Last weekend, the Transworld TransAM Contest Series visited Powder Ridge for one of its stops. As always, the Minnesota riders showed up and put on quite the show. In the end it was Jesse Paul that walked away with the overall victory, but Craig Cameron and Sam Bakken weren’t far behind.
The FC Midwest Tour made a stop at Andes Tower Hills last weekend. They put on a great event as usual and luckily for us Ryan DeReamer was there to provide a fun video edit. Be sure to make it to the next FC Stop which will be on February 12th at Mount Itasca.
The House Boardshop and Trollhaugen put on a great rail jam on Friday the 13th. It was only fitting that the rail jam would be held at night due to the date. The darkness didn’t stop riders from throwing down which you can see by the video. We also have some results for you.
The FC Midwest Tour started their season at Powder Ridge last weekend. Just as last year, the FC didn’t disappoint with a well done event. Riders came from all over the state to compete which resulted in a large group of talented riders. We were there taking pictures and have a gallery for you to browse through. Also, George Ilstrup provided a nice little video edit of the finals action and a few young riders. To recap, don’t miss the next FC Event.
For the last two years Wild Mountain has hosted the Ollies for Alzheimer’s snowboard event. The event is organized by Viktor Simco, Damage Boardshop and Wild Mountain with the goal to support Alzheimer’s research. You couldn’t ask for a better reason to go snowboarding and every year the event brings with it a good vibe all-around. This year we couldn’t join in the fun, but local photographer Nathaniel Harrington was there to snap some pictures of the good times. If you didn’t make it there this year, be sure to put it on your calendar for next season, we know we will. For all the pictures, please visit Nathaniel’s blog.
