I know, I don’t always post snowboard videos…but when I do they are rad. The 2nd annual Cinco de Mayo Ruckus in the Rockies event took place last weekend in Lake Louise and damn did it look fun. It is a sort of snowboard X meets slopestyle event where more than one rider is on a slopestyle course at a time. Each duo competes for points until the end when they split them up and have a single winner. Mark Sollors wound up being the overall winner. Nothing better than HUGE laid out backies. The music is The Beatie Boys, a nice tribute to MCA.
