  • Pro Ride’s running a video contest!

    Submitted by duncan on Wed, 2013-04-17 22:14

    Seems like these days everyone has a way to capture their favorite moments from the day. With camera’s getting smaller and smaller, and with the introduction of the ever popular GOPRO life has never been documented so well.

    Over the years at camp we have noticed an ever increasing amount of lens’ though out the groups, and we want to see what you got. Gather footage of your time on camp, pick a song that captures the moment, and put your editing skills to the test.
    Here is last year winning video from Peter Fusella. Video
     

    Just upload you work (video or slideshow) to vimeo or youtube and send the link to snowboard [at] pro-ride [dot] com We’ll post the video on the Pro Ride website and the coaches will pick a winner. All entries must be in by May 31, 2013. 

  • Showcase Showdown

    Submitted by duncan on Fri, 2013-03-08 14:28

    Under less then sunny skies the Showcase Showdown took place this Saturday at the bottom of Whistler mountain. The Showcase Showdown, now in it's 16th year, has taken many forms over the years. From pipestyle, to jib jam, slopestyle, and this year big air. Charles Beckinsale made a 60 foot step down which sent the riders flying into the village square.
    The theme this year was "Night of the living shred", and with zombie body parts everywhere and the on slought of terrible weather the theme really came to life.

    In the end Marc-Andre Tremblay took 1st place, Matt Belzile was in second, and Nathan Therriault took third. On the girls side Breanna Stangeland took first, Gillian Andrewshenko, second, and Carly Scott in third.

    Also congratulations to Pro Ride coach Duncan Mainland for making it to finals and finishing in 10th place.
