3rd Annual Dummy Jump-Reschedule

Event Date: 
March 24, 2012

The Dummy Jump has been resheduled to March 24.  You have an additional week to make a dummy!

The Dummy Jump is back for its third year! Basically, you build it and we send it off a huge jump. Gather your friends, build a "dummy" that can slide on snow without assistance. Be creative! Judges love themes and of course, the biggest crash possible! Music by Jack & Jill from 3-6pm.

If you're building a dummy, here are some helpful tips: Give it some weight. Dummies need to be a little heavy to pick up the speed needed for a 20 foot jump and serious airtime.Make sure it slides straight. If using skis, measure them at tip, middle and tail to make sure they're perfectly parallel.Have fun with it! Get creative. Materials we've seen used in the past: bathtub, washing machine, wheelchair, keg, and a toilet. Just don't use hazardous materials or fireworks.
