Mark McMorris takes First at COP

January 22nd, 2009

On Sunday Jan. 18th Class Five team riders, Mark and Craig McMorris, competed in the Eh Games at Canada Olympic Park (COP) in Calgary, AB. The brothers both road hard with impressive tricks being thrown down. Clean and stylish are probably the best words to describe their runs through the large triple jump line at COP. Big props to Craig for such impressive riding, all with a broken arm.

At the end of the day, when the smoke cleared, it was Mark McMorris on top. The young rider took home First Place for the 15 and Under category as well as Third Place in the 16 and Over. When you throw down like Mark did on Sunday they have to give you two awards.

Again, congratulations to both Mark and Craig for such impressive riding. Nice work guys.

Welcome to the Team Mark and Craig

January 21st, 2009

Class Five is proud to announce we have added two new team members: Mark and Craig McMorris.

These two shredders have been traveling Canada for the last few years with Team Sask and have continually turned heads with their riding. They consistently throw down at Provincial and National events causing spectators and fellow competitors to ask “are these guys really from Saskatchewan?” Not to mention Mark and Craig are only 15 and 17 years old (respectively).

Class Five could not be happier. We have no doubt both Mark and Craig will go far in this sport and we are stoked to have them with us.

Welcome aboard McMorris Bro’s.

Congratulations!

Here at Class Five Snowboards we have known John Antoski for a long time. In fact we all used to live together in tight quarters just outside of Fernie, BC. Those days of hiding our clean plates and forks from John are gone. So are the days of finding his art pasted up in lifty shacks all over the mountain. Now it fills the pages of Transworld Snowboarding Magazine. That’s right, John has found a home at TWS. John took over as Associate Creative Director this year and has influenced every TWS mag you have looked at this winter season. Down in California he can be found shredding the ocean, a mountain or concrete with the pros. John is also our Creative Director here at Class Five and is the key factor to why our graphics look so radical. So we would like to extend a congrats to our long time homey. Congratulations John for following your dreams!

Storm Channel Session

January 10th, 2009

Here is a few photos from a little session that took place on a sweet secret rail spot. Kurtis Rothecker and Eric Poulin threw down while Kiriako Iatridis documented the moment. All three of these dudes got mad skills.
