Mont St. Bruno Jam &
Competition, Feb. 8th & 9th, 2003
Saturday
Skiboarders from all over the Northeast came together for a Skiboard
Big Air competition and Park Jam at Mont St. Bruno. The weather
was superb and all the competitors performed well. Ben Wannamaker
came away with the rider judged Big Air prize with consistent
and styled 540's. The days favorite for the prize, Mike Wass,
was unexpectedly injured during warm ups and had to miss both
days of riding. Word has it he's feeling better and will be back
soon. Second and Third place were grabbed by Kevin Boate and Bailey
Mitchell of Ottowa. Look for new riders Jason Roussel and Vincent
to be making their marks soon. After the Big Air comp. Alex from
Quebec put on a rail clinic with super tech rail slides, while
Ben Wannamaker filmed for his upcoming skiboard film: W****

Sunday brought
Mike, Ben, Bailey, Kevin and myself (Greco) to Mont Tremblant
for a Skiboard Jam. Mike was still hurt so he had to chill in
the lodge and Ben got "hurt" the night before in a local
Montreal gentleman's club so he could only guard the bathroom
but Bailey and Kevin tore up the rails in Tremblant's park and
even attacked the giant checkerboard wall at the bottom. Look
for good things from this duo in the future.
Thanks
to Canon
Skiboards and the International
Skiboard Federation for a great event and a super fun time.
We hope to see you all at the next event, wherever it may be.
