Event #2 of the K-town Showdown took place on a cold and clear day on Mouse Run. KWSC/KMS Snowboard Team represented in huge numbers, and stole the day! The 1st heat at the top of the course saw a pole jam or C box choice both of which flowed into a street style down bar. Joey Leon ruled the day with switch backside 180s off the pole jam followed by smooth boardslides. Will Stellar (defying the odds) pulled a sweet 360 off the pole jam, and some nice swicth ups on the down rail. Other higlights from the first heat- Alex Sheppard's grabs off the pole jam, Maggie's smooth 50-50s, Peter Cimmino's pretzel out on the down rail and Ben VanPut's switch-up on the down bar.

Heat two really saw KWSC rider's stepping it up as Cimmino crushed the flatbox to down box combo feature. 180 combos, tail presses and all kinds of variations were thrown down. George McKeever-Parkes nailed 50-50's down both boxes while Harrison Pelletz nose-to-tail-pressed the boxes. Ryan Sihler came through with a board slide on both boxes as Sean Grondin threw a super stylee frontside overcrook on the 2nd box. Christian Vosburgh and Cameron Slenker were working on some really cool tricks, but lacked the consistency to make the podium today. Next time guys!

Coaches Gillian and Evan were super proud of everyone's effort- and so was I!!! Way to push yourselves and give it your best shot KWSC!!!
