Down at Loon Mountain for the 10th Annual Last Call event with Eastern Boarder
Dave Schiff, John Cavan and Bub from EB. Schiff may have been asking them who let the dogs out, because later that night he had the jukebox ask everyone who let the dogs out…maybe 6 times in a row.
Cavan and I headed down to Loon Mountain for the 10th Annual Last Call. We showed late Tuesday night, with no real plans of where to stay or anything, just assuming stuff would work itself out. EB came though and hooked it up with a couch and one of those awesome beds that come out of the wall, which I always wanted as a kid. If you have a small apartment, you should build one.

Wednesday missed the mark on weather, little windy, little cold, but that didn’t seem to make a difference at all. Loon put together a sick set-up, with a gap jump over a rhythm section/ jib course, huge quarter pipe, and huge wallride. After a few guinea pig warm up straight airs from riders, Chilly Miller, on what I think may have been his first drop, gapped the rhythm section with a huge front rodeo and it was on from there.
So… the plan was, Matt would make a giant rice snowball, then hide in the bushes outside, and when someone walked out of the bar, he would pop up and yell snowball fight, and whip a giant rice ball in someone’s face. Really it was one of the best plans I’ve ever heard.
The awesome continued pretty heavy through the night over in Woodstock. Great times, great people. Well done and thanks to EB and the Loon crew. Check out the EB blogs for more photos and wrap ups of the event. http://easternboarder.com/main.php
