Notable:
Davey Barr has been trotting the globe trying to grab a spot at WX '03. He started with the Saab Crossmax World Open in Les 2 Alpes, France in Nov. ('02) where he finished 7th -- missing the three spots offered for WX '03. He then tried again at the Paul Mitchell X-Qualifier at Northstar-at-Tahoe, CA in Jan ('03), and once again came up short. Luckily for Barr, he squeezed in under the wild card clause and was granted his first trip to WX--his efforts were not in vain.

"I have been so close so many times, I felt like it was my turn--it was my error, I overshot a jump. It was so close, I was so disappointed," says Barr about the Paul Mitchell X-Qualifier.
