Red Bull 1976 Games Qualifiers

The Red Bull 1976 Games qualifiers are THIS SATURDAY, April 3rd, at The Canyons Resort in Park City.

Check it out:
Teams sporting vintage gear will compete in two events, “Snowbladecross” and “Old School Air.” Teams will be judged the Red Bull way: event performance, creativity, and overall 70’s style. Prizes will also be awarded for best costume and team mojo. So grow (or stick on) those mustaches, squeeze into your one-piece and get ready to party like it’s 1976.
**Teams of college students will receive FREE day passes to the Canyons to be able to participate. Otherwise, the only cost to participate is a lift ticket at the Canyons**

What inspired this wackiness? More than 30 years ago, Denver was awarded the 1976 Winter Olympics. Then, a coalition of activists and politicians campaigned against it and the games moved to Innsbruck, Austria, instead. Well, it’s time the year 1976 had its day state-side!
For a registration form or for any questions or concerns, email or call Jordan Omohundro at:
Schedule of events:
8:00am – 9:00am: Registration at Smokie’s
9:30am – 11:30am: Athlete Training

  • SLC Rail Jam

    The city of Salt Lake is having a three-day Rail Jam competition for a New Years celebration at the Gallivan Center in downtown SLC.  Your friends at the Campus Rail Jam Tour have been asked to plan and build the contest, and we’d be stoked to have you come out and shred.  We’ve got a brand-new setup built by the boys at KAB rails.

    To ride in the comp you need to apply online just like any of our other events.  You will also need to purchase insurance coverage for the event, which is built into the $25 entry fee!  You can apply here: www.galvanicdesign.com/apply

    The event will be spread out over a three-day period, and should be a super laid-back and fun chance to shred with your friends.  Check the picture below to get a peek at our new setup.  Our friends at Yobeat also posted a little video of our least event in Denver, take a look:  http://www.yobeat.com/2009/11/21/magic-mondays-video-from-the-backyard-bang-denver/
    There will be a cash prize along with product and high-fives.  Come out to make some loot or just slide some metal.
