Tom Pelley Blogs from Grenade Games, Bear Mountain





Grenade Games 8...

It was the second Grenade Games I have been to and once again it was one of the highlights of the year for me. Bear Mountain in California turned out a amazing course with some never before seen ideas, for example the BMX trails with pond skims in between each jump. Danny hired out a whole hotel of little cabins so we could all party and ride together; complete with on lake access, beer pong table and block parties every evening.

As for on hill shenanigans, the first event was the Eye Ball jump, followed by the always entertaining Chinese Downhill through the mogul field. The second day was the crazy Monster Pipe which has some unique transfers and gaps, and finally my favourite; the race through the park. One on one through a series of rails, banks, jumps and two pond skims. Danny and I had a good match up getting a little dirty but that made it even funnier.

Down the bottom Grenade never disappoint with amazing bands and a good time!

Thank you Danny and Dingo and everyone else who made it happen. Good course, good friends and good times. True snowboarding.

Attended by team, retail partners, industry and media, the event was supported by the awesome guys at Australia's Surfing Life Magazine and Toohey's Extra Dry. Entertainment was provided in bulk by the awesome BAGSvDK duo - keeping everyone glued to the dance floor and partying well into the night. While the full details from the night are still being recalled, without a doubt, there were sore heads aplenty come Easter morning... Check out the rest of the party pics right here!
