Vans Mini Cup At Loon Mtn

Join Vans and Eastern Boarder Saturday, January 10, 2009 at Loon Mountain in New Hampshire for the second stop of the Vans Mini Cup, a new series of three rail jams going down around the country this winter. The event kicks off at 11:00 am and will feature an open jam session, narrowing down to a 10-man final judged by Vans Snow team riders Darrell Mathes and Scotty Arnold along with team manager Doran Laybourn. The winner will score an all-expense-paid trip to the Vans Cup at Mammoth and a slot in the event’s invite-only rail jam. Cash prizes of $500, $300 and $150 will also be handed out to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in both the men's and women's 16 and over divisions.
The Mini Cup stop at Loon Mountain will also serve as a qualifier into the 2009 Great Northwest Gromfest being held July 12 to 16 at Whistler, B.C. Riders under the age of 16 will have a chance to compete for two qualifying slots into the event as well as Vans snow gear, shoes and other cool prize packs!
