Wow.
The level of fun that APIKfest brought to the streets of Montreal was almost overwhelming.
While it was officially a contest, the event felt more like a reunion of skiers from across Quebec.
Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves so much during the event.
It felt like friends skiing together, and there happened to be a crowd in the background.
It was sick to see people were already throwing down hard in practice.
The vibe was already crazy, even before the crowd arrived.
Being able to link that up in such a narrow line is a big feat in itself.
It was unfortunate not to see him in finals.
I think it also helped relieve some pressure for the riders.
Alais Develay landed a 2 on to the down rail after battling it for a while.
The set-up was built right on rue St-Denis (which they liked to call Mt.
St-Denis for the occasion) in downtown Montreal, which made for such a great show.
Thanks to all the riders who showed up and everyone at APIK who helped make this event a reality.
It’s certainly a step in the right direction.
