Backyard Bang Rail Jam Dates: 10/20 Location: Portland, OR Official Site: http://www.bonfiresnow.com/News.aspx Sport: Snowboarding Details: Ankeny Alley, infamous backdoor exit for Portland’s oldest strip joint, is known primarily for its urban camping ambiance, constant road construction and sketchy public bathroom antics. Salomon Snowboards and U.S. Outdoor Store infiltrate the alley with scaffolding, snow, music, Cobra Dogs, spectators, a beer garden, locals and the world’s best riders. Riders will compete for $10,000 in prizes. The Bang format is unlike any other contest. With riders going head to head in elimination rounds until two finalists duke it out for first place. An open qualifier will pitch local riders into the street with the heavy hitting pros. Plus Marc Frank Montoya will be dropping beats for riders and the crowded alley of spectators at the Backyard Bang. Invitees include: Justin Bennee, Scotty Arnold, Jamie Anderson, Chad Otterstrom, Leanne Pelosi, Josh Sherman, Bryan Fox, Austin Smith, Ryan Thompson, Erin Comstock, Keegan Valaika, Nick Dirks, Darryl Mathes, Trevor Jacob and Marie-France Roy. Prize Purse: 1st Place $3,000; 2nd Place 1250; 3rd Place $750 for both guys and girls. To be a part of the open qualifier lottery contact U.S. Outdoor Store at 503.223.5937 ext. 5.
