test them during the qualifications for the Beconta Cup which was held at This panel inPark West Feb. 6-- 9. cluded three representatives from the Eastern Ski Areas, two from the areas, and Mid-Weste- rn four from the Intermountain areas, encompassing not only Utah, Idaho, and Colorado, but also Western areas such as Heavenly Valley and Tahoe. Stein Enksen, Director of Skiing at Park City Resort, was named as Chief Examiner and headed up Ihe panel which included John Jenkins of Park West, Adolph Im-bode- n, and Tom Leroi, among others. Originally, the judging at the various areas was done in a kind of helter-skeltfashion and by a different panel of judges from the ski industry each time. The criteria of judging otten included such things as crowd appeal, how high and how far the competitors jumped, and how fast or spectacular the run was. This year, the judges at each event will include at least one member from the panel organized at Park West andor another member of IFSA. The criteria for judging will be much more technical this year than in previous years. It was developed with advice and suggestions from a large and diversified group including competitors, ski industry people, competition sponsors, ski area personnel, ski area physicians, and other interested parties. Their proposals were reviewed, selected, and approved by IFSA er Number three and next to Steve is Ed Poquett. Ed was born in San Francisco and learned to ski in Reno before moving .to Utah in 1966 with his parents. He has lived in the Park City Salt Lake area since then, while working at Park West as a lift attendant. However, as with most, the basic boredom of operating a lift set in and a maximum distance from the lip of the jump will' be designated and the minimum must be covered in the With the World Super Hot Dog Championships for the Beconta Cup just around the corner, a few pertinent facts about this years judging might help' alTspectaTors understand what is running through each judges mind as hie views the events along with you. The judging this year has together skiing. minimum . upright jumps only; otherwise it will be considered an Unsafe jump. Exceeding the maximum limit will also DQ that particular run; especially in the inverted and twisting aerials. A hand brushing the snow on a landing will cost in penalty points. However, if a butt or a back touches automatic DQ ! Leading off the line-u- p in the photograph is Bob Theobald, who is this years defending champion. Theos skiing background for the past few years has varied little, that is, it has varied only as to where he skis. Born in Delta, Utah, and raised in . the Intermountain area, Bob has had . ample opportunity to ski. With an athletic background composed of five years of ballet experience, high school and college football, springboard diving, and trampoline and acrobatic work, Theo seems a natural for freestyle skiing. This experience has netted him not' only some pretty impressive prizes, but also such positions as National Freestyle Chairman for the USSA and a member of the Board of Direc- tors of the International Freestyle Skiers Association. Not only does Theo perform freestyle maneuvers in comhe also teaches them petition in his Get Hot Freestyle Ski School. His pet project since 1970, Get Hot has attracted many skiers of all abilities who wish to extend their skiing further than it has gone before and maybe GETHOT!! Next in line is Steve Strand. Steve, like many of us, has lived kind of here and there. His skiing pretty much began while he was living on the East Coast. Journeying to Vermont and New Hampshire, Steve learned to ski before moving to San Francisco to ski in the Tahoe area. In 1971, he moved to Park City where he has been skiing for the past three seasons. During the 1971-7- 2 and Ed entered the Instructor Training Program at Park City Resort during the 1971-7- 2 season, the same year Steve did. In the spring of that same season, he was enticed out of the program and into Bob Theobalds Get Hot Freestyle Skiing Program at Solitude. He taught there the rest of that season and all the next. He was going to enter into combut petition the Spring of 1972-7in unfortunately, he was injured a skiing accident. This year he again is teaching in the Get Hot program and hopes that his freestyle skiing will enable him to become involved in the ski industry. Next to Ed, and finishing out the four entrants from Park City, is Marty Lofquist. Hailing 3, from Portland, Oregon, and having skied since he was about six or seven years old, Marty admitted that he had never really taken skiing seriously until he got into racing while in high school. He raced all through high school and later on while attending Mt. Hood Community College and Southern Oregon College. In 1971, he read about the National Gelun-d- e Championships at Alta, hutched down to enter, and just happened to win the pro division for distance and form. He then moved down to Park City and started doing freestyle on his own. He heard about people doing flips and daffys and decided to try it out himself. Later, he ran into Theo and skied with him on the Get Hot Demonstration Team. He and Theo and a couple of other guys got together and cooked up the famous Park City Leap for Life. They built a ramp of hay bales and snow on Main Street to throw them over a van parked in the street. Marty refers to this as one of the more sane things Ive done. When the snow got too wet and slow, due to rain, they turned around 'and had a chugging contest in the old Forge. That isnt the only contest he has entered, as Marty has done well in previous Freestyle competition. In closing, he mentioned that he might take up something easy, like surfing.

Steve enjoys teaching; Bob Theobold recognized this and asked him to teach in the Get Hot program at Park West this season. When asked about why he decided to enter into competition this year, he cited not only the experience of it, the excitement, and possibly the prizes, but also the chance to engage in a more dynamic and progressive form of in (me continuous run. During the contest you can look for two different kinds of runs in this category. One will be the slow, smooth, fluid run and the other will be a faster (relatively speaking) run including tricks that require more speed. In the Mogul division, the competitors will have to be a lot morr technical this year. The skier wlr is aggressive, technical, continuous, and above all, on his skis and not on the snow, will score well. Body contact with the snow (other than the hands) will net the contestant only penalty points so dont look for shoulder rolls and other related maneuvers. Air in a mogul run is always exciting, but be executed well as recoveries from falls are not allowed. Aerials are the tightest this year. A flight plan must be submitted and followed; changing jumps in mid-ru- n automatically DQs (disqualifies) that run.
