Lib Tech’s Downtown Throwdown is headed to San Francisco October 29th.
Lib Tech’s Downtown Throwdown made it’s first appearance in beautiful San Francisco. Nestled in between City Hall, the Library and the Asian Art Museum the event added snowboarding to the diverse culture of the region. And the riding was off the richter scale, new levels of insanity! Tricks were invented and small fortunes made, Dylan “Juggalito” Alito took the win with his axe wielding dominance. Thanks to all the sponsors: Lib Tech, Zumiez, Arnette, Mt Bachelor, Monster Engery, Vans, Go Pro, Sierra at Tahoe, Think Thank, Pow Gloves, SFO, diecutstickers.com, Skullcandy and Snowboarder Magazine.
Mervin Mfg’s Boxes for Days Tour made it’s second stop this past weekend on the sunny slopes of Boreal. Eighty plus Tahoe area shreds took on the ridiculous 240′ up/down/up/flat/down/flat/down/flat/mini-rainbow/down/curve/flat/curve/flat box…also know as the (Lane) Knaack Attack.
Jesse Burtner, Jason Robinson, Maribeth Kramer and Nick Visconti were on-hand to keep everyone stoked and pass out a grip of quality goods from Lib Tech, Gnu, Coal, Snowboarder Mag and Porter’s Tahoe. After three hours of box sliding mayhem, coffin slides and pickle juice shots, Billy Morgan took home the Slippery Banana award and a brand new Gnu Riders Choice snowboard.
