January Edit
Had a well needed sesh up at Grouse last Thursday. With the sun shining, I couldn’t ask for anything better. I brought up my camera and thought I would make up an edit.
Here it is!

Absinthe Films Flipside Series
The guys at Absinthe are going above and beyond the line of duty with their Flipside Series. These videos are 10-12 minute episodes that cover a bunch of cool behind the scenes stuff. Everything from camera stuff, to setups, to bone crushing falls, they always have something awesome in each episode. This particular one shows Dan Brisse and his crazy Utah urban, this is one of my favourites!

So basically the weather wasn’t ideal, but that didn’t stop us. We put on our game faces and managed to have one of the hardest seshes of the season, destroying every feature everywhere, all business
Snowboarding isn’t always just fun
Anyways, Enjoy

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,

SNOWDEO !?
Coming this February, Snowdeo is a two day railjam competition happening at Swanguard stadium. That’s right Swanguard stadium is going to be turned into a full-on urban park with features including rails, fences, a wall ride, a step-down jump and more.
The railjam will be the biggest of its kind in the lower main land with riders from all across North America competing for $20,000 of prizes. The event will also include entertainment, a beer garden, and DJ’s such as My!Gay!Husband! and The Hood Internet.
Organizers are expecting crowds of 5,000 a day during the two day event and are hoping to make this an annual event for the following years.

Hailing from North Bay, ONT, Jesmond Dubeau will be participating in Rail jam, Snowdeo.
It’s going to be a killer weekend and there’s no doubt that the riders are going to be throwing down at this event.
For more Information check out www.snowdeo.ca
That’s all for now,
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.

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.
