Burton Boys: Mikey Rencz and Mikkel Bang’s Day Off Up Grouse.
Mikkel Bang & Mikey Rencz hit up Grouse Mountain for some sunny hit runs on their ‘off day’ from sledding.
Started the day with some much needed caesars..
Mikkel was hyped to take a day off filming Whistler backcountry to ride Grouse Mountain for the first time. He celebrated with first try backflips on all the jumps in the Quik Park.
Mikey Rencz and Amanda Scheller are hyped. Mikey lead way on a super fun hit run running from Heavans Sake - Deliverance – Skyline.
Mikkel is ‘fascinated’ with the wind turbine(commenting on its slight movements in broken English).

Showdown Over the City Finals
Here are some photos from the finals at the Showdown over the City. The jumps looked amazing! Saw some really sick floaty 540s on the first jump. It looked like a lot of fun.

New Snow!
There has been a lot of softer snow in the park these days, it’s real mellow! Here are a couple shots from last weeks shredding in the Quiksilver park. The set ups and conditions have been prime lately, nice and soft!
Trees looking awesome after some new snow.
The fun Double Shotgun bank at the end of the day.
All of this snow is going to make great conditions for spring riding….cant wait!

Throwback – Jamie Lynn
Jamie Lynn is a bowse. He was one of the first guys to push it in freestyle snowboarding. He has one of the best methods out of any rider who has ever strapped in. Check out this these clips of some of his first snowboard movie parts in Project 6, Meltdown Project and TB2. I had Project 6 on VHS tape and played it over and over until it didn’t play any more. I was studying his method to try and figure out how to do one as good as him. I still am.
Short clip from Jamie’s part in Project 6 circa 1994 – check out the headcam shots… he had to wear a back pack with the recorder in it!
Jamie in Melt Down Project circa 1995 – check out the dope method at 0:40
Jamie in TB2 circa 1992 – Jamie was known for shredding without gloves – look for 270 on at 1:19
