Super Pro Mammoth Session

Mammoth Mountains Unbound Park Crew built a jump that was unique in design and structure. It was a channel gap, gap jump. That means that there is a gap in between the take off and landing and a gap between the left side and right side of the jump.
Mammoth is one mountain that has the man power, machinery and motivation to build such a jump. They built this with one thing in mind, Private Session. Mammoth closes levels of the mountain early with plenty of snow to be ridden so they open these sections of the mountain for Private jump sessions with films crews like Mack Dawg. On this day they had a sick crew.
Tara Dakides, Danny Kass, Gabe Taylor, Cody Rosenthal, Mike Tobia, Bobby George, Sketchy D, Giacomo Kratter, Lucas Magoon, Bobby George, Brian Regis, Wyatt Caldwell and Jeff Curley made up the crew that ruled this Private Session.
This crew threw down tough. Tricks were thrown down by each and every rider in the session. The pictures from this session have been seen all over the snowboarding scene in magazines such as Snowboard Magazine and for such a unique feature they deserve the credit. The lifts were closed so the crews were using snowmobiles as their lift access. Each rider doubled a crew of riders up the hill. Some riders even took crews up to hit the kicker.
Mammoth is known for its private spring sessions so if you are in California during the months of April or May head over to Mammoth and sneak in for a sneak peak on a private session. Mammoths chair 4 park is the usual location for these private snowboarding sessions. Check out some of the worlds best snowboarders come together to ride just for fun. No money, no contest, no pressure, just fun, just a Session. A Mammoth Mountain private snowboard Session.
