Zombie Rally at Trollhaugen

In the fall of  2011 it was noticed that one of the Trollhaugen Trolls was acting a kind of strange.  At the time we did not think much of it. Perhaps, he had been eating the man-made snow or maybe he just caught a touch of  the Troll Flu. Either way we were not to worried, but then things started to get weird. He was not sleeping, and started running around at all hours of the night moaning and gowning.  It was not until this spring of 2012 that we knew something was horrible wrong. To our surprise we found three trolls feasting on the carouse of a Pink Yard Flamingo. That’s when we knew it was time to prepare. Prepare for a Zombie Trollocalypse August 18th, at Trollhaugen.  Who knows when T-Virus might spread to Humans. For more info visit zombierally.com

Drink Water: The Rat Race

Drink Water put on what might be the best snowboard event of the summer, the 1st annual Rat Race.  By the looks of the Timberline course everyone had a blast.  Salomon/Bonfire Team Manager Java Hernandez and Nike Snow Team Manager Booby Meeks both walked away with Rat Trap Trophies.

Still to come is Bonfire’s Pipe-To-Pipe contest; its an event that hosts both snowboarding and skateboarding contests in one!

 

ESPY Awards – Best Action Sport Athletes

Another awards show I’ll never watch wrapped up last night, the ESPN ESPY (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly) Awards.  What has ESPN and large corporations done for snowboarding?  Two things…

  1. Provided contests, that 99.9% of snowboarders will never be invited to because they lack in natural talent department or have a willingness to not sell their soles for “stardom”, with huge cash purses.
  2. Brainwashed the average American consumer into thinking that all snowboarders drive Mini Coopers, drink Mountain Dew, and use Axe Body Spray.
Super-Boy-A-Lister-Lime-Light-Rockstar Shaun White just won his sixth ESPY Award for Best Male Action Sports Athlete.  I guess he beat out T.Rice, Kelly Slater, and some guy named Ryan Villopoto for the ESPY.
I will give credit to ESPN for one thing; awarding Jamie Anderson with an ESPY.  Jamie slays it, and parties hard.  If you ever run into her ask her about the Trofeo Topolino Jr. World Games in Italy.
And no, I don’t drive a Mini, drink Mountain Dew, or use Axe.
