Urban rail contests are becoming an ever bigger part of the snowboarding calendar – witness the
$10,000 trick from the Mammoth’s WCI. The Downtown Throwdown in Seattle is sponsored by local brand Lib Tech (regular mag readers will recall we visited their nearby factory for an article in the new Buyer’s Guide) and attracted a bunch of new school rail slayers for this year’s event, including
Ryan Paul (who ended up winning)
Forest Bailey,
Jake Kuzyk,
Ted Borland and our new hero
Scott Stevens.
