Mo' Post Season at Wild.

Wild Mountain. Melting in 80 degree weather. 

Strange year... 

Two parks and a limitless amount of fun. 

Though it may not look like much, with a little shovel work and a few creative minds this place is a gold mine. There's enough speed to make big gaps or perfect transfer rails while getting at least your three hits per run in. Add in the tow rope and thats easily a few hundred tries at whatever it is you could be trying, all in one afternoon. After this season I'm now positive that we have not even came close to unlocking the potential behind this little park. Most fun place ever. 

Austin Young, Krister Ralles and myself have been pushing shovels at Wild for at least a decade now. It's our stomping grounds for progressive snowboarding. Funny that even after fifteen years of riding here none of us are sick of it. We haven't even had the chance to really make it what it could be yet, but this spring is showing us that Wild can be more than great park.  

Hits all the way down the side wall. 

So EPIC!! 

Cole Linzmeyer's idea for the day was to put this rail on the middle jump, Sam Duncan putting in some shovel time. Enough lify's, action shots for days.

Back to the little park. Let the fun begin.

Riley Erickson also made sure to put in some carves and lip slides in-between shooting. 

Keepin it close.. the midwest way. 

Back Lip! 

Had to go B&W. Check out these clouds! 

like summer out here... 

O E sending it deep. 

Jist of the day. 

It was so hard to not shred the whole time. Who wants to shoot when it's this nice out? 

Had to get a blog edit I guess... A million more and much better tricks went down than I have photos of.. but, I was snowboarding. There'll be an edit from Sam and Riley someday, I'll try to post that also. 

Thanks to Wild and everyone who came out. 

Awesome day. 

Thanks for checkin in.

It's just about as good as the first day of the season, but really, you can't beat the first day. 

This time of the year when the snow is melting is sad cause we have to say our goodbyes to our life passion.. but sooo sick cause it's so good to shred in the warm air. Today we were at Wild, and it was hot. The snow is melting quick but the parks never been so good. Everything has kinda came out of that deep freeze and it feels like an average day at big bear, but with a tow rope.. major perk to these warm days. It was cooler to be shredding in the breeze rather than stand around melting all day, so Wild it was and Wild it will be for at least another week.. they got snow. 

Krister Ralles: QP back flip indies on lock. 

Oh werd. 

and sporting that good 'ol Coors jersey. Next place these photos are going is to their marketing directors.. Krister should be on the team. 

lify of the day. 

Austin Young: styled out indie on the QP. 

Austin put in some serous time shaping that QP just for moments like these. 

...and these. 

Kritter got a lil caried away on this one and just had to settle with the rodeo(i think??). 

Cole Linzmeyer, Aka Rocky, came and showed me a thing or two about stylish grabs. 

The Roast Beef Indie topped it for me today. 

Soooo good!!! 

He had these grabs on lock for the jumps and had to come over to show us how to boost a real sick backside air. So good. freakin out. 

Austin ended it with this sick misty flip. 

I rarely get to see him go upside down, but when I do, I like it. 

Home Sweet Home. 

Reppin this good wood. 

and slick shoes. 

get some snow before it's gone!!
