 he decided to focus on the DH instead of the Slalom

flag m47h13u (Apr 20, 2009 at 6:53)
 He decided to focus on the DH because he wants to win it. He has already won the slalom more than once so now he's trying to get the DH.

flag coralcorn (Apr 20, 2009 at 14:31)
 no.. he got knocked out in the first round. He crashed in both his runs. His second crash was harsh too... many people crashed in their runs from the loose dirt. In cody's second run in finals he slid out up top and gave Sam the win

 only if you're in the Masters 35 & over..you MAYBE unclipped but the tracks are designed that there's no drifts or cambers like OS days. Many self-respecting pros have been clipped in for awhile. Stay unclipped!
