In these dark and trying times we need heroes.
Here are some of the most consistent, creative, and downright wild contests and setups over the years.
An event most of us(other than a few sick fucks) wish still continued.
This is definitely worth a spot in this list.
Killer attention to detail, gorgeous jumps, and the athletes always delivered.
Bummed it’s done but glad it ran for a while.
It was a good one.
Hot Dawgs And Hand Rails
One of the best rail oriented contests from the west coast every season.
Some of the best talent in snerbering as well as some creative classic setups over the years.
Always a classic way to start the season.
Creative setups and skiing!
Candide Invitational
Ahead of it’s time bringing some pretty wild features out for the pros to play.
Candide is sort of a legend, so it’s no surprise that this makes the list.
Jon Olson Super Sessions
Also ahead of it’s time and pretty friggin legendary.
The team edits, new tricks, giant booters, what’s not to love?
Last Call
Another knuckledragger event.
Eastern Boarder’s Last Call at Loon is as OG as pretty much any event.
The vibes are mellow, but people show up to ride.
Bringing your A game is a must if you want to do well.
Big tricks, killer vibes, I wasn’t there, but I wish I was.
As consistently creative as any event I’ve ever heard of.
Nine Knights has drop hammers all around over the years.
Plenty of firsts, HUGEEEEEEEEEE airs, and some of the worlds finest riding the sickest playground in freeskiing.
Long live this event.
Long live the king!
Rails to Riches
Another east coast event that feels consistently core.
A little $$$$ as the name suggests never hurt either.
Unfortunately the closest I got to attending was hitting the pre and post newschoolers party a few years back.
I don’t remember who won the comp, but me and mingg did pretty well in beer pong.
Super park has been a pretty big deal in terms of epic features, and some heavy heavy riding.
Also some classic moments involving snowmobiles and near turf war beefs.
Super park has consistently delivered and deserves a spot in this list.
Giraffic Park
EC headware was a household name and Giraffic Park was pretty friggin cool.
A giant booter on the east coast is always chill.
Propaganda Loop
So this thing was pretty damn sweet.
Straight jacket - Unleashed, and Poor Boys - Propaganda built a friggin loop out of snow.
This is taking it back almost 2 decades.
What the hell were these guys thinking?
Ultra sick and one of the early “where the hell can these sports go” moments.
Xgames, Dewtour, US Open etc..
I wanted to shed light on the smaller comps and the OG’s.
The events that embrace the creative, the weird, the good vibes above all.
Hope you’re having some fun out there on summer setups or whatever else ya’ll are doing.
Winter will be here soon enough.
Stay healthy and pray for some friggin snow!
