I started with the Birkie wave 1 twice and qualified for the Elite once. Being 15 min behind the best guys is like being an infinity away... every extra 5 min at that level needs an additional 5 hrs a week of training and an additional set of 5 "good" genes.
I skied the Birkie for my first time this year and only with a month of training-had neve skied before that and finished a little over 5 hours. Those guuys who were in the Elite Wave are digustingly fast. I wish i had speed like that.

I heard that Babikov's skis were bought 'off the rack' at a MSP store! Whoa ...

Fine video of an epic finish. 9 skiers in 2.9 seconds! What Main Street event could come close to this?
