On Saturday September 18 the #2 stop of "The Feeders" rail jam by Lib-Tech, Zumies, Jones Soda, and Snowboy Productions went down in the Auburn Super mall Parking lot. "The Feeders" event is a qualifying competition for the 5th annual "Downtown Throwdown" in downtown Seattle. The three 1st place winners at "The Feeders" events will get a spot to compete against some of the top pro's in the jib world. Next stop for "The Feeders" event is September 25th in Oregon at the Clackamas Town Center so check that shit out!!
Thankfully the weather man sucks and instead of the forecast of rain, we had sunny conditions most of the day until the end when it started to get a bit nasty. But that's Washington for you, and La Nina is sure as hell on the way this season! As soon as everyone remembered how to strap there feet into there snowboard again and took a few awkward runs, people started to throw down and didn't stop until the finals were done! Kraemer Rickman walked away with 1st, Travis Claughton 2nd, Jessie Gouveia 3rd, and I snagged the Zumiez's Destroyer Award. Kickass first day rippin, and one good start to the season!!
You can always count on some sketchy scaffolding set up at these urban competitions
