The Season Begins - Wahoo!!!

Well today was the first rail jam of the season for Spencer. A local shop, TWC, held their annual rail jam for snowboarding. They set up a wood structure with a couple rails, and trucked in snow from the local arenas.

It was a great day. There were two rails to hit. One was a handrail setup and the other was a box rail. To hit the box rail thy used a winch to get you up to speed. That was very fun to watch. It was also Spencer's first time using a winch. He rocked it.

They divided the rail jam into two age categories, under 15 and 15 and older. Spencer took second place in the under 15 age group, which was great considering he was the youngest kid competing. He is 9 years old.

Well we are looking forward to this years snowboarding season. Spencer has already told me he is going to work on his rotations and go bigger.

I plan on posting video and photos this year.
