Previous Events...
GS & SL and Slopestyle at Saddleback... AWESOME events!!!!
Saturday's GS & SL racing saw a record 20% of competitors riding hardboot on the longest courses we race on all season. Fastest times of the day for both events went to Jason Burrill on the men's side and Emily Eames on the women's side.
Sunday's Slopestyle had a very competitive field with a huge Open Class and a whole lot of big tricks...
Cholula Hot Trick of the day went to Andrew Bouffard riding for Saddleback!
And at the end of the day the happiest competitor... probably Brad Washburn who won the High Cascade Snowboard Camp session give away!!!
========================================
TUCKERS BOARDERCROSS WEEKEND
The fifth edition of Tucker's Boardercross weekend saw 209 competitors battling it out over two days of intense racing at Sunday River. Many thanks to the staff and volunteers at Sunday River for their hard work in helping us put on these events. Nationals spots were clinched over the weekend, and many competitors put themselves in position for additional invitations. USCSA Eastern Conference awards went to U Maine Farmington and Yale University, and both schools have qualified to compete at the Collegiate Nationals at Sunday River next month. and fundraising for the Maine Children's Cancer Program since this event started hit the $100,000 mark!
I was fortunate enough to know Tucker, and the thing I remember most was his competive racing and his friendship to all competitors. It's a great lesson for all of us.
Riding like this requires mad skills!
We have lift off!
