Snowrider Classic
One of the greatest days of snowboarding in my life was in 1993 at the Snowrider Classic; the sun was shining, the snow was soft, and everyone had huge smiles on their faces. If you love snowboarding, music, prizes and smiles, make sure to attend the 2012 Snowrider Classic presented by The Youth Shelter Supply at Powder Ridge Ski Area in Kimball, MN.
Carlsbad Gap
When the Carlsbad High School was built in 1957 no one thought the eleven step stair set on the Southern side of the campus would become one of the world’s most challenging and recognizable skate spots. In 2006 the Carlsbad Unified School District approved a decision to demolish the school in order to build a new school. It wasn’t until 2008 that rumors drifted around within the skateboarding community about the Carlsbad Gap demolition. Fast forward to Thursday February 23rd, 2012 and a skateboarding landmark has its last day. How long will it be before a skate plaza duplicates the Carlsbad Gap? Read More
Kaitlyn Farrington – USSA Grand Prix Series Champion
Kaitlyn Farrington, a House team rider, is good at many things, two of which are snowboarding and winning money. On Saturday March 4th, 2012 at the USSA Mammoth Mountain Grand Prix Kaitlyn did both at the same time.
Tyler Anderson – 2012 USSA Mammoth Mountain Grand Prix
Part fisherman, snowboarder, ladies man, and height amplifier – Tyler Anderson gets around. Here he is riding at the 2012 USSA Mammoth Mountain Grand Prix on Saturday March, 4th.
If you want to give Tyler a high five, it’s going to be about 20′ out of the pipe. Grab a ladder.
2012 Volcom PBRJ – Powder Ridge
If you’ve never gone to a Volcom PBRJ contest, you should. Powder Ridge Ski Resort in Kimball, MN has been hosting the Volcom PBRJ comp for about 100 years, and every year the level of technical tricks and over-stokedness sky rockets.
The groms Benny Milam, Noah Fleming, and Garrett McKenzie absolutely murdered it. Vanessa Moore came out on top of the women’s field. Mitch Kirby came halfway across the county to grab second in the open division, and Colin Wilson turned into a wrecking ball and destroyed the competition.
Don’t miss the Volcom PBRJ next year because it will blow your socks off! Read More
