00:00My name's Hank Miner, I'm from Sun Valley, Haley, the Wood River Valley.
00:25I have been here my whole life, I've seen it kind of go through a trough and now it's
00:29starting to come back, the upper side of that trough, you know, high times back in the 70s.
00:33Sun Valley had the freestyle scene in the country.
00:37The scene was large and growing and big, it was lots of bumps, all the bumps you could
00:42handle.
00:43And now I can see it coming back, it was really neat to see that.
00:48But we didn't have the jumps or the pipes or the rails until this year, 2010, and it's
00:55been a cool year.
00:57When I hiked up Baldy and I saw the size of that jump that you guys built up there, I
01:01was just so happy to see that this town is starting to come back to the community.
01:07This is what it needs, this is what it's lacked in the last 20, 30 years.
01:12A lot of the locals, old timers were out just to check it out and they were in awe.
01:18And I come out here every day and just watch, and they push the entire halfpipe down the
01:24mountain.
01:25And there was this massive, massive pile of snow.
01:28And then when the thing was complete and sculpted the way that the boys wanted it, it's a beautiful
01:35jump.
01:36Huge jump.
01:37Man, when we first got there, like, I didn't really know what to think, I knew it was going
01:44to go off eventually, I just didn't really want to hit it first.
01:47So Chris took care of that.
01:49Dropping left side.
01:51I kind of thought, you know, it would be a little better to go too big than to go too
01:54small on that thing, so I kind of just pointed it and just sacked up and went for it, I guess.
02:00Three, two, one.
02:08It looked big, but having someone hit that really put everything into perspective.
02:13It was big.
02:16It took me a minute to get my balls up there, toss them over the shoulder.
02:21Everything was going good, got some warm-up jumps in, everyone was feeling good about
02:26it.
02:27And then finally we got the call that Helly was on the way, you just hear it in the distance
02:30and it finally comes over the mountain and it's just, damn.
02:46It's the best I'd say.
02:48If you want a better place to live, then you said the word today.
02:54Show the world that love is still alive, you must be brave.
03:00All you children of today are children of the grave.
03:06Yeah!
03:08So the wind from the Helly, like the downdraft, I guess, it's just blowing it everywhere,
03:16and definitely when you go right next to the Helly, just trying to cover your face and
03:21you can really feel the wind from it, it's definitely another factor you've got to kind
03:25of think about on your way into the jump, other than the fact that the jump's huge and
03:30you've got to do a trick.
03:33Revolution in their lives, the Germans are too much.
03:39They hate the world, they used to have to live to the best in their hearts.
03:45They're tired of being pushed around, they don't know what to do.
03:51They'll fight the world until they fall in, but love comes flowing through.
03:57Yeah!
03:58Yeah, so I did one Rodeo 5, went way too big, and pretty much went the biggest I've probably
04:04ever gone on skis.
04:08It was scary coming around and knowing all you have left to do is fall.
04:14Children of tomorrow, they'll never see that fall today.
04:20Will the sunrise of tomorrow bring peace in any way?
04:27Will the world live in the sky?
04:30Probably just watching P-White front flip it was my favorite, just so slow.
04:36Or will they disappear?
04:41I don't even like doing front flips anymore, but everyone makes me, and then anytime I
04:45get a shot of doing something, it's me doing the front flip.
04:48It sucks.
04:50So you children of the world, listen to what I say.
04:58For you children of today are children of the grave.
05:04Yeah!
05:20Yeah!
05:50Yeah!
