The Breckenridge Dew Tour is officially over and its definitely a new season with a new level of riding. Finals for snowboarding started off with the woman, it was a pretty slow battle and I’m pretty sure that every girl fell in finals but I saw some good stuff go down in practice especially Janna Mayens cab 7’s off the toes but south lake tahoe local Jamie Anderson took 1st doing a backside 180 into a switch back 5 to a front 3. On the other side of the table were the guys landing everything possible on a snowboard, a few stand out runs that I saw were Torstein Horgmo’s jump line which was switch back 12, front 10 to a back 10.. it was a real treat but unfortunately he scrubbed a few of the rails giving him a 4th place spot just outside the podium. Another impressive jump line I saw was Chas Guldemond’s switch back 9 into a front 7 to a backside 12. but the podium was filled with young guns and local killers, 3rd place went to Local Eric Willett wo had some super solid rail tricks and a jump line that was really fun to watch, switch backside 9 into a frontside 1080 to a double backside rodeo. 2nd place Sage Kotsenburg and 1st place Tyler Flanagan are actually the same ago (both 16) and both had the same jump line Cab 9, Back 10, Front 10 but Tyler sealed the deal with his rail stunts. Look forward to the next few stops to see what comes of this event. Go to http://www.allisports.com/ to see more about the event. - Zak Shelhamer
