Brian Choi was up Grouse Mountain on March 29th to shoot the Alterna/Showdown session. He got some killer shots! See for yourself.

Showdown winner Sebastien Toutant keeping the sponsors happy!

...did I mention he is only 16 years old?

Ugh, clouds...

I must admit, I do love me some backflips.

Who said shooting into the sun was a bad thing?

So that’s all the Showdown shots for now folks. A huge thanks to Graham Dalik, Jason Macfarlane and Brian Choi for sharing their shots with us!
Temperatures are rising and the snow is softening up. Session are going off in the Quiksilver and Rookie parks. Get up Grouse Mountain, get your goggle tan on, shred some slush, and have some fun! Only 2 weeks of riding left.
Don’t forget your sunscreen!

Office Booyz!
The good folks over at Malakye are bringing the Office Booyz contest series out to Grouse Mountain on Thursday, April 9th. All you shop boys and girls out there are invited and riding in free for the first 100 enterants. Incidentally, that’s also the rider cut off, so get there between 8-10:30 am to get registered. The contests goes till 2 pm, or till whenever you get tired of riding. This is a good chance for all of you out there that are looking to connect with some industry people, have a good time or sneak some free donuts to do any or all of those things. There should be an update on the event from one of the other bloggers. I’ll be missing out, but I’m sure it’ll be a great time, so make sure you get up there to check it out.
The reasons I’m missing out is that fellow blogger CJ and I are headed to Big White for the day. I’ll be riding some 2010 Stepchild product, so be sure to check back near the end of the month when all the goods we tested will be started to get posted! Sorry, final exams get in the way of writing and riding.
Get out on your skate if you can’t get on the snow!

Alterna Music Video, what?!?!!?
Hello!
Coming at you today with a music video from Alterna! I know, I know, it sounds weird but this was on their blog and the video is sick! Put together by the filming/editing/computer genius Mr. Bryant Bell, the video showcases a super cool view of different things in the city, great song as well! Enjoy!
Ciao,

Jason Macfarlane Alterna Shoot Shots
Sunny skies, pro riders, and a jump bigger than anything the North Shore has seen before… March 29th was a pretty darn good day for a photo shoot. Grouse local, Jason Macfarlane was up Grouse Mountain to shoot the Alterna/Showdown Over the City after session. Here are some of his shots.
Check the goggle shot at the end…damn!

No grab. Huge.

When the takeoff is taller than the scaffolding, you know the jump is good.

Timed perfectly...

I got a shot! Jason said he tried this shot about 30 times and these two were the olny ones that worked out. Click the image and head over to newschoolers.com to vote for it!

Beauty.
More shots to come later in the week. Keep checking back!
Word is Grouse Mountain is in top form right now. Get up there before the season is over!
