Mining For Jumps

Nike, created by an Oregonian, and now sponsoring the likes of TJ Schiller, Simon Dumont, Andreas Hatveit, and Jossi Wells, has currently brought them together for a PBP shoot in beautiful Silverton, CO. Andreas, coming off multiple Dew Tour victories, such as, overall Slopestyle winner and Rookie of the year, earned his 1st powder jump shots outside of Norway this week. Jossi, "The Fash," also dominated the Dew Tour series, with a pipe win at Snowbasin and crowned overall halfpipe champion. He also earned a 2nd place finish at X Pipe. With the work Jossi put forth during this tough competition schedule a break was needed, he made a quick pit stop in Silverton to help us dig for a day and then jetted off to Hawaii to shop, pimp, and relax. TJ, pulling a 1st ever double cork 1620, earned Silver at X Big Air allowing him to travel to Silverton, cook Shepards Pie for the crew, and stomp big in the sunny bc. Simon waltzed in late last night after resting in abnormally chilly Florida http://mattmargetts.com/ from his brutal crash in X Pipe. Oh, he also won Dew Tour pipe in Vermont after the knockout blow in Aspen. He did well on his 1st day in Silverton with one big shot, no pun intended.

The trip is going well, with nice sized backcountry jumps and an urban feature last night during the firework show and blizzard. We are currently staying in a 100 year old Victorian style house with 5 bedrooms, animal heads, tons of artwork, icy stairs, great views, and a man sized bathroom for me to unwind. Cody was here for the 1st couple of days, but has left to Montana for an urban mission with LJ, Gagnier, Alexis, Walker, and Seo. We will miss Cody and his late night tales, but for now, Jake, Nate, Simon, Andreas, Tj, and myself will continue to scout, build, and stomp in the bc of Silverton, CO.
