Alright, we all like to throw down downtown. Whether that be a bar fight, a serious night of boozing, dance moves on a street corner, or hitting a down rail in the middle of Pioneer Square in Seattle - it all counts. On October 8th, however, it will probably turn out to be a mixture of all aforementioned.

Lib Tech is hosting the Sixth Annual Downtown Throwdown in Seattle, WA which draws a handful of technical jib riders from underneath their rocks to compete for 20 grand. The list of past champions is impressive and can only prove to up the ante and level of shredding. For all the happenings, read the full press release below:

Tech and Snowboy Productions are stoked to bring back the Downtown Throwdown to Seattle on October 8, as well as adding our new stop in San Francisco on October 29...it's gonna be BANANAS!

In the past 5 years this event has grown from a great local event to the biggest and most respected urban snowboarding event in the world, with a focus on the up and coming snowboarders who are shaping the industry.

"I'm humbled at how big this event has grown, and definitely excited about its future" says Snowboy Productions President Krush Kulesza. "With Seattle and our new SF stop, plus our AM qualifier series (The Feeders!) in Portland, Spokane and Sacramento, we've got the whole west coast covered from the Bay to the Border."

The invite list is STACKED with the likes of... Scott Stevens, Forest Bailey, Johnny Lazz, Ted Borland, Jake Kuzyk, Dylan Thompson, Austen Sweetin, Jess Kimura, Chris Larson and a lot more. Each stop will feature 25 of the most progressive jibbers on the scene today. We can't wait to see who will join past winners Dan Brisse, Jed Anderson (twice), Nick Visconti and Ryan Paul as the next Downtown Throwdown champ.

Lib Tech rider and Think Thank owner Jesse Burnter will hold down the emcee duties along with Preston Strout from High Cascade Snowboard Camp and Crab Grab fame. Dinosaurs Will Die's Sean Genovese will head up the judgeMENTAL crew with the likes of Zac Marben, LNP and Chris Grenier to determine what riders will take home a share of the $20K in prize money.

In addition to the non-stop shred action, there will also be music, food vendors, live art, autograph signings, a raffle of prizes that benefit great local charities, as well as info and prizes from all our great sponsors.

Best of all? It's still TOTALLY FREE!! So get your butt down to Pioneer Square in Seattle or the Civic Center in San Francisco and check out the action!
