Grenade Games 9

libtech — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 23:25:18 +0000

Monster Energy presents Grenade Games 9 at Mammoth Mountain — April 27-28, 2013

Mission Grenade Games 9 seeks to radically advance snowboarding and partying (nothing else really matters, does it?) in and around Mammoth Lakes, California to the absolute benefit of nobody or anything. Mission control dictates we, and anybody associated or within screaming distance of us, shred, party our brains out and get WAY out of this world.

“Finding yourself going up so high, without even strapping on your bindings, is a supernatural sensation,” philosophizes the universally admired loose screw known as The Dingo. “Shit, man, reaching for the stars is just great, but it really all comes down to living large, laughing in the face of death and shredding and partying. Yeah, it’s a mission — a mission extremely out of control!”

Grenade Games 9 brings together the world’s leading “Brain Trust” in snowboarding, partying, and waking up on the floor. Do whatever you gotta do to make it to Mammoth Mountain and be a part of extra terrestrial history at the 9th annual Grenade Games. The Monster 9 Lives Slopestyle? The Zumiez Handplant Park—winners receive a trip to Jamaica?

FREE LIVE SHOW BY NOFX!?

It will be a record setting event and one that promises to make you see stars.
