The first qualifier contest for the 2010 Winter Olympics is going on right now in Colorado.
100 of the best Half PIpe riders in the world are there. Everyone is duking it out trying to get a spot on their own country's teams.
Today they cut 100 down to 16 in a heated battle, and Dustin qualified 5th overall and was the top Canadian.
Pretty exciting. I guess he started his run with a frontside 1080 16ft out.
Shaun White was first (shocker) and my boy Louie Vito in 2nd.
Anyway, tomorrow is the finals so send Dirty Dusty some positive energy. Blast him on facebook. If he gets a top 5 tomorrow he's assured a spot on the Canadian Olympic Team. If he doesn't then he still has 3 more contests between now and the Olympics where he just needs to keep riding better than the other Canadians.
If you want to watch, the finals will be on NBC this Sunday at 11am pacific time.
Peace!

I was rooting him on the past 2 days during Grand Prix, bummer to see him fall the 2nd run but stoked I got to see him ride and I hope he gets on the Canadian team.
