Minnesota Magic
This is one of the best edits I’ve seen in a long time, park looks sick and the flow is off-hand. This one comes off Monday Minute, a series put out by the guys of House of 1817. All Minnesota kids all destroyers. Some of the crews most noteables being Joe Sexton, Jake OE, and Ethan Deiss(If you haven’t seen his edit click here now!)
There’s many monday minutes to be had and alot of other content coming out of 1817 so keep up, also check danimals, don’t know this guy be he slays it .
This isn’t margarine folks, its the real thing.

Sunset Shoot
Hey Grouse,
This week we had a wicked sunny day session, the jumps were nice and crisp and the sun put everyone in a good mood
It only got better when Bill Hawley rolled up whipped out his cam and as always managed to get some wicked shots. I’m sure you’ve seen some of his photos floating around the blog, if not you can check his flickr and his blog… Next time you see him on the mountain say hi and jump in on one of his shoots, who knows you might have a new profile pic!
Here are a couple shots from tuesday night:
enjoy,

X-Games real snow finals!
Supreme!
That’s the perfect word to sum up how I feel about X-games newest addition REAL SNOW.
Basically the best 1 minute urban part out of eight pro riders takes the $2,500 pot (the link above explains it all!) So through public voting it’s down to the Big Don JP Walker and the Frenchman Nic Sauve. Get involved and throw your vote down, winners announced at the X-games (January 27th-30th)
Nic Sauve’s part (In my opinion the outright winner!, but you gotta give respect to JP)

An Introduction: It’s DJean!
Hi!
My name’s Jean Lavigne, and this season I have been chosen to be on board blogging for grousepark.com. I’m a snowboarder and a Grouse local. I’ve been snowboarding since I can remember and since then I’ve always called Grouse home. The last four winter seasons I’ve spent working up Grouse as a snowboard instructor teaching kids of all ages how to shred! I live on the North Shore and when I’m not at work or schooling, you can find me up Grouse lapping the park or hunting down pow on the Olympic Chair. I normally come up alone but always meet up with the shred posse, so if you ever see me around give a shout, I’m always down to cruise. THE MORE THE MERRIER!! Something else I’m really passionate about is music, and when I’m not busy with the above, I’m either listening or finding new music. I put together mixes under the alias DJEAN, so you can look out for some bangin’ mixes from me this season or from other local riders who too love to jump on the VDJ tables.
Look out for some edits and photos from me this season of all things awesome up Grouse, especially the park, we all know the talk about the snow this season, hopefully that pulls through because no doubt with enough the Quicksilver Park is going to be killin’ it.
Make sure to get Djean on Facebook, for all updates on the music side, Here’s a link to some of my older mixes, and I’ve got some in the works too so look out for those. Stoked to meet all the fellow park rats!
PEACE,
Jean.
Whats up good lookin?
Mmmmm Quiksilver, you lookin gooooood.
After the BCSA slopestyle this past weekend, the Quiksilver park is in prime condition. There are options galore right now, thanks to the hard working park crew. The park begins with your choice of a rail or jump line. The rail line, on the right, starts with either a mellow up rail or a down rail. The jump line kicks things off with a with a decent sized step down.
Up rail, perfect for some spins out.
Down rail, with the down-flat-down and flat-down in after it.
The step down...super fun.
Keeping your speed up from the step down, the next jump in line is a floaty stepover. The rail line on the right flows into a XL down-flat-down rail on the left or a XL flat-down rail on the right.
The stepover is bigger than it looks.
Down-flat-down and the step over.
Down-flat-down again.
Flat down just waiting for you.
Up next in the rail line you have a choice between the 40 foot flat box or another down rail. The jump line continues with another floater. In case you lost count that’s three in a row so far…
The 40 footer. Pressss that!
Another down rail.
The third jump.
Next up for the rails is a big rainbow rail or a c-box followed by the big up rail. Last in the jump line, but not least, is another floater. That’s 4 jumps in a row. Perfect line for getting all your spins down.
Can someone please nosepress this?
Side view.
The c-box needs more love.
This one boosts you.
The fourth jump.
Towards the end of lower side cut there are two more rails waiting to be slayed, a down bar, perfect for getting some spins on and another down-flat-down.
Perfection.
Mellow down-flat-down.
Down-flat-down again.
Sessions are going off these days. The level of riding is definitely being reflected by the quality of the park. Props to the park crew for stepping it up! So there ya go, get up there and hit it up while the gettin is good.
If you think anything should be changed, or want to add your thoughts on the park, feel free to comment here and I can pass along the word.
Keep ‘er gnar,
