“The reason Mika Immonen is in his chair is because after a safety battle, I found a dead one in the pack and figured i could hit this with a snow shovel and it was good. The ball missed and went 3 rails, kissed off 2 more balls and went in anyway. I looked over at Mika and said "i'm kinda sorry but not real sorry". He said "best roll i ever seen in my life". final score was about 100-26 but memorable. He was a class act through it all.” - Ed Culhane, competing in the World 14.1
