For the first time ever Snowboarder Magazine brings to you America's Next Top Pro Model. Bringing out a long list of the worlds most elite riders for some fun up at Timberline. On the first day to get things kicked off there was a high ollie contest that after you cleared the bar had a loading dock style landing. Lauri took that one. Then to change things up a little everyone walked up to the 100 foot rail. There were a few makes to the end, and it was Derek Dennison that got there the cleanest. When day two came around the first event was the spin to win part of the contest. Where Pat Moore did some really fast carcass chucking and took that event down with a 1080 on a jump you would not think is big enough for 3 spins. Then a little beak for lunch, followed up by Highest Air in the pipe. Where Lauri again took, but there were plenty of lofty airs by everyone else too. As everything was coming to a close Pat Bridges still had one more event for the riders. A Chinese downhill race from the top if the Windell's Lane and ending at the bottom. Where Lauri again came through first. For the awards everyone headed down the road to Windells for some free dinner and the skate contest since Bonfire's Pipe 2 Pipe contest was also going on the same day. Thanks to Pat Bridges, the rest of the Snowboarder Mag staff, Windells, Timberline, riders, and everyone else that put this on for another really fun event up here and a solid party that night in Govy.
