Nike 6.0's Greatest Hits Jamwent down at Mt. Seymour this past weekend and the event went off under sunny blue skies in perfect spring-like conditions.

Angela Sun from Yahoo Sports was on the scene to break down all the action that unfolded at Mt. Seymour.

After the warmest January and early February on record, the international media camped out in Vancouver have had a field day talking about the weather and the problems it's causing during the Olympics. Fortunately, not one person at Saturday's Nike 6.0 Greatest Hits Jam had any reason to complain. Brilliant sunshine and perfect spring conditions welcomed local riders escaping the madness of the city, and with the most snow and best park on the North Shore, there was no doubt that Mount Seymour was the place to be. As early arrivals filtered up the hill and started to scope the park, the message board beside the lift captured the attitude of the day perfectly, mocking, "Did you know the Olympics are happening?"


The famed Burlington High School double kink was one of the featured "Greatest Hits." It was totally un-Olympic and totally fun.

Seymour's main chair presented a bird's eye view of the park, located directly below, and the course consisted of one jump, a down bar leading into a double-kink box and rail, and a picnic table. The 'Greatest Hits' were set up farther down, featuring an actual electrical box hittable from two sides, Quebec's Red Ledge, and beside it the impressive Burlington High School double-kink.

With the barbeque fired up, the DJ spinning, and TJ Schiller, Elena Hight, Greg Bretz and Louie Vito all in attendance, it was the perfect setup to set things off.

Nike's Greatest Hit Jam proved to be a super fun event that was all about hanging out, having a good time and straight up shredding.
