The Grind Whistler. Awesome event and great times watching athletes throw it down.
As they say, it takes a village…
Shoutout to the judges and commentators encouraging perfect trick execution and presses! Respect to Jackie
@churchhockeyleague for going home with the Show(wo)man award that was hopefully worth a slightly bruised ass ☠️. You’re a trooper. Well deserved overall wins for Maggie
@maggie.crompton on the woman side and Dane
@dane.menzies in men. I have a feeling we will be seeing more of Maggie in the coming years, her riding was outstandingly clean. Maybe a street part? 🤓 One more shoutout, to Truth
@truthdsmith who put on a steel riding clinic, with a tandem drop-in into the finals with
@calebchomlack , massive spin-ons and a flip out of the donkey to close the sesh.
The course was maintained to perfection by the
@arena_snowparks crew (shoutout
@lucas_ouellette ,
@madzilla09 and
@tyewilson_ ) who also framed the start area with beautiful signs celebrating Jeff Keenan and Kai Smart. Thank you Jen
@mrsjengirardi for all your work behind the scenes and helping me carry my bag while I hopped around on crutches🫶 and last, but not least, big thanks to Ben
@bengirardi for getting me into the field!!!
That’s just a tiny sliver of what went down, I was impressed with all the athletes performing at a high level and showing precision in their riding. Follow up post with more riders who didn’t podium, but definitely stood out, coming soon 🤓
Thank you for having me
