BACK TO THE BONEYARD RESULTS

Waterville Valley, NH , March 30, 2009... Last Tuesday Waterville Valley and team rider Pat Moore hosted the first annual Back To The Boneyard. The purpose was to raise some dollars towards scholarships for the Waterville Valley Academy Snowboard program and have a reunion for all who once called Waterville home. A mix of infamous NHD's and Waterville up and coming riders made up over twenty teams of three, plus 100 spectators also attended to catch the action. There were three sections: a rail section comprised of the original double barrel that once was the only rail in the Boneyard and the bus top, a hip and a 30 foot jump. Each team had to choose which member would shred each section. At each section was a list of tricks, each with a monetary value attached, land a backside rodeo on the jump and that team member raised $13 for their team and the scholarship fund.

The day started off on the rail section and bus top where the standouts were young Jack Herald, Shaun Murphy and Forest Bailey. High Cascade's Preston Strout riding a vintage Daniel Frank board showed he still has some skills throwing down a backside air on the bus top as well as boardslide to stalefish out on the double barrel.

Next was the hip, where Red Bull rider Nils Mindnich was going massive with 1-footers and five grab combos. Fresh off an amazing US Open Slopestyle victory NH Buzzard Chas Guldemond was throwing big old methods and backside 7's. WV Academy students Colin Hart and Kai Wiggins were raising money with backside 5 grab combos and some stylish tuck knee indy's.

In the jump section Waterville Academy Alumni Wes Walsh threw a quad grab combo to get things started. Nick Julius from the WV Academy raised some money by sticking both a backside and a frontside rodeo. Other notable riders on the jump were Cole St. Martin, Brendan Hart and Eastern Boarder's Ted Lavoie.

The awards ceremony was a packed house featuring some old video and a slide show of the Boneyard. Pat presented a 2009/2010 pro model board from Forum to Matt Gormley Waterville Valley's Terrain Park manager during the Boneyard era.

Overall the day was downright special and amazing. People came together to relive past memories, see friends and raise money for a great cause. A huge thanks goes out to everyone that showed up and all of the sponsors: Forum, Foursquare, Volcom, Eastern Boarder, Red Bull, High Cascade Snowboard Camp, Waterville Valley and Skydive New England. Below are the official results and we'll see you next year.

WORLD QUARTERS 2009

BACK TO THE BONEYARD

ONE DOWN TWO TO GO

World Quarters has another one in the books. Today was just what you might expect from this legendary East coast event. Lots...and lots of consumed cold ones and random bottles of who knows what with an apple on the sticker, redbulls, fireworks, fire pits, slednecks, gauntlets, mayhem, hilarity, and more all in the name of snowboarding. This is also as NH as Vt can get. No, it's not the Arctic Challenge 1/4 pipe in fact it's not even the point...it's friends and fun on the snow. Here's Rome rider Greg Bokenkamp getting a little spray from inhouse Rome regular Mike Paddock and the stock double backs over a marshmallow pit. More pics coming soon...right now it's packing up for Waterville and the Boneyard and Loon for Last Call Wednesday. This seems to be the Triple Crown of Spring riding here in New England. If you missed out on today you're blowing it...get packed up and up to NH for Tues and Wed.

GOGGLE TAN

It's a few days away and the weather is ..well weather, but right now Last Call is looking like a hell of a day for a BBQ and a Spring event.

Wednesday, Mar 25

Make sure to give those guys props for whatever they make...they put in long hours for all of us every year. The riders listed here need to be at registration EARLY that Wednesday morning or can lose their spot. We'll need to start on time ..thanks. Bub

KRUPER AND PAT

KICKS +

The shoe wall is filling up again this time of year if your toes are looking for a little shelter. New Krew K Slims t-s and more too.

ROME IS KEEPING IT REAL

Read about the teams road trip off of this link. It's a cool idea and a nice way to keep the team on the ground level in a way... after all it is snowboarding not a rock show everytime you strap in. Who knows where they'll end up when they get into the US ..keep your eyes open.

K2 / LAST CALL

K2 has kicked down some killer prizes to top off some of the other stuff you can win at Last Call this year. Check it..K2 Weapon rocker, WWW LTD, WWW, Auto Ever and Cinch CTS foot clamps, and for the ladies a VAVA VOOM and Fling...plus hats , t-s....and more.....YEAH K2! If you're not on some heli trip you really need to be at Loon on the 25th.

JUST IN

New Emerica, E'S, Nike. We had Vans some DC, Analog, RVCA, EB and other things roll in recently too. We're unpacking some new Krew and Sole Tech clothing tomorrow ...more to follow. It's that time of year. I had to toss in some effects to make it all seem even more amazing!...weeeeeeeeee!

PARTY MARTY RIPS

GET SOME

SWEET!

Spada and Read scored this OG Matt Cummins whip the other night. Not a bad trade for some used bike parts we had kicking around the shop. I'm cleaning her up and riding it on the 24th Back in the Boneyard...ohh yeah..I just need to get 1/4 20 hardware now..hummm.

BACK TO THE BONEYARD

The day before LAST CALL head on over to WV and go back in time to the original park layout that helped shape what parks have become. Find a place to stay that night because there's going to be a ton of people in town gearing up for the next day at Loon. (Click the image to make the poster larger)

LAST CALL

Snow air and steel combat returns to Loon Mountain March 25th with EASTERN BOARDER'S 9th ANNUAL LAST CALL. Down and dirty NH style riding where men are men and women are few and far between. Each year our three ring circus of creative features offers a challenge to riders to push their limits of tech and gnar. This event has seen the very best riders from all over New England and beyond over the years. No breaks for commercials, no interviews, no babies. Taunting, one upping, and claiming is encouraged. Pre game and after party.
Up for grabs: 15 minutes of fame, $5,000 in cash, a $1,200 Oakley watch, backpacks stuffed with prizes and more. Thank you to Loon and our sponsors K2, Oakley, Scion, Redbull, Skullcandy, Ogio, Level, and Spacecraft.



Last Call is an open event for highly advanced/pro women and men. Space is limited to 80 riders. Be on time for registration or be a spectator. Get a room in town, and use the shuttles to the after party that evening to avoid the free blue light transportation.

NASHOBA TONIGHT

Be at Nashoba Valley tonight with EB and Redbull for a booter event. Mike built up a good sized double lipper on Wardance in front of the lodge for an evening of carnage and flippers. I heard it was a 35' and a 55'?! which will have to be mellowed to maybe a 45' due to soft, possibly even wet snow conditions tonight with the warm weather. We have some prizes from VOLCOM and VANS plus you're going to be able to win some cash collected at sign ups ..bring your A game, some paste wax for a little more speed, a few friends, and come on out before 5:30 ish so we can start by 7pm.

TIMBER RIDGE VT...

...will be the host spot again for the World 1/4's Monday March 23rd. Win a grand in cold hard cash..no really...hard cash..as in you'll be paid in quarters. Details to come.
