Chandler on the down rail. Chandler ended up finishing 3rd in the Am division with consistent tricks all over the course...must be all those Cobra Cogs he eats! Sauce & Bits (PC style) if I remember correctly.

I'm not really sure what's going on here, but I think I like it.

Jordan Morse (Burton) with a back 1 onto the down-rail...or was it a back 3? Both definitely happened. Watch out for this guy!

Tron gives Jack Herald a pound for winning 1st in the AM Division. Cab 3's onto a down-rail will have that effect. The girl in the back can't believe the tricks that went down.

You really can't go wrong with hot dogs, hamburgers & Pink Floyd.

These kids are about to get X-treme. The Doritos are a dead giveaway.

This is what happens when you make people wait for burgers.

Stevie Bell, Tyler Blackburn, myself & Erin Comstock tally up the votes. Judging was extremely hard. Lots of fancy maneuvers went down.

Fellow doggers. Larn & Jesse taking care of business inside the shack. How do you like your Cobra Dog?

The course dreams are made of. Skier - "Is this real life?"

Alex McCarty didn't end up placing; does it look like she cares? (taken in practice)

Tron & Pops. Rail jam hosts & the closest thing to real life 'Step Brothers' I've ever encountered. Rumor has it they came up with all the good ideas for Star Wars.

Mya loves rail jams but hates the cold; so she bought a jacket. Great job Mya!

Workin' hard or hardly workin'? Welp, by the looks of the course, these guys must be tired. PCMR Park staff is killing it.

Wallah!

These guys were psyched to have their picture taken, so psyched Hank Stewart (middle) landed 3rd in the AM division. Question: Where did that guy's nose go?

DJ Matty Mo setting up for the show. A classic selection of rock, hip-hop and club bangers. Just what the doctor ordered.

E-Man Anderson (Stepchild) with a flat-ground back tail. At this very moment, spectators began 2nd guessing reverse camber.
