Mark McMorris went down to do some riding in Keystone, Colorado recently. He got some nice shots we heard. But we dropped our jaws when we saw the footage. Check it out:
PS. Yes that is Master Splinter doing the intro!

Rail Wars at Asessippi was a great time. The hill and Xtreme Adrenaline did a great job of putting on the contest and it looked like everyone involved really enjoyed themselves.
For us, the day started with the crew piling into the van in the early morning to make the trek out to Asessippi. Luckliy we had a dvd player and Shrek 2 to keep us occupied for the long drive.
Craig, Mark, Kurtis and Stuffed Animal in the van for the drive up. (Plus a glimpse of an 10.11 Class Five graphic).
The contest was a pretty decent setup with a host of riders from around the area taking part. Being called Rail Wars, the setup was your choice of a down-rail or flat-box, and a then a barrel jib.
Craig looks on as Mark does a 270 into the down-rail.
Some of the highlights were: (1) all three of the Class Five riders at the event making it to the finals, (2) Mark showing Kurtis how to tie his bib around is leg, (3) Kurtis missing the finals because he was doing park laps trying to figure out what tricks he should do for the finals (nice work Kurtis); and (4) Mark and Craig taking first and second place respectively.
Young teaches the old. Mark shows Kurtis how to tie your contest bib around your leg.
A fun event that promises to be even better next year. Thanks for the great time everyone!

Saskatchewan’s largest contest, Jibfest, went down this past weekend at Mission Ridge. Perfect weather, great set-up and good times made this years Jibfest the best yet… not to mention Class Five was represented very well.
I managed to snap this photo at the riders meeting before the contest started. See if you can count all the Class Five boards that are in just this photo. It is always a nice feeling to see people stoked on our boards and putting them to good use.
Class Five team riders Mark and Craig McMorris both competed in the competition and did not disappoint. Here Mark is midway through a front 270 to board on the box.
And here Craig is stoked just after landing his hard-way 270 to board on the rail.
At the end of the day both Mark and Craig ended up on the podium. Craig took 2nd in the rail jam and Mark took 3rd. For the big air both Mark and Craig rode well, but it was Mark’s clean back 7 that got him 3rd place. Class Five could not be prouder of both Mark and Craig for their amazing riding and great attitudes. Here are the brothers getting their prizes for the rail jam.
Tomorrow is Jibfest at Mission Ridge… so today team riders Craig and Mark McMorris as well as myself got a chance to test out the course. The setup is definitely the most legit thing that has gone down in the province: a nice table with rail setup below.
Here is a shot of Craig testing the jump and showing that front 7’s can go down at Mission Ridge.
And here Craig shows that hamburgers can also go down at Mission Ridge.
Tomorrow should be a great day. Looks like we are going to have great weather and a great course set up. Looking forward to it.
If you’re in Saskatchewan this weekend you have to come check out the province’s largest contest: Jibfest. This is an annual event put on by the folks at Off Axis. We are stoked to have Class Five team riders Mark and Craig McMorris competing.
This year’s event is featuring both a rail jam and a big air. The contest is being held at Mission Ridge, about 45 minutes from Regina. Hope to see you all there.
A Class Five Art Snowboard will be auctioned off at the Kite Boarding for Cancer (KB4C) event on Feb. 14th North on Highway 11 just outside of Regina. The proceeds are going towards a worthy cause and you can also check out some boards being used with kites. Or, get there early and sign up for a lesson and be taught by some of the pros like event founder and kite boarder Aaron Hackel.
The board was hand made in the Class Five Studio and then sent to local Regina artist Jason Robins.
Creating the design for the snowboard for the KB4C auction has special meaning to Robins because cancer claimed the life of his father less than six months ago. The artist is not, however, a newcomer to philanthropy. He has created and donated both paintings and fashion pieces as fundraising items for many local organizations, including the Power of Pink Breast Health Centre, Sophia House, the Regina Adult Learning Centre, the Food Bank, the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame, the MacKenzie Art Gallery, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Regina Symphony Orchestra and several area schools.
AUCTION INFO:
Board can be viewed the day of the event February 14th or 15th (depending on weather) at event site. Live action starts 9pm the night of the event and closes at 9:20ish. Web bidding closes Saturday February 14th at 9am.
