The Riders Union 2010 Thurs Nite Jib Sesh

Grainy video from the Thursday Night Session. Josh, remember your neon pants next year so the camera can actually pick you up in the dark! Who wears all black at a night session? Good stuff fellas.

Front Yard Jump Sesh

This weekend a few The Riders Union Members decided to get gnarly on a jump in the front yard. These snaps were taken on Friday at around midnight after many Sierra Nevadas. We spent most of our time making sure the run-in and take off were feeling good. The landing was a big problem as it was flat and snowy.


We tried our best but could never get a good picture of Wes flying through the night sky. Everyone enjoyed this picture of Wes somehow getting his board perpendicular with the ground so this is what gets posted.


Matt was working on his indy grabs and smooth floating over the booter and into the abyss.


Cam dialed up some method grabs but didn't have enough air time to tweak them very hard. He also lit up the night sky with his neon pants. It was the pants, rather than the noise, that caused the neighbors to call the cops. Officer Sukklebalz came by and politely asked Cam to change into pants a little less florescent.

The next night we shoved a bunch of snow away from the gap making the clear just that much more gnarly. With this snow we made a really nice tranny so landings are super simple. Get stoked on The Riders Union Jump n' Jib Sesh!

Matt Hylander: Steezy Bomber


Matt loves to slide, period. Whether it be snow, tree trunks, rock, puckboard or corrugated pipe he is down to nosepress and tailpress anything that comes in his way. More power slasher than light footed shred stick spinner, Matt destroys things with his butter knife more hard core than anyone not named Beefcake Hundox. His new Lib Tech magne-traction technology gives him insane control in the deep pow puff pack and blower turns have become even more blower-y than with past skiboards. Do not shred directly on his right unless you want a jacketful of snow shrapnel. And if there's anyone who will gladly take down an Artic Cougar in the lodge, this is our kid. So for all you dating/married dudes, please allow us to vicariously live through The Hylander at Riders Union '10 when it comes to spitting hilarious anecdotes about cork spinning humongous booters. As we all know, Artic Cougars latch claw onto anyone who talk about the super durdy funbox tailpresses they laid down in the park earlier. Steezy.
