Jumping is fun, but it is much more fun on a perfectly shaped booter built by park artist Eric Rosenwald. Boreal Ridge hosted G4 TV’s The Block reality series sponsored by Bataleon Snowboards, PortersTahoe.com and Scurvy Bastards. Once again in last minute Scurvy fashion we did not receive the top-secret location until three days before the event. Through word of mouth 14 riders were there to represent. Brandon Cocard, Chris Bosco and Silas Stannard represented the Porters team. Bobby Witty could not attend due to the “burger incident” the day before at Alpine.


Brandon Cocard. Frontside 3 Lein.

It was a 1hour and 15 min jam session with the top five receiving prizes. The winner received $500 in singles, which would be wisely spent in the “Biggest Little City in the World”. We could call Binky’s girl to see if she was the lucky one and came up $500 richer.


Chris Bosco. Backside 180

The shredding began with lots of “tail” grabs and plenty of “stale” fishes. However, there was a TINDY sighting performed by Mr. Kyle Earl, you lose points for that one but Damien Sanders would be proud. A beanie went down on a 1080 but no need to worry it was saved from an icy grave. The size of the jump allowed contestants to perform many whirly birds and ninja like maneuvers. Ahh! All black ninja! Since the jump was at the top of the mountain the long chair ride back allowed for Binky to get his commentary on. Which was quite colorful! Binky is the man. Dingo you suck! Happy B-day Dingo!


Frontside 720.

In the end Dan Pitbladdo walked with the $500 in singles, a Bataleon Snowboard, and a sick Porters Sk8 deck. Kyle Earl and Brandon Cocard each walked with a Bataleon snowboard and Sk8 deck. Fourth place winner Silas Stannard was stoked out with a FREE night stay at the Block courtesy of Liko and Joseph. The fifth place winner was also stoked out with a FREE night at the Block. Sorry dude I forgot your name, send me an email.


Binky with the $500.00 Cash in singles. Gonna make a lucky dancer happy!

The next event is the final one and is TBA. I will put a post up if you want to come and check out the event. The invited riders will be going up against some invited pros (TBA) to see if they got what it takes to become a pro shredder.
