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 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
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.
The wait is over! Invited pro riders from around the world have invaded Mt. Bachelor for Snowboarder Magazine’s Superpark 16 the weather is fantastic and shit is going down left and right. Here is a look on what happened on day 1 as the riders got their first look at Superpark and “warmed up” on the jumps.
Day one of Snowboarder Magazine’s Superpark 15 is a wrap and the momentum from today promises for an awesome week ahead of progression and super-shredding.
Mt. Bachelor has the honor of hosting the annual Superpark event this year and for a resort set deep in the backwoods of Oregon they have extended nothing but the royal red-carpet treatment for the 300+ riders, videographers, photographers and industry types invited this year. As is par-for-the-course at Superpark, day one is set aside for testing the waters. At first glance the action on the front-lines may seem a little lackluster for an event called Superpark, but the riders and park crews were busy gearing up for the week ahead. Riders warm up, slip and gauge the ginormous features while park crews make final adjustments to their , all in anticipation for the hammers that are about to be thrown down in the next 5 days. Even so, a massive session on Seven Spring’s park crew’s hip feature started to go off late in the afternoon as riders like Trevor Jacob and The House Boardshop’s own Brennen Swanson threw down and boosted off a daunting hip-gap feature. 
That… is a massive hip gap.
