Seven Springs pulled out all the stops to build what may have been the best course to date for the 9th annual Motown Throwdown presented by Pathfinder of West Virginia. 16 year-old Adam Homberg stepped up and took $1,000 home for first place in snowboarding. Thanks again to everyone who made it out to our Winter kickoff!
Donner Pass is known as the treacherous path westward in which travelers in the mid-1800s resulted to cannibalism to survive the harsh conditions. Yes…they ate each other to stay alive. Fast forward to modern time 200+ years later, and the picturesque 2.4 mile highway has caught the eye of some of the world’s top downhill skateboarders. With it’s elevation change of over 2,000 feet, aggressive corners and possible top speeds of up to 45 mph, the Sector 9 team took advantage of the closed road to explore the dangers that lurk at every corner. Watch Louis Pilloni, A.J. Haiby, Jimmy Riha, Micah Green, and Jackson Shapiera rip down one of the coolest stretches of road on the planet in this killer POV of their session.
