  • Belleayre Thanksgiving Rail Jam Results...it was a shocker!

    what a day/night!!!

    So 120 skiers and snowboarders showed up for Belleayre's Thanksgiving Railjam and 8 of them were skiboarders. The park was open all day for people to practice and at 3pm it was shut down for 2 hours so they could groom it for the main event. At 5pm an open jam session was to begin for an hour and a half. In their normal fashion, Ben and Adam showed up and 4:50.

    All the skiboarders held their own despite being termendously out numbered and we were all really happy to hear one of our own actually made the list of 10 finalists. Ben Wannamaker went on to the finals which consisted of 2 runs per competitor. After Ben's second run (butter 450 to 270 on the flat box + 360 switch on the battleship) it looked like the crowd favorite, and only skiboarder in the finals, would take first place. unheard of!!. But we all new that couldn't happen at a comp. with 113 skiers and snowboarders.
    After 30 minutes in the bar celebrating the awards ceremony began and Ben was awarded 2nd place along with the accolades of many skiers, snowboarders and fellow skiboarders.

    Thanks to everyone who drove so far to spend so little time doing what we all love.

    More pics and video to come.

        This is the same situation Nils and Roberts from Latvia were, they got 2nd and 3rd place in skier comp. so this is everywhere and normally they just cant give first place even the best skier was worse than skiboarder... !

          ROBBED!

          this reminds me of when mike nick was rbbbed at the x-games for being a skiboarder.

          anyways, we all know who the real winner is, props ben.



          but also, i think skiboarding is the biggest winner here. we showed up, and showed them up. many people at Belleayre now have a new found respect for skiboarding. When Ben did he last run, EVERYONE was cheering, regardless of what they where riding, no other snowboarder or skier got the crowd that loud, so i say, victory for skiboarding.

                            what a great day of riding. I overheard a few comments like
                            " man those f'in skiboarders are tearin it up! "

                            I feel like we made a good impression.

                              When a hardcore gorilla needs boards. he gets boards. I mean how else is he supposed to pound his chest and throw front flips like its his job. when he needs a helmet slightly more protective headgear than the spaghetti strainer he gets it. end of story.
