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,
Frodo.

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.

Foggy Photos
To get to the point, I’ve had a pretty itchy trigger finger the past few weeks. I got sick of waiting for a sunny weekend to shoot and decided to try my luck in the fog today with Joe Mickelson, Ben Neil and Luciano Babaie. Definitely made the right choice. The fog rolled in and out all day, but it didn’t stop anyone from having a good time or throwing down for the camera. We spent most of the day on the Cut jump line and towards the end made a few laps through Quiksilver. Both are still in pristine condition thanks to the hard workers behind the shovels. Keep on keepin’ on park crew, you’re killing it harder this year than ever before.
