Hot Dawgs and Hand Rails @ Big Bear

It was way too hot for snow, man-
We went to Bear for the annual HDHR @ Bear Mountain. It was sunny and pretty hot, and riders and park crew had a had time maintaining and riding the features.
I had less fun than say, last year- I feel riders couldn’t perform their best because of bad snow condition- Boxes and rails were too sticky and stpid hay flew everywhere making things even stickier! (In between drop-ins crew members were throwing snow and salt to make things better)
I noticed that Zac Hale did some cool moves – Young kids moving fast !
I didn’t stay for the finals but the result goes:
1 Scott Vine
2 Jed Anderson
3 Zak Hale

Best Trick- Ted Borland

No surprises this year! I didn’t take many pictures but here are some:

This is a funky looking box. I think I might be able to get on it but I am scared of going down on it – Especially after seeing someone fall down on it D: Hope they set it up the easy way at some point this season :D Maybe I will be able to do it once or twice!

Too hot for snow!

I think they had this last year too. Scary. Riders were hopping over it frm the side, tapping the top sometimes.

Of course booths were setup and companies were giving out promotional goodies- I managed to get a Skullcandy bandanna and a cap from Volcom- I got to see the Signal Vita Park board and it was really light- I am thinking about getting that board maybe this season. Oh, the Skullcandy stamps were because the reps made us get them – or they weren’t going to give us freebies D: I feel we had a better deal and more booths had goods last year. There were names but a lot of them didn’t have anything.

Hey man how did you get up there?

Ah, so we were like “Let’s go I don’t feel this – ” we ran into these dudes who basically hopped on the lift from the ground. lol. First there was one on the lift-

Let me do it too D:

Then, a second one tried to get on lol

Finally lol
Finally lol

He did make it in the end- It was hilarious. There was a security and he was telling them to come down but there really wasn’t much he could do. I mean what could he do? He couldn’t shake them off the lift- nor could he climb up on the lift himself like a monkey and then tell them to get down. He just shook his head in good spirit and chuckled :D

That’s bear for us!
