DC SHOES: HIT & RUN 2017 WHISTLER, BC

The final stop of the Winter 2017 DC Hit & Run Banked Slopestyle series went down April 1st - 2nd at Whistler Blackcomb. The event showcased 60+ of BC’s local crushers on a whirlwind of a course that specialized on speed, steep and deep berms, snowboard trickery, and lots of high–fives. The event capped the series tour which saw stops at Mammoth California, Meribel France, and Whistler Blackcomb. See ya next year!

DC SHOES: HIT & RUN 2017 MÉRIBEL, FRANCE

The 2nd stop of the 2017 DC Hit & Run went down in Meribel, France last weekend. The inconsistent and troubling weather didn’t stop the field of over 50+ riders from ripping it up all day. Taking place at France’s legendary DC Area 43, the course challenged riders to ride as fast as they can through banked turns, and throw down their best tricks on the 3 judged sections (pipe, rails, and jump). At the end of the day it was Mons Roisland who took home the cash for Mens Pro and best trick with a switch back 1260, Sebbe De Buck coming in second, and Jordan Morse with 3rd. The mysterious “LeBlanc” lead the way in Men’s Open, and Nikelaeva Xenia won for the Women’s Open. Next stop Whistler!

DC SHOES: HIT & RUN 2017 MAMMOTH, CA

The first stop of the 2017 DC Snowboarding Hit & Run wrapped up last weekend in Mammoth Mountain, CA. Under blue skies and abnormally frigid temps, Mammoth’s finest battled it out through fast banked turns and technical slopestyle features to prove who has the all-around skills to pay the bills.

The DC Hit & Run is a banked slopestyle that combines the speed and turns of a traditional banked slalom with the technical trickery of a slopestyle. Riders make their way down the course as fast as they can while sending their best tricks off of judged features for bonus time deductions.
