SLUG magazine was at Brighton this past Saturday presenting their annual SLUG GAMES, this years theme being Dawn of the Shred. DJ Matty Mo was on the scene providing beats for all the contestants along with pretty much everybody on the hill as the set up was right underneath Majestic Lift. As always SLUG fronted the bill for all contestants registration and created a unique feature for the event, being a tombstone bonk box, which i heard might be staying on the hill for a little bit.

The sky was sunny, the snow was soft, and what ese is there to do besides take sunny park laps? Today I took a few laps with Brighton digger Nick Justet who knew exactly what he wanted to shoot on and what tricks to lie down.
The SLUG Games – Dawn of the Shred – hits Brighton January 14th on a course customized for all living dead skiers and snowboarders. Tombstone jibs, coffin boxes and toxic waste barrels will decorate the course. DJ Matty Mo will be there spinning the most epic of shred jams, and with any luck Bruce Campbell will show up to save us from the undead.
Registration starts at 10 a.m., entry is free. All you need is your skis or board, a lift pass, and your zombie apocalypse survival kit. Are you ready?
On a rare cold and snowy Saturday StepChild came to Brighton as part of their Child Support rail jam tour. The park crew worked up a course on Thursday which comprised of the new triple drop round bar, the new down flat down fat round rail, and the down fat round rail. Milosport and Blindside got things tarted right with a round of bugers, hotdogs, chips, and drinks for everyone. Through out the day there were multiple challenges going on. There was an award for best rider on each feature, as well as overall achievers, shredder of the day and special for Brighton the E-Man challenge. The E-man challenge was inspired by Stepchild am E-Man who was ollieing from the flat onto the second and third tier of the drop down feature and was simply a best trick contest for an ollie from the flat onto the drop feature. There was a jam style format from which Stepchild ams and child support members, including Brighton locals Parker Worthen and Brandon Hobush, selected a crew of ten riders for a final jam in which the days top three riders were chosen.
Winners were….
E-Man challenge .. Stefan with 50/50 3 out winning Ashbury shades
Best overall rider down rail .. David Faircloth
Best overall rider down flat down .. Will Ermish
Best overall rider drop down rail .. Everest Arnold
Each won a product voucher from 32
Overall for the day
Third .. David
Second .. Pat
First.. Erik
Each won a prize pack of Neff, Stepchild, and Ashbury goods and Erik also went home with a Stepchild FTW snowboard
Second place winner Pat also took home a Stepchild FTW for being most enthusiastic rider of the day… way to come out and shred it Pat
Special thanks to the park crew for putting in the work to get the course up and event sponsors Stepchild, Ashbury, Neff, Blindside, and Milosport.
