Familia Steep Bank Recap






Last year Familia Skateshop had a great idea, running fun events on replicas of real Minnesota street spots. First one went down on the infamous Red Wave. So what would the follow up be? Steep Bank of Doom it was.

The weather was awesome no drying the run up pre-game. So lots of people were out for Bastille days, Roller Girls demo, Fat Tire swill, live Music, and Steep bank destruction. Video below by the one and only Kevin Horn.

How can I get to Hood, what season passes to buy, is Beartooth still ago? Yeah heads racing, Bovee's getting married tonight so, guess I'll focus on that. Second issue ideas are in the mix too, I have a potential line up of interviewees, I need to get those dialed.

Brisse Interview on Snowboard-Mag.com


Dan Rips, been ripping for a long time. Check any Bald-E-Gal flick and the proof is in there. He's a cool cat who snowboards on this own terms. He push himself and has worked hard to get to where he's at in the game. Looks like this year is going to be huge for him in terms of coverage. Check his interview here.

I remember a day up at Beartooth Pass were Dan and Erza were sessioning this Booter and Dan is like, "I'm going to double cork this thing", so I drive him up the switchbacks to the drop spot. I than positioned myself back at the parking lot to watch as he drops in, fully commits, and stomps first try. I mean at this point only JP and maybe Benedic had done this trick on film. It was heavy. Thats how Dan rolls.
