Last saturday we had the hipster jam contest. Basically the name said it all.  With beautiful weather and huge tricks being thrown down it made it a great event to watch. Not only was it a contest for the riders but also a contest for photographers. Some of the standouts from the events were riders Everest Arnold and Kenneth Russel. Everest pretty much killed the competition with a huge frontside 360 over the whole thing. The photos from Jesse Anderson should explain it all.

Well, the weather didn’t really cooperate, but the first Droppin’ F-Bombs contest at Brighton went down with great success. Over 100 kids signed up to test their skills against Brighton’s newest park obstacles. By the time the course opened, it was dumping, so speed was hard to come by, but that just meant you had to hike up a little further!  Ben Farrell took home some 09 Arena Bindings for his 50-50 to Bennihana off the Torpedo Jib, Alex Andrews found himself stomping around in some 09 Boots with his Cab 450/450 out on the Firecracker Jib, and Christian Hobush will be jibbing in style for the rest of the year on a brand new Youngblood for his 360 nose bonk on the Straight Up Bomb. Gut Bombs were served, so I shudder to think what the Brighton bathrooms looked like after, but the biggest explosions came after the contest when Brighton lit up a 20 minute fireworks show. Thanks to Jared and his crew for getting the course set up, and thanks to Evan for the killer event! See you next year!  (more…)

The park crew has been slaying it and has truly shown. Heres a couple of pictures from a couple days ago of some kids loving the park. There was even a guy in a banana suit. haha check it outtttt. (more…)

The strong winds made it almost impossible for the fine people at Arkade Magazine to set up their tents and banners of fellow sponsors of the Arkade Games competition on Saturday March 1st. Despite the weather and the flat light, I was able to get a few subpar shots of many of the riders…Here is a preview. Keep your eye out for a full write up and other photos in Arkade Magazine!  (more…)

Congratulations to 1st place Brady Monk, winner of the March 8, 2008 Bluehouse Urban Classic Slopestyle Event. Brady threw down switch 7′s and stomped 900 airs to take home the grand prize, a brand new pair of Bluehouse MR 179 skis, Anon goggles and $100 gift certificate to tramdock.com. Close behind Brady were 2nd place Tanner Kadlack, and Josh Gifford placed 3rd. 4th place overall and winner of the women’s category was 20 year old Kristie Giles. A shout also goes out to Groms of the comp, CJ Bode age 13 and Nick Fromm age 10 who won their age divisions and skied away with brand new pairs of Anon goggles. It was a sick event thanks to sponsors who generously donated time, effort and prizes: Brighton Terrain Park, Bluehouse Ski Co., UtahFreeskier Society, Tramdock.com, Discrete Headwear, Skullcandy, Cafe Sabor, and Spoon Me Yogurt.

After hiking around all morning in Brightons backcountry with my extremely heavy photo backpack equipped with multiple flashes and tripods, we decided to have a little fun in the park before packing up and heading to Del Taco…It was just the three of us, Ben Gustafson, Will Tuddenham and myself (Dave Brewer)…I didn’t know that Will could do handplants, but he proved me wrong! The photos tell the story:

Cale Zima and Pena at Brighton. Joel was there too, but had a little to much of the sauce the night before. 

It was exquisite morning with tuxedos and prom dresses. A full black tie event was going down. With over 50 competitors the field was stacked. Skiers from all over joined in the 1st annual Blue House Rail Jam. Kids were spinning on and off the rails. It was wild, all wile sporting ties. We all had a great time, everyone rode well and the weather was perfect. Big thanks to Blue House and their awesome crew. (more…)
