Main Event Stop #2: Wachusett Mountain: RESULTS

Press Release: Main Event Stop #2: Wachusett Mountain

The Main Event Series made its second stop of the season at Wachusett Mountain this Sunday. Smiles and sunshine was the theme of the day and everyone had a great time. Wachusett had weathered the ice storm, power outages, rain, and the holiday mayhem in the weeks before the event but you would never have known. Josh Lempert from Snow Grind got to the Mountain two days early, pulled off a few miracles, with a minimum cat time, a chain saw, and a lot of help from the Main Event staff. The course was perfect with a 35' table and a side by side rail and box combo at the bottom. The Mini Main Event setup (for the 13 & under crew) was adjacent to the course and looked like the funnest thing since sliced bread.

With almost 100 competitors the judges were almost blown off the mountain by the level of tricks that were coming out. There were several smooth sailors laying down 900s like it was there job, but Zach Normandin won the best trick when he did his backside 900 was easy like Sunday morning. Randal Zimbone pushed the envelope by going huge and spinning 1080's when no one thought it was possible on a jump that size.
Lauren Tamposi held it down for the second event in a row. She won the pro women's category and won the girls's Best Trick. The Am Men gave the Pro Men a run for their money. For the first time in a Main Event ever, someone did a double back flip and almost actually landed it. In the Mini Main Event department the 13 & Under crowd gave it their all. Once of snowboarding future extremists Rocco Trotto, did a misty flip off of the mini jump which was size of a speed bump.

Pro Men: 1st Place Travis Neuenhaus -- 2nd Place Nick Doucette -- 3rd Place Rob Hallowell

Pro Women: 1st Place Lauren Tamposi -- 2nd Place Jordan Parks -- 3rd Place Nicole Fitzgerald
Am Men: 1st Place Nick Julius -- 2nd Place Zack Normandin -- 3rd Place Merrick Joyce

Rome 2009-2010 Boards

In mid December Hunter Mountain in New York did a demo day for shop employees. Ride, DC, and Rome were in attendence. Ride and DC had this years boards and bindings, but Rome had all of next years boards and bindings! I got a chance to ride the 1985 Artifact and Postermania which are the reverse camber versions of the Artifact and Graft. With the plethora of different reverse camber options out there Rome went with the popular flat base or 0 camber with a little reverse on the tip and tail. This gives the boards a lot less "bannanaesque" feel and in my opinion doesn't really feel that different from any other regular cambered boards, but I will say buttering and presses are much much easier. So if you like the artifact or the graft you might want to check these guys out, if nothing else it will make you float way more in powder and give you those foot high presses you've always dreamed of! Below are some pictures of the aforementioned boards as well as a few others.

Mr. Pickle is angry !!!

Mr. Pickle is angry again... now he feels he's being exploited in the name of cool snowboard technology. The new Gnu Park Pickle was unveiled at the North American sales meeting for Gnu Snowboards. The Patent Pending Proprietary Park Pickle Product will be included in the 09/10 Gnu Snowboard line. Based on the idea that heelside turns require more leverage than toeside turns, the Park Pick will have a deeper sidecut on the heelside. The board is a true twin shape with a centered stance so it can be ridden with either goofy or regular and includes Mervin Mfg’s exclusive use of Banana Technology.

A limited run of 300 Park Pickles for North America will be built and released for sale to select Authorized Gnu Dealers in mid December. You can get your hands on one at the EasternBoarder online store....HURRY, because there are only a few available. Pre-order now, shipping before Christmas.
