Jay Panther makes his first World Cup Finals!

Hello,

I got fifteenth today in the World Cup! It was a good day and nearly a great day. I am thrilled to have made my first World Cup Final. I had a good qualifying run and was 15th going into finals. In my first dual I was up against a Canadian that is second in the World right now. I was having a great run and beating him by a mogul or two when both of my skis released and I ended up doing front flips through the middle section. I am well but I did rip my pants and lost some skin on my quad. I have attached video of both runs and a picture post crash.

Today was a huge success for me as I excelled in every area under my control. Qualifying for finals was a big step in and of itself. I am also pleased that I laid it all on the line in finals and simply had some bad luck when I kicked a couple shoes. I knew I was capable of competing with the best in the World but today was an awesome reaffirmation.

I am very excited to head to Prague tomorrow for some much need R&R and a lot of touristing about. I am traveling with all my boys and we are ready to take the city by storm. Thank you for your love and support.

Jay Panther
