SNOWBOARDING.
It's the freedom of expression. Everyone has a different stance, a different style, a different technique, a different line, a different run, a different experience. When you see a crew run a set in sequence and although all may look similar, there are unique variances in each person's steeze that makes each individual person a star in their own right. Freeride. Freestyle. Back country. Street. Park. Pipe. The boundaries are constantly being pushed and broken. We are all the same. Snowboarders. But were are all unique. We ride rocker or cambered decks. We ride powder boards or short jib sticks. We wear flashy baggy kits or tight emo pants. The opportunity for individualism and self expression is limited only by the imagination of the individual.

Sunshine Downtown Throw Down

This past Monday, Sunshine held a fun event to showcase a few of their terrain park staff in the middle of downtown Calgary... During lunch!
I am sure you can just imagine the surprised looks on all the business peoples faces as they walk down Stephen ave only to see 1) snow!?!?! and 2) a park setup (ramp + 20ft flat box)?!?!!?, let alone skiers and snowboarders jumping onto the box and sliding in some manner to the end. ha ha ha the crowds were definitely stopping to check out the action.
