Shredfest 6 will have TWO freestyle competitions for all of our trick riders out there. You’ve asked and we listened… a flat land competition! We realize that Slopestyle isn’t for everyone so we’ve added a Thursday night Main Stage Trick Competition AND Friday night we will host our Annual Slopestyle Jam Session Comp hosted by @thefloatlife Main Stage Competition Format: We will have an amateur and pro division. The competition will consist of three rounds, each made up of a series of heats featuring two riders at a time. Round 1 will include the highest number of heats, with subsequent rounds featuring progressively fewer heats as riders are eliminated. Each heat will have a duration of two minutes and thirty seconds (2:30). During each heat, both riders will perform simultaneously. A panel of four judges will evaluate each heat. Two judges will be assigned to score each rider. Judges will score riders based on their performance. NOTE: Although riders share the course during a heat, they are not directly competing against one another in a head-to-head format. At the end of each round, all scores will be totaled, and the top performing riders will advance to the next round. Scoring system Riders will be scored across four distinct categories: COMPLEXITY, AMPLITUDE, STYLE & CONSISTENCY. - [ ] Complexity assesses the difficulty of tricks performed, as well as the rider’s effective use of the course features. - [ ] Amplitude evaluates the height, speed, and overall energy of each tricks. - [ ] Style reflects the rider’s individuality, creativity, and overall execution. - [ ] Consistency measures the rider’s ability to successfully land and maintain control throughout their run. At the end of each heat, riders will receive a score ranging from 1-10 in each category. Scores from all four categories will be combined for a total, with the possibility to score a maximum of 40 points per heat. NOTE: A perfect score reflects a flawless performance with no errors or deductions across all categories. The top 3 podium winners will get an automatic ticket to our Championship Event in September to compete for the Best of the West Freestyle CH

Next Saturday 4/25, I’ll be filling ears on the @relishburgerbar patio from 5-8pm! Don’t miss this spot for the sunset, food, drinks, and tunes! 🌅🎸

What we’ve been up to prepping for Shredfest 6!!! Lots of prep goes into this event. It’s been a rough few years throwing events. The economy is tough, gas prices are higher than we’ve ever seen, the world is a dark place, sponsors have dwindled due to all of this and ticket sales are not where they used to be years back. But we keep pushing forward and do what we can to make this event happen. It takes a village of passionate people to put on any community event and we are grateful. We are hoping that we can continue year to year but we really need the community to show up and support by buying tickets. We are grateful for every single person that has volunteered, bought tickets, our prep crews, and anyone that’s ever been involved at our events. Let’s make this year one to remember!!! Thank you @euczac for the promo video. Much love🩷

📣✨Best of the West Announcement✨📣 Lots of information coming out this week about the 2026 racing season. We wanted to help answer some questions and provide some background around what we are doing and why we are doing it. At the end of the day we want nothing more than to grow the community in all aspects — Onewheel racing, EUC racing and Freestyle. We’re thrilled to bring together the minds and hearts behind Let it Ride, SeeknShred, and Northwest Electric Fest to level up all of our events leading up to the Best of the West Championship. And a special thanks to Santa Cruz Wheelslip and Shawn Keck for his invaluable support and expertise. We couldn’t make this happen without all of you out there and we can’t wait to see you soon! Also breaking news tickets are now open for Best of the West Championship September 18-20th! (For a little extra fun, take a shot or a hit every time one of us says “excited” in this video 😂🤣 , guess we just can’t hide our excitement)

I don’t always bring the guitar with me on the trail, but when I do I like to keep it under 25mph on the dirt 😂 This is a favorite practice spot, accessible by @Onewheel or paddle board. Directly across from me was the nest of a local pair of Eagles since 2017, that tree came down in storms recently and they are in process of building a new nest near the original one. 🦅🪺
