Madrid – Spring 2013 Maryhill Freeride

Posted on May 13, 2013

The recent spring Maryhill Freeride was blessed with consistent tail winds all weekend, so the hill was unusually fast and the pack riding was a little more subdued. Still, there was plenty of the silliness and sketchiness that the event is known for, so sit back and enjoy this compilation of clips Madrid put together. Special thanks to Scoot, Cord Brown, and Lee Gilmar for the additional footage.

Race Photos from Giant’s Head Freeride

Posted on August 22, 2011

Adam “Awger” Auger battles Aaron “from the block” Grulich for one-handed toeside supremacy.

While we certainly dig the laid-back, noncompetitive atmosphere at freerides, if you’re going to shut down a sick hill for three days you might as well have a race and see who’s fastest.

Summerland native “Prince” Dillon Stephens defended his title and took first.

Sector 9′s Big Lou was sporting an absolutely filthy moustache when he got second.

JimZ’s hands-down style was surprisingly fast. He and Madrid rider Justin Rouleau crashed later in the run, nuking Rouleau’s ankle.

Thirty more after the jump, including some dudes whose names we don’t know. See yourself? Let us know so we can put your name up and give you the recognition your steez deserves.
