Showdown Over the City

 Hey hey,

My brother took some photos from my last competition the Quiksilver Showdown Over the City at Grouse Mountain last weekend. The sun was out and the jumps were huge for the green run they were on... not the best combination. Speed was a huge issue for the riders. The park crew had to trim down the jumps as much as possible after the riders were unable to clear the last jump in qualification. The next day they were ready with bags and bags of salt. Even still the best guys were narrowly clearing the last jump. Pretty crazy.
