The First Rome Premature Jibulation - Summit at Snoqualmie
Nov 19, 2008 - 12:03 PM
For the second consecutive year Rome’s Premature Jibulation went down at the Summit at Snoqualmie and once again there was no snow. This however did not stop Krush and his killer park crew from making jibulation possible. Bags of shaved ice were trucked in and smashed up to provide riders with a shreddable surface. As you can see from the photos, a whopping 160 riders showed up to session, to eat hot dogs and enjoy the sun.
Riders were split into two groups and each had 45 minutes to an hour to get their jib on. Slams and hang-ups were quite common, but what do you expect for the first day of shred? On the brighter side of things many kids showed up with their A-game and were dropping more hammers than an intoxicated carpenter. Front blunt 270’s, nosepress tail taps, frontboards, and even a few 50-50 to fs 360 happened.
When all was said and done, Jesse Gouveia took third and a new SDS outerwear jacket, Jeff Cragin walked away with second and a pair of Arsenal bindings and Gared Schneider stepped his way to the top of the makeshift pallet podium taking home a new Cheaptrick snowboard. Other notable winners of the day included the muddiest rider who scored a sweet backpack and some girl who got a sweatshirt for eating the most over cooked hot dog ever seen.
Big thanks go to the regional team riders: Megan Middleton, Jeff Rudinski, Matt Kratzer, who made it up to help out, Forrest Wedmore for stoking all the kids out, Summit at Snoqualmie and Krush and his killer park crew for making it all happen.
