Myself and some of the Salomon team are coming back to the east this weekend for the jib academy at Whaleback on Sunday. Not only will there be the Jib Academy (16&under), there is also and all ages railjam with cash prizes. Come hangout, BBQ, and shred, should be one of the sickest events on the east coast this year.
