The Paul Mitchell Expression session was basically a pipe jam with 2 obstacles set up on the deck. You will see those obstacles later. It was really a good time and all the riders seemed to enjoy it. Awards were given out for best overall and best trick. The format was simple – 60 minute jam with awards given for overall performance and best trick. The Best trick meant on an obstacle, I told Keir Dillon it looked kind of like the West Coast Invitational at Mammoth only 60 degrees cooler he said “yea but this pipe is perfect”. The vibe was like an anti contest, just the best pipe riders hiking the pipe. In fact they kept shredding after the contest was over.


Starting Line Up
Here is the start list for the Paul Mitchell Expression session


Jeremy Thompson

Up and comer Jeremy Thompson was charging hard

Trevor Jacobs

You might remember Trevor Jacobs – he won the 15 and under PBRJ rail jam last weekend in Mammoth. Well, he almost made the pipe finals in the Grand Prix and ruled the pipe obstacles with tricks like frontside 50/50 to alley oop revert out. In fact I would say Trevor was in the top 5 for best trick.


Shayne Pospisil

Chad Otterstom
Chad Otterstrom back lips the plexi. Chad was on fucking fire all night but kind of kept slamming all hard, Andy Finch style, and was later seen in the VIP area drinking beer
 

Mason Aguirre
Mason Aguirre was also ripping. Mason opted out of the pipe competition earlier in the day saying he had not ridden enough recently but did ride in the expression session and busted tricks like this stale


Thomas Harstad

Michael Goldschmidt
Michael Goldschmidt goes front 5 to tail. He missed the tail bonk but got second in the overall jam

Luke Mitrani and Danny Davis
The highlight of the night was when Luke Mitrani and Danny Davis did a doubles run and they both did the same tricks all the way down the pipe. Dual crails.

Paul Mitchell Progression Session
The temperature may have been below zero but the action was hot – dual front 5’s. After the buzzer was over, the riders kept riding and the drinkers kept drinking…good night!
