The long-awaited Vision Wake Park is now open for your enjoyment! It is the only cable wakeboard park in Minnesota, so get out and give a try. Yes, you have to drive all the way to Isanti, but trust us that it will be worth it when you session perfectly smooth water. Local rider Mike Liddle has already put in some time on the cable, and we found a little video of him giving it a try.

3rd Lair held it’s 2012 Top Shop contest earlier this month and we are starting to see some videos popping up from the participating teams. So far 3rd Lair, Harmony Skateshop and Asylum dropped some footy for our viewing pleasure. Harmony Skateshop took home top honors in this years event. Not sure if there are some other video floating around but we’ll keep you posted with what we find.

Looks like there was a bit of left over footage from this last winters riding over at Powder Ridge. Bald E-Gal Productions put together a bit of follow-cam footage from the likes of Jake Olson-Elm, Brandon Larson, Krister Ralles, Austin Young and Cody Beiersdorf.

Looks like Jake OE and Danimals are still enjoying the winter bliss over at Superpark. Snowboarder magazine put together an edit where as well as some pics for your viewing pleasure. Make sure you stay for the ender on this video, it will leave you wanting more…  Check out the pictures over at Snowboarder Mag’s site.

Check out Justin Fronius among others as they took on the Eddie Wallride for Mammoth’s West Coast Invitational. We’re going to have to send you over to Transworld’s site to check out the pics, video and article as they aren’t to keen on sharing their work… Click here to head on over.

Seems that this one slipped under our radar for a couple days, but not for lack of luster. Looks like we will be gifted with a new skate video this fall entitled Debris. We can thank Pete Spooner and Philip Schwartz , who you may remember as the guys who brought us Flow Trash and Boondoggle, for throwing this one together. We couldn’t be more excited to see this one completed asap but I suppose fall isn’t that far away. Check out the promo and keep the hype alive for Minnesota skating at its finest.

Just a snippet of footage from the St. Cloud Skate Plaza thanks to the Youth Shelter Supply. Seems like the younsters are taking over and have plenty of talent to back it up.

Duluth Local Colton Maddy has been impressing us all season in the edits produced by Jambox and also several local contests. This time he drops our jaws in a whole different way. As if his normal riding wasn’t good enough, Colton decided to throw down using a cheap plastic snowboard purchased from KMart. Now, if you ever hear a friend complaining about how crappy his/her board is, show them this video.

A bunch of Minnesota riders were invited to the Volcom PB&J Rail Jam Finals at Mammoth Mountain. As usual, these riders dominated the competition and took away several podium spots.
