Intro

Stoked to have these two rippers helping hold it down in the Middle. This edit was comprised of a Session a week ago on some loose fresh and a rope. Garrett's on this way to Nationals to do his thang, Good Luck Homies. Shane just celebrate his birthday on a long weekend mission, plenty of time to recover. Afton's open Tomorrow Lets Get THIS.

Victor set out to pay respects to his Grandfather who has Alzheimer's. He came up with a Ollie contest to bring people together in a loose and fun event. It's just you, your board, and bar set at a fixed height. No judge, no judgement, just pop, clear, land, ride away. That or knock the bar to the snow in defeat. 

Simple as snowboarding. There was a great crew of fellas and a lady each putting their snap to the test. Early on, many variations of ollies were clearing the lower heights. Once everyone had plenty of attempts to warm the legs, the event kicked off at the lowest setting. Quickly it was up to 3ft, a solid group popped that. On to that 3 1/2ft ollie which left only 5 standing above the next height of 4ft. With one attempt and legs wavering, Shane Ruprecht popped the 4ft with his new smile. I'll venture to say Victor's Grandpa would've been proud of the overall effort and the great times many shared. 

Thanks to Viktor Simco for a great event, Vans Bob for supporting, Nate for shooting sick foto's, Wild for the energy, and the riders for supporting a fine event. 

This is snowboarding. 

Many Events.

Tomorrow in Columbus Oh, Huge Rail Jam, Concert, Party. 

The Youth Shelter Supply and St Cloud worked a long time for this. Lets all roll out to show how much Skaters care about dope Plaza's. 

And Near to our Hearts here, Viktor is host a Event in the name of his Grandfather with proceeds going to the Alzheimer's Association. Come out pop you're board in support of a great cause if you just want to donate thats fine too. Come up to Wild Mountain November 21st.
