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.

The 5th Annual Quiksilver Showdown Over the City
Grouse Mountain hosted it’s 5th Annual Quiksilver Showdown Over the City this weekend, and it was awesome! Born five years ago , the event has grown to attract top talent from across Canada and the US with the TTR World Tour 4 Star point designation. Over the past few years the event had been caught in bad weather systems but this year that was not the case. The sun was out, and the beer garden was jumping. Another exciting factor about this years Showdown was the jumps. The Grouse Park Crew built the best course to date. Each of the jumps in the double jump line could have been featured as a stand alone Big Air kicker. With 20′ tall wedges and 60′ decks these kickers were no joke.
Here are a few shots I captured at the event.

Showdown and After-Sesh
This last weekend marked the annual Showdown Over the City at Grouse Mountain. In past years Showdown has been more of a Big Air focus competition. But this year, with the change in venue from Lower Peak to the Cut, the course ended up being a legitimate multi-feature slopestyle instead of a one jump wonder. After the competition was over park crew Rob was kind enough to open up the jumps for some friends to get down on. Here’s some shots from the competition and the after-sesh. One more thing, big ups to Shayan for placing top 10 in the pro division, held his own against some big names, congrats man.
That’s all for now,

Quiksilver Showdown Over the City
With the city in view, the Quiksilver Showdown ran full-blast last Sunday. All riders were throwing down and out of the many competitors, the results came down to Zach Stone landing the Best trick, Bobby Balharry placing third, Jeremy Cloutier placing 2nd and Eric Willet with the win.
With my t2i in hand and riders throwing down, I was stoked to get to film these guys. Check out the edit!
Monday Night Sesh.
Here’s a little edit of a late night sesh up at Grouse last week. Riders are Michael Granger, Simon Stulberg, Dylan Gillespie, Sam Fedak, Maxime Cyr-Morton, Nicola Cyr-Morton, and more. It was a great night cruisin the park and just having a good time. Here’s the edit. Enjoy!
PS. Don’t forget to head up for the next Oakley night jam, this Friday! I’ll be up there and hopefully all of you will be too! It’s going to be sick!
Peace!
Sunny Days in Grousepark
Unfortunately this year has not been the stormiest winter in 50 years. It has not been the La Nina season the weatherman promised us. We have not been skiing endless deep pow days. But you know what, that’s ok with me. Thankfully the park crew has held it down and has continued to help the park stay better than it has ever been in previous seasons, and this season I’ve come to the realization that a sunny park day with your good friends can be just as great as a deep pow day. A recent sunny Saturday, a good portion of the old crew was in town and we had a damn good day riding a pristine jump line and the rails of Quik park. Shane Craver busted out his camera for a good portion of the day and came out with these stunners. I haven’t had a decent shot of myself skiing for a couple of season, so it was nice to get down on the other side of the lens for once. Thanks Shaner, you did good work.
