Granite City Invitational 2009
February 8, 2009 – 3:19 pm
Napier took a team up to the first ever Granite City Invitational on Saturday the 7th of Feb. The Competition was held at Aberdeen’s GarthDee Dry slope, there had been a few inches of snow fall, but not enough to cover the whole slope, so an interesting time was had by all. The first event was female individual duals, where Kirsty hope was knocked into 4th place by her older sister. Jenny Wilkie was unfortunately put out in the second round so no luck there. Next up was the guys, where an unfortunate Erik Esson (who’s lovely parents put up with us for the night) was drawn against Euan Maggee who raced an awesome event and went on to win overall. Chris Orriss and Cameron Black Had about as much luck and were put out in the first round.
Across on the Freestlye course Sam laurie was warming up with some crowd pleasing airial acrobatics only to have his evening cut short by a heavy slam from (I think) a massive 540, leaving him hobbling around and feeling a little worse for ware.
Following In Sams footprints Lori-jane Coates steps up to the kicker, goes big, catches an edge and procedes to slide the rest of the way down the slope on her chin, not feeling to great about herself.
Back to the racing, A travastey of a start from your captain Swayze, left him collapsing round the first and seccond gate putting him out in the first round, no such bad luck for both Matt (sparrow) Higginson and Tom Akass who powered their way to an all napier final resulting in tom first sparrow second. Good Lads.
Recovered from her chin scrapping Lori beasts her way through the first two rounds of Girl boarders, into a threeway final. Finishing second to a chick from Glasgow. Not Bad.
Team events were next and again no luck for the skiers Put out early on, finishing out of the top 4. The boarders on the other hand, showed some real class and after getting over his fear of start gates Swayze even managed to finish the course. The team dominated on such a level that sparrow even managed to cross the line in switch to make it a napier Victory.
All in all a great time was had by everyone competing even if the drive home was slightly more intense than originaly planned.
Hope to see everyone out on wednesday to support your club up at braehead busses leaving from the union, time TBC.

Are you a complete beginner, freestyle pro or potential après ski-bar hound? Do you look forward to snow, like to chuck yourself off things or does the thought of carving through fresh powder makes you sex-wee? When you join NUSC this can all become a reality, along with meeting a fun crew of people who are similar to yourself. Even if you have never stepped on a board or skis before, you are invited to join Napier University Snowsports Club. We arrange lessons in each semester, including hire, for new members who want to try their hand at a new sport or improve skills they already have.
We are officially the biggest club at Napier and were voted ‘Sports Club of the Year’ for 05/06, 06/07 and most recently 07/08, a title which we are hoping to retain for the fourth year in a row. But this can only be done with your help! We are renowned throughout the uni for our lively, sometimes slightly insane, attitudes to life, our extreme dancing skills and the ability to consume copious amounts of energy drink!
Out of season, we arrange trips up to the dry slope at Hillend most Wednesdays, where you can experience the sensation that is Betty! Every few weeks we also organise a trip through to the Xscape Snowdome at Braehead. In season, we pile into the ‘trusty’ NSA minibus and head for the Highlands.
This year so far we have enjoyed success in SUDS medalling in 9 events and even produced a newly crowned British champion in the BUDS Boarder X, while enjoying all the après ski these events had to offer.
NUSC is affiliated to the British University Snowsports Council (BUSC) who arrange an annual week of competitions, partying and playing in which over 2500 students take over an alpine resort! After we come down form the hills, we hit the bar and then head to a nightclub to show all the other unis how it’s done!
First off the chairlift in the 08/09 season is Euan ‘Swayze’ Taylor, this year’s elected President. See if you can track him down at Hillend, or failing that, the middle of the dancefloor. Partake in one of our ‘Crazy Fool!’ journeys and you will discover the nature of this beast!
Our other committee members include Ollie ‘Pikey’ Cruickshank (Vice President) Tom J.Akass (Secretary), Chris Orris (Treasurer), Chris ‘HALO’ Hollingsworth & Jenny ‘Dinky’ Wilkie (Race Captains), Steven ‘Barry the Bear’ Meloni and Cailin ‘Tattie Muncher’ Flanagan (Social Secretaries) and last but by no means least, your all singing all flying back flipping Sam ‘ShoMunky’ Laurie (Freestyle Captain)
So if you want to be part of Napier’s friendliest and most adrenaline driven club, drop us an email! Hope to see you all at the Fresher’s fair for the start of another epic year!
Much peace, shredding and dancing to you all.
