Grenade Games 7: Bear Mountain

By: Snowboarder Magazine

The 'Grenerds' and their ring leader Danny Kass rallied to Bear Mountain this weekend and sent it under sunny skies in spring break fashion for the seventh annual Grenade Games.

Snowboarder Magazine's Tom Monterosso was on the scene and brings us the full recap of action from Grenade Games 7.

It may not have gone down on 4/20 this year, but the 7th annual Grenade Games drew stoners, boners, derelicts and degenerates to Big Bear yet again. Danny Kass and his RV full of alpine antagonists pulled in to Nig Bear Lake, California under sunny skies, but when the smoke cleared at the end of the Grenade Games, there were still vapor trails visible from San Bernardino.

The Grenade Games has become a gathering more so than an actual contest, and the Grenerds, as they're so aptly titled, certainly love a good ol' fashioned barn burner. This year was no different.

Roped off from the general public (and for good reason), the Grenade Games course, built by Clayton Shoemaker and the dedicated pushers at Bear, left little to be desired, and allowed the participants to have free reign over the entire venue in an all-out jam session where no feature was ever technically closed.

Because of this, the on-hill assemblage (including the likes of but not limited to Dustin Craven, the Dingo, Louie Vito, Keegan Valaika, Eric Messier, the Midget Mafia, Chris Bradshaw, Lucas Magoon, Zak Hale, Chris Brewster, Harrison Gordon, Shane Fortier, Brian Regis, Johnny Miller, Cody Rosenthal, Dylan Alito, Johnny Lazz, and the dreadlocked hero) had their way with every single feature all day long, with no strict regimen of who needed to hit when, when, and why. It was chaos, and truth be told, our kind rather enjoys chaos, controlled or not.

Get your arse on over to SNOWBOARDER MAG for the rest of the recap.

Stale Sandbech Lands Triple Under-Flip 1260

Stale Sandbech Lands Triple Under-Flip 1260

The 18-year-old stomped it off a massive kicker in Europe.

While many of us were sulking because the season is practically over, Norwegian shredder, Stale Sandbech was busy stomping a brand new trick. A video of the 18-year-old hitting a massive kicker in Europe just surfaced, and in it, Sandbech stomps a triple underflip 1260. Yeah, we didn't really think that was possible either, but this video from Stale's sponsors proves it.

After seeing the video, we had to know what was going through Sandbech's mind when he stomped the new trick...
