Battle in the Rockies is a flatland contest taking place in Colorado Springs, CO on November 15. From my understanding, riders qualify for the contest by entering a 1 minute long video of themselves for a flatland video battle of sorts, which a panel of judges deliberate and determine your placing, and people are flown in to compete live for the event. Montreal’s Jean-William Prevost and Edmonton’s Cory Fester both took the top two spots respectively (Cory tied for second place with another rider) by entering these two amazing videos. Unfortunately Cory had to withdraw from the contest because he cannot make the event, but the combos they hit are incredible nevertheless. Check out Jean-William’s 1st place entry above, and Cory’s 2nd place entry below.

Cult has been releasing sections from their Small Talk DVD, and this week we get treated to a mix part from global Cult riders, starting with our very own Luke Santucci. Captain of the Gleam Team Supreme holds down the first minute of this mix with his signature style from some time he spent down in California. The bump whip at 0:51 was exceptionally nice.

Somehow we missed the boat on this one, Owen Dawson killing rails in Western Canada. This is too good to be online, should be a full on DVD section.

“This is the result of Teddy Eyob convincing me to stay at his house in Calgary. Andrew Schubert ended up being in town at the same time and took me to some of the best rails I’ve ever ridden. Both of them are dialled humans and showed me the best time I’ve had all summer. Can’t thank them enough.”
