Mount Baker Banked Slalom

A while back we ran a little contest with our reps that handed out two entrys in the Banked Slalom. Kind Bro from Coloradical and Sweaty from the Northwest scooped em up. Then our Retailer of the Year, Ben Bonniduchi from Milosport snatched the third golden ticket. Full Sail was our official hook of the group as Joe and Chad provided a bottomless cup of the frosty barley, hops, yeast and water for all of us that weekend along with a house to sleep in, lift tickets and good times. Thank you guys.

A little Foe-Toe essay of the 3 day weekend that felt like a week follows, enjoy:

Fridays qualifier was super overcast till our runs, when ole God decided to part the clouds and "let us see."

Starting gate that should say, entering hell.

There was some death lurking up on that hill. Cambered boards were all over the podium. Rockers rad, but camber takes home the duct tape.

The crew: Joe, Ben, moi, Kind Bro, Sweats and Bye Bye Bybee.

Ranquet was there. Ask him the time, he'll tell you how to build a clock.

Kevin Sansalone didn't throw any 90 rolls but hauled his White Gold ass down the course.

Temple Cummins is one fast cat. Are them Force MC's on his cambered weapon? Check.

No shitting asshole.

We had bets going all weekend. With in our group, $5 a day, winner takes all on the fastest time of the group. Ben won two out of three days.

Northwest represent. Sweat Dog talked shit all weekend, even on the course. To say he "entertained" us would be an understatement.
Max didn't bitch about paying his debt. I had a side bets placed to try and make up the money we were paying to Ben.

Byron paid too.

Paul was this dudes name. His Dad told him to think aerodynamic, so he duct taped his ass up.

Different colors every day.

Nate Holland, X-Games boarder X multi time winner won that shit. With everything he's been winning this year, he needs to change his name to Nate Haulin. 2nd place was this dude Graham who was incredible to watch ride the battle field. Dude was on rails. Temp hung in there for third. Yea Temp.
Thanks Mt. Baker, awesome event, incredible staff, hard as hell course. Riding styles for the weekend would be described as a series of linked recoveries, that's for sure. Our crew held it down though and 4 out of the 7 dudes in the Full Sail house made the main event which was enough of an accomplishment.
