Oakley Park Jams – Round 1

Oakley Night Jams - Round 1

The first Oakley Park Jam of the season kicked off last night in the Grouse Park. Clear skies made perfect conditions for the throw down and I was stoked to see the turnout and the level of shred at the jam format event. Over 50 skiers and snowboarders showed up to rip the park for prizes and bragging rights. The Park Crew started the crowd off at the rail features near the top of the park. The crew gave the park shreds a short period of time to jam on a decided jib to win prizes from Oakley. Good tricks were called out on the megaphone with the ‘Banger Siren’. After moving through a few rail features they finished off at the Cut Line kicker. And then it started puking snow. The Park Jams are open to everyone. There is no sign up or limited number of runs and anyone can play. All you have to do is show up and drop in on the feature that the Oakley crew and Park Crew call out over the mic. It is just a session like any session except during the jam the you can win prizes. Come out for the next Park Jam on Friday January 20th and don’t forget your tricks!

“Winner winner chicken dinner.” Here are a few of the riders and their banger tricks at the Jam:

Drew Paxton (skier) – 270 on, Switch Up, Pretzel 270 off on the Flat Down Box
Mike French (boarder) – 270 on, Swith Up, 270 off on the Down Bar & Hardway Back 180 on to Back 180 off *holy tech!
Adrien Tognko (boarder) – 50 50 though the kink on the 39′ Elbow Rail to Front 360 off

GPC - Grouse Park Crew holding it down.

Lets squash all this Skier vs. Boarder beef and just ride together. These two are.

The Cut Line kicker was prime.

Now there is a ton of powder up on Grouse right now. So for today, get out of the park!

Spring Slush!

Hey guys, get up and get those spring laps in! Just thought I would share an edit I made about a week ago with Michael Granger and Dylan Gillespie slayin in the quikpark.

Spring Break Shake

Joy footage and Cut Stone productions have been killing it lately. Every single edit that has been coming from both of the crews have been sick, not to mention they are all shot on our local mountains. Here’s their latest edit, Spring Break Shake. Check it out!

PS. Grouse has been getting tons of snow lately, and it’s April! chyea.

Sunny Sunday Edit

Grouse has been beyond amazing these past days. With the park being in great condition and the sun shining, I have been fortunate enough to get some riding in. Here’s an edit I made of a Sunday ride. Check it out!

Look out for more edits coming soon,

Andrew

Weekend Edit

It’s dumping snow here right now at Grouse and now that we are putting a mellow week behind us, it’s about time that we’ve got some snow. Despite all the rain and slush, I had time to get some weekend laps in with my buddies. I was stoked to get some footy with my new camera and make an edit.
Check it out!

Look out for more edits coming soon.
