Recommended Posts

Does anyone know anyhting about this oakley rail jam up at jack frost? I heard from the guy at mike and matts board shop up there that your gonna have to drop in off of a roll in ( like scaffolding set up) and hit like a really high box or something crazy. I bet theres gonna be insane competition considering the like 2000 dollar first prize purse. Does anyone know if theres any truth behind this and what the box is gonna be like or something?

Is this jam only open to professionals? because on the mass website it says theres gonna be 2 classes, amateur( i think 12 and under it means ) and professional. If anybody else wants to check it out its www.snowboardseries.com

UPDATE!!!!!!!!

 

The Oakley Pocono Rail Jam has been moved to Big Boulder (Jack Frost's sister resort) due to lack of snow. With no snowmaking temperatures in the forecast, We are moving the Oakley Pocono Rail Jam to Big Boulder where there is ample amounts of snow to build a world class Feature for our contest. Registration times and event schedule remain the same.

 

We were at BB on Sunday 1/28 and surprised by the amount of base there. The new owners and new guns definitly pumped it out. Under the radar.... check em out!
