Thanks to the Trollhaugen Park Crew for putting together such a sick setup.
If it wasn’t for his helmet, Burton team rider Kevin Pearce (KP) would most likely not be alive today. In December of 2009, while training for the Olympics, KP suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) while attempting a Cab Double Cork in the halfpipe. Finally after a year and 11 months the doctors gave KP the O.K. to get back out and ride. Hundreds of people showed up to support Kevin during his first day back on the snow, including Jake Burton, Founder of Burton Snowboards.
“To get to this point in his recovery, Kevin has worked harder and has had more determination than anyone I know. His positive attitude and sense of humor through it all has inspired millions of people, including me personally in a big way. I couldn’t be happier to be here with Kevin to get back on snow with him. It was a day I’ll never forget.” -said Jake Burton
KP was not the first and definitely will not be the last to suffer a TBI while snowboarding. On January 3rd, 2011 Danny Toumarkine took a horrific fall while riding in Montana. Danny was lifted by helicopter to a local hospital where he spent the next 33 days undergoing not one, but four brain surgeries. Just like Kevin Pearce, Danny is very lucky to be alive. “Moving Forward” is the full length documentary about the time before, during, and after his injury and was just released on January 10th, 2012. Visit dannyisthebomb.com to find out more about Danny’s Story.
The moral of the story is to WEAR YOUR HELMET and if you don have one, get one.

Seek Joy Productions gave out $1,000 to the top rider at Wild Mountain’s annual rail jam on Saturday, October 1st. You’d think that everyone would be too focused on the cash to be giving high fives and cheering each other on, but there is something different about the Midwest mentality and everyone was stoked.
Notable junior riders in the jam were Benny Milam, Garrett McKenzie, and Brandon Kirkland. All three of those groms are going to be the next kids out of the Midwest, guaranteed. Jon Lord, Matt Angel, Hunter Murphy, DC’s Justin Fronius, Zion’s Ryan Paul, Mitch Kirby, and Mason Crawford all murdered the creative set up. After a double overtime final the judges picked Tony Young to take home the well deserved grand prize.
Despite riders getting broken off left and right everyone kept putting their best foot forward. Seek Joy Productions and Wild Mountain put on a great show; if you didn’t make it, you missed out. Hopefully we will see you next year!

An annual rite of passage into the season, Hot Dawgz And Hand Rails, went down this weekend at Bear Mountain in Snowcal (Big Bear Lake, California). For the last 8 years the contest has served as the unofficial start of the contest season. This year Clayton Shoemaker and crew carted in 130 TONS of snow for the event. It’s innovative urban layout was a refreshing change from all the scaffolding and single rail option comps that seem to be a dime a dozen these days. Minnesnowta showed up hard and when the smoke cleared (from all the medicinal card carrying locals) Ryan Paul from Afton Alps walked away with first place and ten large ($10,000.00). Rounding off the field was Brandon Hobush in 2nd and another Land Of 10,000 Lakes rider, Jesse Paul, taking third.
