ABSTRACTmall Catches Up With Skiers in the Front Range

|



In the early morning of a typical December Boulder night I got a call from Josh Bishop to go shoot some handrails. Intermingled into the Sun Microsystems buildings were a slew of both snowboarders and skiers throwing down on a down-flat-down.

After just arriving the crew decided to move onto another jib that they had already set up in the area. Brothers Alex and Nick Martini drove their minivan followed by a train of cars to an urban wall drop. Of course Superior’s Finest showed up before we even left the cars. With the security alerted to what we were up to they had that car fallow us around before we gave up on the spot and decided to move on.

Across the highway we spotted a down-flat with an upper parking lot for tow-ins. Cam Riley, Nick Martini, Josh Bishop, and Alex Martini set up the jib while we were joined with a few other friends including Jeff Kiesel. The rail proved to be harder than it looked but after a few cold hours Cam killed it with a 270 out. Cam Riley is one of the better urban rail riders I’ve seen and he was the last one out still hiking the stairs to claim the rail. With some frostbitten toes and fingers we packed it in before sunlight and returned to Boulder.
