Lucas Magoon took home $10,000 for shredding over 32 other professional snowboarders in Mission Beach, CA last night. That’s right, down next to the ocean Sun Diego Boardshops, Monster and a mess of other sponsors threw down money to set up a rail jam, crush some ice into snow and throw a heck of an after party/bikini jam at the Wave House. So we had it all, waves (real and artificial), the beach, snowboarding, bikinis, alcohol, skating, heck what else could you want?
Here is the set up while the snow is being applied
Chad Otterstrom did double duty: representing Academy Snowboards and making the 12 man final
The talented and beautifully pale DJ Tuesday
The scene; right next to the rollercoaster, is not America great?
Keegan Valaika during practice. Practice pays off cause Keegan got 3rd place
Kyle Lopicollo was looking like he could take home the big pot o gold. He went bigger and tried harder than everyone else, even possibly had the most fun. In the end though, others proved more consistent overall. Here Kyle flies into a 270 to front board
here is Transworld cover boy Aaron Bitners 50-50’s to 180 out to 4th place
Six girls signed up for the women’s contest. Melissa Evans beat out Silvia Mittermuler and last years winner Desiree for a victory with manuevers like this 50-50 to board
Bozenuts or Nate Bozung with a big gap to back lip
Mike Burton
Sketchy D was rockin the sick tricks but also lived up to his name as he received the dubious “best wreck” award
Mike Casanova is a heavy hitter in the rail jams
Yale Couisno, man, another heavy hitter
Silvia Mittermuller
Lucas Magoon sliding to victory. Lucas pulled a lot of tech stuff so 1st place went to Lucas
Kevin Casillo, the Hexi Mexi, 50-50’s through the kink and 180’s out of it
Kyle Lopiccollo said the course was fun. Heck, right now there was probablly more snow on the rail jam than in all of California
Bozenuts and Transworld’s own Evan LeFabre
The winner, Lucas Magoon and the Dingo. Dingo annouced the whole thing along side Pat Bridges of Snowboarder
On to the bikini pics which need no explanations
See you next year
