The 10th stop of the Cricket Campus Rail Jam Tour looked sicker than
ever. Held at UCSD in La Jolla, tons of kids came out to support their
local shredders. As the sun set, everyone continued slayin' it while
the Galvanic Design crew got some awesome night shots of the riders
hitting their set up. The last stop before the Portland finals is at
Oregon State this Thursday, May 21st.

Folow up story courtesy of Taylor Murray:

With 70-degree weather, Red Bull flowing, and Swine Flu in the air, the conditions were perfect for the rare breed of shredding that is the Cricket Campus Rail Jam Tour.
Mother nature was able to sit back and rest as the crew brought in a
massive ' margarita maker' to blow 25 tons of pearly white flakes onto
the setup. By the time the machine was near finished grinding the huge
ice blocks, a massive sea of people had already gathered around the
setup to peep the scene and get their photo taken at the ELM company booth. Cricket Wireless was giving away tons of free shirts and stoking out the crowd. Big ups to Cricket for making it happen!

60 local shreds came out to terrorize the rails and throw down for
their shot at some skrill and assorted products from all the fine
sponsors. Knife Show' (TM)s
own Casey Wrightsman took home the win for the men' (TM)s snowboard division
and walked away with the cash and an invite to the Portland finals.
Second place finisher, Colt Morgan, flew down from Tahoe just to
qualify for the finals, and that he did! Colt also walked away with a
crisp new Omatic board to beat all the babes off him. Eric Singer is no stranger to the Tour, and finished in third with some Skullcandy gear.

As for the ladies, Nirvana Ortanez took home the W and the infamous
jackalope trophy. So sick. Monica Thatcher finished in second and got a
ticket to the finals. Congrats ladies!

Let' (TM)s talk about some skiing. The San Diego skiers are some burly
dudes, they simply don' (TM)t give up. Bloody gashes, smashed limbs, no big
deal. The two plankers put on a great show for all the UCSD students
and walked away with big smiles despite their injuries. Andrew McDowell
stole the judges' (TM) hearts and scooped up some cash and a first place
spot on the podium. Robert Thorpe came in a close second and took home
some killer Boone
skis after getting wild on the Red Bull box. Lars Johnsgard Jensen
rounded out the pack in third and was rewarded with some sick Spyder outerwear and an invite to the Portland finals on May 30th!

When the sun had set and the winners had been crowned, the crew got
their hands dirty and tore down the setup in record time to make it to
the after party in Pacific Beach. 50 shred rats in a bar full of bros
always makes for a good/interesting time. Now that UCSD is in the
books, the Cricket Campus Rail Jam Tour
is back in Oregon to host one more event on their home turf, before the
final showdown in downtown Portland on Saturday, May 30th. Keep your
