Over the past eight years Bear Mountain’s Hot Dawgs & Hand Rails event has become both the official summer snowboarding ender, and SoCal’s winter kick-off (opening day could be a month away).
On Saturday, September 24, 2011 thousands of shred fans arrived at Bear Mountain to see some rail riding, hang out, and pick up free stuff from dozens of the action industry’s most famous brands. We’ve never seen Bear Mountain’s parking lot so full. In fact, we had to park halfway up the mountain on a rutted, grassy slope surrounded by some of Southern California’s finest shred tailgaters.
After what seemed like hours (3?) of rail jamming on all fronts of the delicious setup, judges JP Walker, Joe Sexton, Lauri Heiskari, and Seth Huot handed the $10,000 first prize check to Minnesota rail slayer Ryan Paul (maybe his frontflip wall ride to 50-50 had something to do with it).

So apparently there is still no answer on what a “close-out” rail is? I’m pretty sure the dude in the last video just made that name up on the spot.
