     So Gromfest is working with Oakley at Bear Mountain this Saturday for the Oakley Uprising, a jam style event with transitions and artificial features. 
 
This year marks the 2nd Annual Oakley Groms Weekend at Bear...a weekend devoted to the younger shredders that make the sport. 
 
On Saturday, Gromfest will be inducting 2 more youth 18 & under into the qualifiers pool so if you've got talent, put on your sunblock, your sunglasses and your steez and head into the hills for a competition that only Bear and Oakley could put on.
 
Then, come Sunday, Sports Illustrated For Kids takes over with their Next Snow Search.  Gromfest will still be there but if you want to qualify you've got to come Saturday.
 
So that's it...come up to Bear either Saturday or Sunday and stop by the Gromfest tent to say hi and grab some stickers.  Also, when you stop by, if you happen to mention that you saw this announcement on Snowboard.com we'll enter you in a drawing to win a pair of Burton gloves.  You gotta be a part of Snowboard.com for that deal however so don't forget to mention it.
 
See you under the sun and on the slopes!
 
-Gromfest Crew

  So if you live in Washington you should have been at Jib This! at the Summit at Snoqualmie and if you weren't there you missed out.

Sure there was fog covering the hill for the whole event...like that's nothing new to Washington riding....but the comp was amazing and Krush and his crew outdid themselves.

For those of you that weren't there, competitors had a choice of 3 features: a van, a hunk of a chairlift pole and a couple Summit bridge boxes.  Pretty cool seeing as how the junkyard park is just getting started (oh yeah, airplane wing still to come).

The competition set a new record this year with around 86 competitors fighting for the prize.  In the end though, two more were inducted into the Gromfest Qualifiers pool.  Who you may ask?  Why the following:

                 * 1st Place Qualifier - Austen Sweetin
                 * Judges Choice Qualifier - Mike Suvereid
 
Just like the other comps, these boys took home the custom board and boot and since you weren't there to witness and see for yourself you can at least check them and their trophies out below...
