at Powder Ridge, MN. 

The Top Set. 

 

Garrett McKenzie Sliding Sideways. 

Krister Ralles Back One On. 

Shane, Probably a 270. Looks like one. 

Austin Young 5-0. 

Benny Milan was spinning 180's on and off this rail all day.

 Just one of the many up-coming rail slayers. 

Mike Thienes making yet another epic edit for us all to watch. 

Past and Future, all in one day. 

Jake O-E came and made some faces for everyone. 

Jake and Sam, Midwest's dream team of filmers minus riley. 

Sam's shot of Kritter Smash! Coors BABY!! 

Jonas Michilot taking it back to the black snow. Boardslide down the kinker!! 

Danny after a long day of judging! 

This is the, 'grrrrrr, that was impossible everyone was killing it!' face. 

The Youth Shelter making sure the goodie bags were filled to the top! 

Garrett and His mother, Mary. Gare bare placed first in 14 and under! 

Good shredding lil grom! He'll be kicking all of our butts soon enough. 

Champions! 

Jesse Paul and Shane Ruprecht battled all day for that trophy. In the end, Jesse came out champ, but dang, shane killed it too! 

Same with the 14 and under kids; Garrett, Benny, and Eddie all throw down so hard.. I would have hated to be a judge. 

Pettit and the MN Crew! 

What a group of guys. I made them all get together for this shot, they grudgingly excepted. One day my friends, we'll all be stoked we have these shots. :) 

The set up was so sick this year! The favorite being a down bar with a tricky approach from the left side. There was an closeout elbow combination that kept everyone mixing up the bag of tricks. I think 120 kids signed up and rode, making for quite the turn out. 

Thanks to all involved! Especially Powder Ridge and the park crew for all their hard work. 

You guys kill it every year!

Thanks Mike Thienes, Bald-e-Gal, the Youth Shelter, and all the riders.

So amped.

Volcom PBR at Powder Ridge Edit.

The Volcom PBJ this year at Powder Ridge, MN.

Mike Thienes and crew killin it and shooting at their favorite resort. Good job to all the kids getting super tricky! It looks like a lot of hammers went down... these comps are becoming insane!

I am so stoked to see Powder Ridge taking it to the next level with the comps they've held so far this season. I'm anxiously waiting to see where they continue to take and how hard they continue to let kids push it. Sick park, sick riding and awesome edits coming from there this year.

Good luck to all the kids who placed and get to move on to finals. Hoping to see the Midwest once again own it out west in California.
