Tom won AST rail jam



Ah

Portland, home to the Wendy’s Invitational, the 3rd stop of the AST

Summer Dew Tour. What makes this one different is the face that Nike

6.0 ha been gracious enough to host a rail jam on site. Skiers from all

over traveled to Oregon to partake in the event, a predecessor to the

Winter Dew Tour.

A single run to introduce the riders,

followed by a 30-minute jam session was what determined the winner. The

loud music blaring, beer garden flowing and Luke Van Valin’s soothing

voice presiding, the rail jam went off without a hitch. BAM.

All

the riders were throwing down, 270s with multiple switch ups, Big Frank

was buttering onto the down rail and a few 450s were even whipped

around, much the the crowd’s delight. Needless to say, favorite Tom

Wallisch took home the crown and $4,000. Native Albertan Ian Cosco

managed to take home the silver and Joe Schuster, the target of many

rumors, slid into the 3rd spot.

A short and sweet rail jam

is just the beginning to what will become the largest action sports

tour on the ski side of things. Many thanks go out to AST and Nike 6.0

(and all the other sponsors) for putting on such a sweet rail jam and

helping push the sport of skiing out there into the world.

 
Haha, I bet the fact that it was Wendy's sponsored was what got him so stoked.

Kid's got Wendy's nuggets in his veins.

REALLY?, the highlights are a butter, with endless 270 on? so everyone did the same penciled out garbage. but then there were 450 hucks which im sure impressed all. the snowboarders were prolly sick, with magoon and all, im sure it took a hardway backlip to press, the crowd was prolly still cheering from that.

wow!, no one said travis heed was going to be there. or is that heavy steezestealing...

 
The snowboard event was horrible, there was only 4 riders. The Ski event was awsome and Cosco, Wallisch, schuster, spriggs and everyone else were throwing down, and it wasn't really hucked except for maybe spriggs. But he was just spinning like mad.

Bonus Wallisch tossed me his bandanna that he's wearing in that picture
 
yea the event was ill. so sick that skiing was able to make it into the dew tour this year. for the reference. walllisch's winning trick: 450 on to the down bar. 27 out
