The Lake Tahoe area’s talent came out swinging at Sacramento’s The Feeders! event. A stacked event where it was any man/or women’s to win. In the end Max Warbington dropped consistent technical rail and bank tricks to be the clear favorite and take home the win and an invent to Saturday’s Downtown Throwdown in San Francisco. Thanks to all the sponsors and competitors for helping us finish off this years The Feeders! tour with a bang. Edit by: Bryce Hymans

The Feeders! Spokane went off! The sun was blazing and the riding was scorching. The finals was particularly heated but in the end it was Stefan Krum taking home the win and an invite to the Downtown Throwdown in Seattle October 8th. Video by Mike Miller
The Feeders! Clackamas went off! Check out the action here. Thanks to Tommy for the club banger edit.
It hadn’t rained in the NW for over a month. So of course when the first stop of The Feeders! went down this past weekend we were greeted with a small monsoon…of radness! 40 snowboarders fell down and threw down during a two hour jam at the Clackamas Town Center while Jesse Burtner emceed and DJ El Chingon kept the energy high. After three heats the finals were set with 15 riders competing for one coveted invite to the upcoming Downtown Throwdown in Seattle on October 8. At the end of the 20 minute finals the judgeMENTAL panel of Austen Sweetin and Jess Kimura crowned Kevin Hanson the winner and hooked him up with the official invite and a new Gnu Snowboard. Stefan Krumm finished a close second and scored a new GoPro for his efforts. Stefan will definitely be a favorite at the next stop in Spokane this weekend. Johnny Syscho took third and prize pack from Arnette, and Jen Minor scored some new Skullcandy headphones for ripping the hardest for the ladies.
After the awards, everyone made their way inside the mall to the Zumiez store for a free screening of Think Thank’s Ransack Rebellion video. Vans teamriders Darrell Mathes, Eric Willett and Nick Poohachoff were in attendance and signed autographs for the kids along with Lib Tech’s Jesse Burtner and Monster’s Jess Kimura.
All in all it was a great kickoff to the shred season and the whole tour of The Feeders! and the Downtown Throwdown events. See you this weekend in Spokane for the next stop of The Feeders!…the forecast is upper 80’s and sunny.
