Friday May 11 was arguably one of the craziest days of snowboarding ever. Snowboarder Magazine’s Superpark 16 presented by Gatorade saw an insane level of progression go down, from a backside triple cork from Sebastien Toutant as well as a frontside triple cork from Mark Hoyt, to Cody Rosenthall’s bs 360 double methods, Josh Dirksen’s banked slalom runs, to even certain riders literally trying to burn the park down, day 5 had it all! Check out riding from Seb Toots, Josh Dirksen, Mark Hoyt, Harrison Gordon, Haldor Helgason, Peetu Piironien, and many many more.
The Spring Classic in Varraze opened with the first European premiere of the Bones Brigade Documentary and ended with an awards ceremony that celebrated the diverse styles and talent of some of the best transition and street skaters in the world.
The Loon crew not only built one of the biggest jumps at Snowboarder Magazine’s Superpark 16 presented by Gatorade, they also arranged by far the earliest shoot. The brothers Mindnich along with Sam Taxwood, Nils Arvidsson, Sebastien Toutant, Seth Hill and Scotty Vine all ventured up to the mountain at 5am to take part in a crazy sunrise shoot. Mix in some hip and wall ride action and you have yourself Superpark’s Day 4 video
The Coolest Snowboard Thing I Own
I’ve realized after snowboarding for 19 years, that when you’re thoroughly submerged in a riding lifestyle you’ll begin to collect a massive amount of memorabilia. How could I decide what is the coolest piece I own? Of course my first deck, a 139 Gnu Skidder, is my favorite. It’s the deck I leaded how to carve, spin, and slide on. I have 19 decks, a vast collection that includes Shawn Palmer’s last pro-model on Sims and a Brunswick Snurfer. Could any of those be the coolest? No. Piled in boxes I have contest bibs from around the world, heaps of medals & trophies, and vintage leashes from Aunt Mable’s & Beacon. How about those? Nope.
After searching through “my get ready to go snowboard room” I realized the answer was right around my waist. My USSA Grand Prix belt buckle is the coolest snowboard thing I own. I wrapped up the 05′/06′ season by coaching a group of kids at USSA Grand Prix Mountain Creek Tour stop in New Jersey. Every rider and coach got a belt buckle, but what makes this more unique than its limited quantities was the timing. The Mountain Creek Grand Prix was the contest that determined who would qualify onto the US Halfpipe Team for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. Feeling the energy at the awards ceremony has been unparalleled by any other event I’ve been to.
This belt buckle is the coolest things I own.
Things have been getting a little trippy up on Mt. Bachelor at Superpark 16 presented by Gatorade. The riding level on day 3 was crazy and it seemed like just about every pro was going upside down twice. Watch the edit for video proof as well as a blast from the past with riders like Dale Rehberg, Wes Makepeace and Matt Donahue while they share the snow with current legends Danny Kass and Romain DeMarchi. Then there is the emerging crop of senders who are delivering with every lap of the Superpark 16 setup.
Superpark 16 presented by Gatorade at Mt. Bachelor is on it’s way to being one of the best in Superpark history. This video from day 2 is proof of that, with heavy sessions on the Seven Springs features, the hip, and a sunset shoot. Riders are hungry this year.
