It takes more than a red alert winter storm warning to keep Calgary snowboarders home from competition. 56 riders turned up at Canada Olympic Park last Friday night for the Monster Rail Jam sponsored by The Source and hosted by Riders On Board Snowboard Club.
The ‘jam’ format gave riders the chance to do as many runs as they could fit in – three categories of riders took turns over the course of five hours. Rewards for braving the skin-chafing wind and snow were two giveaway snowboards in doorprize draws, iPods for winners in each of the three categories, and a chance for local riders to show their stuff to one of the world’s premier snowboard film crews from Transworld Magazine.
Joe Carlino from Transworld was in town to film local rider Jed Anderson and stepped up to announce the event. Afterward he said he was “blown away by the number of talented riders.”
The next stop on the Source Monster Rail Jam tour is Edmonton, on January 27th. There’s an event in Red Deer in February and a final back at COP on March 6th.
