Capita To the Future

In the movie "Back to the Future" Doc Brown built a time machine out of a Delorean. Ryan Auger out classed him by using a Mercury Sable. Most people would travel through time to see the future and how we're all going to live, the achievements of man kind, maybe get the lotto numbers but not Auger he just wanted to see next years Capita graphics. The good news is the graphics are sick! The bad news, still no hoverboards. -SPK

East Coast is Killing Dew Tour :result

All of us know riding in New England is rarely full of good snow and sunny days, in most cases its completely overcast and icy as shit. So what does that mean for the pro shreds that come to VT for the Dew Tour? It means they are getting their asses kicked! After the prelims were all said and done NH is claiming 5 of the 10 spots for the finals! EB is holding it down with Brandon Reis, Sam Hulbert, and 16 year old Nick Julius. Chas Guldemond and Ian Thorley round out the rest of the granite staters. The finals are going on right now and according to the Dew Tour site Brandon is currently sitting in third place!

Check out this video I nabbed from the Transworld site.

Dew Tour peaks at Mount Snow

Tour peaks at Mount Snow

Boarders, freeskiers share finale spotlight

By Marty Basch and Tony Chamberlain
Globe Correspondents / February 4, 2010
Slopestyle and superpipe take center stage as the three-stop Winter Dew Tour wraps up this weekend at Mount Snow in West Dover, Vt. In its second year, the tour features top-flight freeskiers and snowboarders competing in the halfpipe and on a course loaded with rails and features that make it like taking a long run through a terrain park.
Slopestyle is a non-Olympic discipline but is featured in competitions like the Winter X Games, Grand Prix, and US Open.
“Slopestyle is definitely progressing,” says Brandon Reiss, a 21-year-old snowboarder from Peterborough, N.H., who is in sixth place on the tour. “There’s a high level right now. That’s how snowboarding works, keep progressing it.’’

The progression has led to a must-do trick: the off-axis double flip double cork.

“A lot of people are doing double corks now,’’ says snowboarder Sam Hulbert, 20, also from Peterborough and in ninth place. “It’s kind of scary going upside down a second time. I’m working on it and trying to get into the mix.’’

Reiss and Hulbert train together, pushing each other along the way. Reiss started riding at Pats Peak, while Hulbert ripped it up at defunct Temple. They both landed at Waterville Valley under the tutelage of coach Bill Enos, who has shaped many podium-level riders. Reiss has second-place finishes on his résumé at the Grand Prix and Vans Cup, while Hulbert has top-10 spots in the Global Open series and last year’s Dew Tour. Both made their X Games debut last weekend in Aspen, Colo., with Hulbert as an alternate and Reiss nearly qualifying for the finals.

“There’s variety to slopestyle,’’ says Hulbert. “Every course is different. You go to a new mountain, there is a new course, and you have to figure it out.’’

Reiss found slopestyle appealing because he didn’t ride in a halfpipe growing up.

“There weren’t any halfpipes,’’ Reiss says. “We would build jumps and do little things off jumps and rails.’’

Freeskier Simon Dumont, coming off fourth- and sixth-place X Games finishes, is scheduled to compete along with Peter Olenick and TJ Schiller. Snowboarders Elijah Teter (brother of Olympic gold medalist Hannah), Olympic (2002) bronze medalist JJ Thomas and Chas Guldemond, who earned a slopestyle bronze at the X Games, will be there. The snowboarding members of the 2010 US Olympic team are not competing. Two members of the Norwegian Olympic team are: Kjersti Buaas and Roger Kleivdal.

The preliminaries are today with finals tomorrow in men’s freeski slopestyle and snowboard slopestyle. Saturday is the superpipe finals. On Sunday, Peter Engen of Wellesley and Brendan Wall of Rockport are competing in the Dew Tour’s amateur series, seeking a spot on next season’s tour. There’s also a freeski big-air competition.

Miss Molly: Rail Jam

The Molly Fund was established to help Molly and her family fight her cancer, after she passed her family was inspired to help other families that where up against the same battle.

"Molly's legacy will continue and there will be some good that will surface from Molly's death. Her battle with cancer sparked the love of a community and thousands of people have rallied behind Molly, as well as our family, throughout this entire ordeal. Molly has taught us many things throughout this journey. We understand too well how very precious life is and we have come to redefine the priorities in all of our lives. Suddenly, we are able to find more time to spend with our families. We hug each other more tightly, kiss each other more passionately, and we're focused on being better parents....better people. Molly's fight has also taught us the importance of helping others. We have been blessed with an incredible amount of support, from friends, family, and strangers alike, and it's clear to us now that Molly's legacy - the Molly Fund - will remain in place in order to help other families endure the financial strain while they are helping their child battle cancer." From Molly's father Buck Rowlee
