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.

We have received quite a few Trollhaugen video edits this year, but for some reason we still aren’t sick of them. We decided to switch it up a little bit though and make the video edits battle each other just for kicks. So, this time let’s see which video gets the most votes and we’ll try and send the winner some rideMN swag.

Voting has ended. Congrats to Manic Monday by Escubed!

The Bald E-Gal Cup went off as usual this year with tons of local talent. This event has always been one of the best and this year was no different. Well, we will let you decided for yourself. Congrats to Jesse Paul for the win!

The Burton team just released a bunch of Midwest footage from last season. There are several Minnesota locations in the footage plus another amazing part by local Minnesota Wisconsin rider Ethan Deiss. Way to go Ethan, you always make our jaws drop.

Wild Mountain has been open the last two weekends with fun setups to get your early-season shred on. If you didn’t make it out last weekend you missed out on some good times, but luckily Danny Kutnink was there to produce a slick little edit for you. How could you go wrong with a soundtrack like this?

The Wild Mountain $1000 Rail Jam by Seekjoy Productions was a couple weeks ago, but the fun is still in our minds. We were there taking pictures while the Seekjoy crew was filming some moving images. Check out the highlight video from the event and keep hoping for some real snow soon.

News regarding Ryan Paul has been fairly quiet lately, but he is back with the Giro Crew and he throws down as usual. The Giro Crew came to Minnesota with the goal of getting some urban shots and we can definitely say the accomplished that. Watch as Ryan, Anton Gunnarson, and Austen Granger put on a show for filmer Sam Fenton.

If you didn’t catch the Red Bull Mississippi Grind event in Saint Paul this weekend, hopefully you watched some of the best skaters in the state battle it out at the qualifier. The qualifier was held at the Skate Plaza in Saint Cloud and some amazing skating went down. The Bald E-Gal Crew was up there to document it for your enjoyment.

The wakeskate skills of Mike Roeder always make our jaws drop. There is a reason he won the Amateur Wakeskate portion of the WWA Nationals this year. Just to show you how easy he makes it look, here is a typical day on the lake with Mike.

I’m sure we don’t need to remind you about the fact that the Minnesota weather is hotter than a Snowman in Mexico right now, but we are here to let you know of a good way to escape. The answer to all of your questions this time of the year is Mount Hood! It looks like several Minnesota riders including Jesse Paul and Mark Wilson are already beating the heat in Oregon at Windell’s.
