All divisions showed all levels of gnar!

From the non-sponsored, all the way up to shredders Girls/Trans division is growing everyday with fearless rippers, you could even tell the old man division was amping their game from the scents of Bengay and icy cold floating around the ramp before the jam, fun filled day with family and friends.

Thank you to 35th North and Brixton for making an  epic day !
