Canadian Open Results

After a week of blue bird days the finals for the Canadian Open in Calgary were fogged out. Even though the weather wasn’t the best some pretty insane riding went down. Class Five rider Mark McMorris rode well in the finals but unfortunately had a fall in his run that held him back from scoring higher. Mark finished in 9th place.

Here a few photos of Mark and Craig McMorris from the week leading up to the event.

Canadian Open in Calgary

Be sure to check out the live coverage of the Canadian Open this weekend. We are super stoked that our rider Mark McMorris qualified in 3rd place in the slopestyle semi-finals today. That puts him in a great spot going into slopestyle finals on Sunday.  Just go to opensnowboarding.com and check click on the Canadian Open to watch the event live. It will be airing on Sunday at 11am MST.

Better yet, if you live in or near Calgary head on down to COP to check the action out first hand. Go Mark!

McMorris Takes 1st at Calgary World Cup

Mark McMorris took 1st place at the FIS World Cup slopstyle event in Calgary yesterday, bringing home $11G’s for his results. Mark put down a clean first run that was untouchable by the rest of the competitors. Nice work Mark! Contest details can be found here.

This is sure to boost Mark’s confidence as he preps for the Canadian Open next week in Calgary. Big thanks to Adam Burwell from Burwell Productions for snapping the photo.

Mark McMorris takes First at COP

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.

Mark Accepting his Award

Welcome to the Team Mark and Craig

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.
