Kelly Clark has won about every pipe contest this year so no surprise she won the Chicken Jam pipe event at Mammoth Mountain. It was a good pipe, good action and good vibes but not sure if the other top girls just gave up, are hurt or they make so much money that they do not have to show up. I mean I love Gretchen Bleiler, Elena Hight, Hannah Teter and stuff but they were in Mammoth for the Chicken Jam and it would have been sick if they were. Torah Bright was actually there but she dislocated her shoulder in practice and that was that. That was a shame because her switch trickery would have been stoked the fans plus, she would have given Kelly Clark a run for her money. Considering the prize money and the fact that it was a Ticket To Ride event it was surprising more of girl pipe riders were not there but that just meant we got to see some different faces on the podium so that's cool too. The Chicken Jam is a fun time though and the weather certainly cooperated with sunny skies. The crew made a good pipe, lots of male pros (Lonnie Kauk, Louie Vito, Austin Smith was there, Sketchy D, Dingo and so on) were riding around; it was kind of more of a party than a contest.

Sean Lake and Todd Richards were the announcers. How they kept talking for like 8 hours, I don't know, they were funny though
Kelly Clark pretty much put the field to shame. It was said that she was feeling pretty sick and still managed to pull back to back 7's and big airs for the win
There was a big overseas contingent at the Chicken Jam. Here is Cilka Sadar from Slovakia, maybe
Cheryl Maas, more known for slopestyle was getting super tech in the pipe, here is an alley oop backside 5
Conny Bleicher from Innsbruck, Austria
Jordan Karlinski from the exotic location called Breckenridge Colorado
Former Burton rider Molly Aguirre, who now rides for DC is one of the nicest girls out there for sure, always has a smile on her face
Molly is nice but when she gets in the pipe she can be fierce though. Molly was having some sick runs but falling on her last trick – a backside 9. She was one of the few girls to try 9’s and if she would have made it, she would have been on the podium and maybe the top of the podium for sure. Here is a Method air that looks more in place in Washington (the official home of the Method) which means she is grabbing properly behind the foot and tweaking

Sarka Pancochova came all the way from the Czech Republic
Hope there is beer in that cup
Linn Haug from Trondheim Norway got 4th
Mercedes Nicoll came from Whistler and is a good bet for the 2010 Canadian Olympic team. She placed second at the Chicken Jam
When you get second you have to pose for stupid pictures for stupid guys like me, guess it comes with doing well
