Gnu Riders to Headline Session 3 at Camp Woodward in Copper Colorado

Forest Bailey spent his winter filming and winning the Ride Shakedown Rail Jam at Mt Saint Sauveur, Canada, the Tube City portion of the Holy Oly!, the Rails to Riches Rail Jam in Killington, the Back Yard Bang Rail Jam in Denver, and taking runner up at the Downtown Throwdown  Rail Jam in Seattle.  Forest is looking forward to going to Woodward at Copper saying, “I can’t wait to get to Woodward at Copper, they have the sickest skate bowl and the foam pits are amazing.”

Coming off an outstanding season including a Dew Cup Halfpipe Title, European X-Games Halfpipe Gold Medal, and a 2nd place finish at the US Open, Kaitlyn Farrington, will also be heading to Woodward at Copper.  Excited to be part of the camp and progress her own riding Kaitlyn said, “I can’t wait to go to Woodward!  It will be the first time I have hit an airbag!”

Also representing Gnu will be East Coast transplant and Tahoe local Nate Farrell and Bear/Mammoth local Bryn Valaika.

Located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Woodward at Copper gives campers the ability to not only ride on snow, but to learn tricks on trampolines and the snowflex to foam pit jump in the Barn.  Other recreational activities are not limited to, but include driving go-carts, skateboarding, rock climbing, hiking, mountain biking, and playing mini-golf.

Just back from a killer AK trip!

Mervin’s NW Rep Kyle Phillips reports from his recent demo trip to Alaska:
Thursday was a foggy day of shredding that opened up to sun for the 4-6pm session, then Friday was a sunny Demo. Lots of people came out to the freshly cut park and pipe and we turned 50 demo boards! Stoked to have a Fleet of Demos and a Demo Tent up there. Many more demos to come to Alyeska Resort!


Saturday was a SnowMoBoard mission deep into the Kenai with Nate, Chad, Chris, Dingo Dan, and many others. Found some sick terrain and features for sure. Finished up off the trail around 9pm and chilled the rest of the night BBQ and bonfire in Cooper Landing at Jeff’s cabin. thanks for the floor space and hospitallity Hoque!
