The leaves are turning, movies are dropping, and everyone's waiting for that first snow fall... it's time for the 4th annual Hay Bails and Grind Rails at Toggenburg Mountain in central New York. In case you haven't made it in the past, HB&GR is one of the largest pre-season rail jams and movie premiers on the east coast. Riders are invited out for the day on Saturday, October 24th to session our pre-season rail setup and check out four of this year's best ski and board films! Tons of schwag will be given away by our sponsors, food will be cookin, drinks will be flowin, and a good time will be had by all! The event will kick off at Noon and admission is only $10 (the first 150 in the door get a free HB&GR '09 t-shirt)! See you there!

**All rail session participants 17 and under must have a signed parental release which can be found at www.skitog.com or at Togg the day of the event**

Thanks to Jack Byers for the event artwork!

*Tentatively* Down rail, down-flat-down rail, and a down-flat-down box. That's what I'm planning on, looks like it will work out, but my experiences tell me it's never set in stone haha. Either way, it will be sick and it will DEFINITELY be the best setup we've had to date.

Again, that setup is tentative, but it's looking good so far. As for urban setups, the d-f-d rail and down bar will be urban, d-f-d box will be regular, atleast that's the plan haha.

Bump for what is to be an epic day. I've now watched all four films, and they're nothing short of DOPE! Refresh is a no-brainer, it's straight fire. Stallions is yet another SICK production from Meatheads. Think Thank out did themselves AGAIN with Cool Story. And Sandbox filmed some of the sickest backcountry I've ever seen in a film. Trust me, you want to see all these films!

Gonna be awesome! Togg has stepped up their game every single year since nick has been in charge. Oh and did he mention there will be brand new rails built specifically for this event? I'll be there taking pictures. If you tell me you're from ns I'll give you a discount if you want to buy one or two.

New d-f-d rail and new down bar are done and look sick! Hope to get them set up tomorrow and start gathering snow tomorrow as well. Crossing my fingers for some decent weather this Saturday! Stoked!

I'm sure there will be. I asked my friend who goes to school for production to come but I don't know if he will. I'll be taking photographs and they will be for sale.

Yessir, got all three set up yesterday. Hoping to finish the take-off ramps today and we'll be heading out this afternoon to start stockpiling snow. The setup is by far the best we've ever had, four years of mistakes have given us some serious pre-season rail wisdom.

It's going off. We have 3x the amount of snow as we did last year. It will happen no matter what. Even if you don't feel like getting wet, come to watch the movies.
