I got some moderately fresh News for you to enjoy. Alternative Groove and The City of Nanaimo are hosting a local snowboarding Jib contest at Bowen Park. Things get underway at 10am on February 22nd; entrance fees are $10 and include a free Picnic in the park ultra rad shirt! So wax up your winter board, practice your pretzel to tail scooter and come get funky on our wiggle boxes.
For more details give us a call on the telephone, check out our facebook event or contact parks and rec at 250-755-7522.
Fun Fact Update: While eavesdropping on Marc, I overheard that Parks and Rec are building event specific jibs.
** Important Message: All you groms under 19 (maybe 18, I’m not sure) need to have your folks sign a waiver. Get it done before the event and pick em’ up ahead of time at the shop.
Want to cork Nines, pretzel double kinks and float rodeos? Well, it’s acknowledged truth that all great snowboarders begin on their ass. Thankfully the handsome chaps over at Jump Camp have organized a freestyle snowboard clinic to facilitate that grueling learning curve. The show takes place on Forbidden Plateau through February, March and April. Remember kids, cell numbers, friend requests and event invitations only occur if you got the impressionable skills: nobody likes a poser! Jump on their site and enjoy the liberties associated with dexterous snowboarding.
Do you know who Dane Reynolds is? if you don’t, you’ve obviously been living in a closet for the latter half of this passed decade. If that’s the case, I suggest you come out of the closet and jump on the train before its too late! This guy is polar expressin’ his way to the top of the surf world and he’s legit as PBandBacon sandwiches to boot. So surrender yourself to this little sample of his wizardy (easily comparable to gandolfs)
and make sure to frequently gander his blog marinelayerproductions.com I promise if you become 1/16 as cool as Dane you’ll have no problem picking up your local Moxies waitress!
