Gillis, JR and Wagner went log jibbing the other day. Get your mind out of the gutter, what i mean is they were jibbing a tree log with their snowboards. At Alpental.
At the run out of Trash Can there’s a large tree that mother nature decided would be a perfect jib for snowboarders. So she knocked it over and wedged it between two other trees. Good lookin out!
There were some pretty rad manuvers thrown down. 50-50 to front 3 out, Method/Sombrero removal combo, 15 foot-to-flat StompPad tea-baggers and of course some epic wrecks. On the gnarliness scale i’d give this maybe a 4.5. I mean it’s no 50footer or anything…but there was definetly some branches, twigs and other trees to get wrapped around if you botched it.
I wonder if they could get arrested for tearing apart a tree that was once old growth on USFS land? That would be funny.
Here’s a shot of Gillis.
