Bear Mountain's annual Hot Dogs 'N' Handrails event took place on Saturday the 20th. And was once again bigger and more ridiculous than the previous year. The "ridiculous" I'm talkin about is the increased amount of morons wearing goofy outfits. Here's a few examples:
The set-up looked much better than last year. There was a choice between a long down rail or a down-flat-down rail at the top. The centerpiece was a bombdrop that led into a step-over gap with an integrated wallride (yeah, I thought this was a rail contest too).
Men's 1st, 2nd, & 3rd went to Jed Anderson, Chaz Guldemond, and Scott Vine. Women's went to Desiree Melancon, Marie Hucal, and Raewyn Reid. Judging was probably tough with the whole jump vs. rail situation, but they should definitely do away with the pre-qualified status next year cuz some of those dudes in the finals were weak and their style was straight scustin'. I'm probably just annoyed that Charles Reid didn't get on the podium and Ben Rice didn't make finals. But I did get this smooth photo of Ben
and he got this smooth Interview.
