What’s Beach Bash? Think of those perfect hot summer days in July hanging with your friends, chicks in bikinis, warm water, beach balls, drinks….Now picture the perfect park day at your local mountain, freshly shoveled jumps, perfect sunny conditions, bright blue skies. Now throw that all together, add a contest, cash prizes and tons of free Neff swag – THAT’S BEACH BASH!
The final stop of the DC Hit & Run at Whistler-Blackcomb, BC last weekend. The event combined the speed and turns of a traditional banked slalom with the trickery and skills of a slopestyle and pipe event. A rider’s ultimate goal was to get down the course as fast as they can while being judged on three freestyle features (40ft jump, rail section, and a mandatory 2 hit pipe run). The Whistler course was steep with deep smooth bowl turns that had the 80+ competitors more managing their speed than milking for speed. This event concluded the Winter 2016 three stop series and left everyone looking forward to next season.
