SUPERPARK 13 ( THE EYE )

Pat Bridges might look like a sunscreen Mime here in this photo but really he's the orchestrator of the fine event known as "Superpark."
Hats off to Pat and the Snowboarder Mag crew that was there at Mammoth this past week. T-Bird, Tree, E Stone and all the photogs, filmers and behind the scenes people with the mag and Gatorade pulled off a pretty sick week. Park building crews from Mammoth, Bear and Loon made more than enough jumps and jibs to keep everyone busy until all were spent and tired. The Loonatic Jump, Loonics Cube, huge rollers, a GIANT Hip, Bowled Bear jumps with hip, 1/4 Pipes, State of NH jib/hips, tree gaps, a sick BMX style course winding down the trail through the woods and more were scattered all over the mountain at chair 4. Over 30 filmers and photographers were there clicking away all over the place at any given time between sessions on the big stuff so you're going to see footage from this for a long time to come. A lot goes into an event like this..way more than you might think, and guys like Pat make sure it goes off with few issues. Mammoth Mountain crews stayed plenty busy too making sure riders had everything possible to stay happy and healthy.  Killer job everyone .... and thanks a lot Pat for the couch and hospitality. 

SUPERPARK 13 ( THE LOONATIC JUMP )

Chelone Miller guinea pigged this Loon made monster jump before anyone even knew he was going to hit it. He nailed it twice before anyone else even tested the lip out. Pat Moore and Lonnie Kauk soon followed and some heavy stuff went down. Lip to the knuckle was a mere 103'....the step down was damn big too. Chelone scored $2,500 bucks from Snowboarders Pat Bridges at the bar one night for being the man to keep Superpark.. well...super. Chelone is also known for his boarder cross ability and considering going for the US Olympic Team. After this showing at Superpark though, word is his phone has been ringing from possible new sponsors. Hannah Beaman also accepted the money from Pat for being the standout rider from the womens session but she also stepped to the mens jumps with ease along with Jenny Jones who was KILLING it. Playing at the bar that night was none other than Danny Garritys band who made their first appearance to Mammoth a total banger.
