Video: 2012 Grassroots Ranchstyle in Grand Junction, CO.

May 15th, 2012 by

Words & Edit by Trevor Martin

Racing dual slalom on a mountain bike represents what an “alpine coaster” tries to re-create. However there is no greater glory than racing head to head with your friends through dusty trees and floaty jumps. 
Grassroots Cycles of Grand Junction, CO continues to hold one of the fastest and longest slaloms in existence. Here is a quick video highlighting the pro/amature MRP “Super Slalom” race taking place at the 2012 Grassroots Ranchstyle event. Ranchstyle is an event celebrating high excitement mountain bike competitions at a private compound comprised of countless jumps, drops and an ever growing slopestyle venue. The slopestyle is the weekends main event however the lesser known slalom is a real spectacle. 
This side of the event rarely gets any glory however it’s one of the finest slalom competitions to be held within the last decade.
Two separate courses weave their own path through the pinion trees, merging together for some high speed head to head jumps then split again, not to re-join until the finish. Due to the lack of precipitation in the area, many of the corners were full of “beach-sand” ready to grab your wheels if you misjudge the corner.
Mikey Silvestry took the overall win in Pro, edging out Brian Buell in the Final.
Grassroots will be holding another slalom race in October at their annual Huck-tober Fest. 
The following video if from last years Huck-tober fest…

 

Josh Anderson as SaucerBoy….. you want to watch this VIDEO

May 14th, 2012 by

Back in January and February when we weren’t sure that Squaw would stay open until March, Josh Anderson and I decided to have some fun. The snow was non-existant and hardly pow, so we came up with creative ways to pass the days on the hill. Everybody loves SaucerBoy so why not go play the part for a day or two and see what happened? The response was amazing. People were yelling from the chairlifts, taking pictures, and super stoked on the whole thing.   Josh has dressed up as SaucerBoy for various events, and plays the character really well so it was funny.

Saucer Boy

If you haven’t dressed up as SaucerBoy I would suggest that you try it out. Feel out your inner Shane and the SaucerBoy in all of us. The looks, responses, and gawking was certainly worth it and I think Shane would have been proud. Thanks Shane for making these kinds of things funny and fun to do.

May 14th, 2012 by

Our winter season ended quite abruptly here in Telluride with warm days and little snow. This is a look back at some of the better days this spring up in the surrounding high country.

Huge thanks to Casey Riva for bagging some of the footage for us and to everyone else involved over the season. Cheers to a great year despite all the tragedy and hopes of a safer, deeper 2013.

Alpine Conditions Report …. and a sick VIDEO from Jackson Hole

May 11th, 2012 by

Today at Alpine was not too bad. Got out at about 8:30am, and it was worth it. Thought it was a bit early and the snow wouldn’t soften up until later, but it was good timing. It got down to 31 last night, but the temperature inversion that goes on around these parts kept the mountain from freezing.  All the Southern aspects were great in the morning. The Sisters, Beaver Bowl, Palisades, and the “adventure run” to the lookers right of Summit Chair were sick. Cruise down the Sisters towards the gully to skiers left of Summit and you’ll find a hip and 2 QP booters that you can get some air off if you keep your speed up. Below the Palisades there is still remnants of the Standard Films shoot that went down last weekend. A rail off Crash and Burn cliffs. Pretty sick.

Rail off of Crash and Burn, thanks Standard Films

The parking lot was empty and the lift lines were the same. Perfect, more for us. The park, meh. It was super hard in the morning and the speed was questionable. The bottom jump is pretty kicky, and a lot bigger then last week. I’m not sure anybody hit it.  It seems it took most of the day to get the lip shaped up, and the inruns early were sketch. Reminded me of an early morning at Mt. Hood where you question how many beers they had before grooming.

Snow is definitely fading

The snow is fading quickly though. It should be a fun weekend but it seems Summer is almost here. Nothing like shreddin in the AM and then headin to the beach for the afternoon. Life sucks around here I guess!
