This past Friday, May 2nd, SLUSH magazine held their annual World Quarterpipe Championships at Mammoth Mountain. A 28 foot behemoth of a quarterpipe sat at the bottom of the hill for world class snowboarders to charge full speed at and huck their highest airs and gnarliest transition tricks.

As always, we here at Nixon supplied the "Best Time" award. No, it has nothing to do with who went the fastest, but rather who had the most fun at the event. This year, the "Best Time" award went to Raibu Katayama as well as Nixon legacy rider, Shannon Dunn. Congrats to both of these insane rippers and thank you for bringing such a passionate spirit to the event!
