2011 Quicksilver Downlow

So the time has come again for the Quicksilver Downlow. Its always a great day filled with friends, bands, BBQ, sun and snowboarding! The park is shut for several days in order to get ready for the event. Obstacles are built up bigger and scarier then ever before and are let loose for the riders to shred. It was the first year double corks were landed in Ontario, which got the crowd and other riders hyped up. Things just got out of control you could say.

They started with a street inspired closeout rail with drop, which was a new feel for the downlow and it worked out well.
Next was a best trick on the 140 foot rail which only a couple people made it to the end but unbelievably one rider did a noseslide while grabbing nose and indy...crazy, i know.
Then it moved onto the 62 foot jump, cut out for added dangerous look to it. As I mentioned before a couple double corks and so much rotation I couldn't even begin to add it together.
Then onto the always fun water feature, except this year no one even touched the water. It was the goal post feature with a pool cut out under it, amazing things went down, and Jamie's bad fall stopped the session before it got too out of hand, hope he recovers quick!

Overall it was a great end to the season, and I cant wait for next year.
Here are some photos to let you see the madness that is Downlow 2011.

Have Fun!
