The NW Mervin crew went to host a demo at Mt. Bachelor and to check out the Dirksen Derby. I have to say: After 23 years of attending the Mt Baker LBS… the Dirksen Derby at Bachelor is an all time event that embodies what is special about our “anti” sport.

Well done Mr. Dirksen and all of the shred community in Bend. I’ll return every year :)

Highlights:

  • Forrest Burke one footing the split race in a poncho.
  • Terje Haakonsen showing up.
  • Manifest and the spirit of ARob.
  • Meeting Gerry.
  • Blair, Matt Shredgers, JRob, Maria, Adam Haynes, Tucker Andrews, Scotty, Forrest Burke, Max and Gus Warbington all killing it on hand made Mervin boards.
  • Knowing that snowboarding is in a good place :)

Thanks:
Josh Dirksen, Scotty Whitlake, Jake Price, Gerry Lopez, Becky Kinney, the Warbington’s, Tim Lawler and the demo crew, Tory Bland and all the shred community of Bend OR.

The summer stop of the Boxes for Days tour touched down at High Cascade Snowboard Camp on Mt Hood for a day of boxes, bananas and Burtner. Thanks to HCSC, Lib Tech, GNU, Coal, Snowboarder Mag, Poler and Snowboy Productions for making it possible.

Here’s a little breakdown from the eyes of NW Reps I-Phone.
Summer time at Mt Hood, HCSC, Think Thank’s Ransack Rebellion, Boxes for Days… and big ollies on bananas.
Ransack was sick with standout parts from Lib riders: Jason Robinson, Jesse Burtner and Ted Borland.
HCSC is in full effect w/ plenty of snow on the hill and features for days
Boxes for Days went off with plenty of bananas and killer prizes for creativity…

Bananas were giving us fuel to ride bananas and then win the highest ollie contest at Americas Next Pro Model. Congrats Forest Bailey for proving you can accomplish anything with bananas.
