2010 USASA NATIONALS

Max, Mitch and Alex went all out at USASA Nationals and did well in all their respective events. Some highlights include a 3rd place finish for Mitch in halfpipe and a repeat 2nd place finish for Max in boardercross. It was great ending to a excellent season!

KMSST Week 19 & 20

The team resumed training after finally recovering from the long travel back from Oregon. We hit up the Dreamaker park, halfpipe, plus a little Stash sprinkled in between. Unfortunately, the weather was not too cooperative, which allowed the boys to revisit the Rutland Bowlerama for final bragging rights on the greasy hardwood.

To wrap up the season - all four boys qualified for USASA Nationals at Copper, CO! We will be traveling for the week long competition beginning April 2nd. Alex qualified for halfpipe, Mitch for slopestyle and halfpipe, Chris boardercross, and Max giant slalom and boardercross. Be sure to check back for results and updates.
