The Volcom Peanut Butter and Rail Jam went down last weekend at Powder Ridge. All of the big midwest names showed up and the competition was fierce. In the end it was Colin Wilson who took 1st place for the Men’s Open and Vanessa Moore snagged 1st for the ladies. It was actually Vanessa’s second PB&J win of the year since she made the drive out to the Montana event also. Hit up the full post for a full breakdown of the winners and a video provided by Volcom.
We have been huge fans of Cody Beiersdorf for years. It must be because he makes everything look smooth and effortless. Apparently, the guys over at Ashbury also noticed Cody’s riding, because he is now part of their Am Team. Congrats Cody! Now, peep your eyes on what he threw down for their welcome video at Elm Creek…
We received an email the other day saying that some resorts weren’t getting enough attention on our site this year. We will be the first to admit that this is true. While we have been busy featuring edits from Hyland, Troll, and even Mont Du Lac, a few other local places have been ignored and for that we apologize. Recently though, we received a couple local edits from Buck Hill and Afton, so we decided why not have them both featured in a video battle. Vote for your favorite!
We have been following the FC Midwest Tour closely this year because we love the way each contest is organized and run. Every FC Event we have been to has been fun for riders of all age groups. It doesn’t hurt that some pretty talented riders show up at each event also. Well, the last stop of the tour was at Mount Itasca which most people have never heard of. As it turns out, Mount Itasca did a great job of preparing the park and is well on their way to making a name for the small resort. To portray the fun, Guf from The House provided a nice video edit for anybody that couldn’t make it. Be sure to check out our events section so you can make it to the FC Finals on February 25th!
Yet another Minnesota rider has been featured in a YoBeat People’s Court Video Battle. This time it is Mike Liddle who is representing our state very well and we can’t imagine he will lose this battle. The edit Mike and Spencer Nelson put together is full of bangers and it well put together. Watch the video here if you prefer, but make sure hop over to YoBeat and vote for Mike. He’ll give you a high five later.
