For over-the-hill, longing to relive the glory days of snowboarding crew the Longboard Classic is the biggest stop on the tour. Organized by Paul Gruber, the event celebrates retro equipment, fun, and the snowboarding heros of yesterday. The event starts on April 16, 2009 and the riders’ list is a virtual who’s who of world snowboarding.
Here is our shoddy translation of their website:
Ten successful years Longboard Classic and some thousands of new friends. If that is not a reason for celebrating! If I think however of our guests of this year, then I get soft knees (like at that time, as I exactly 30 seasons ago my first Burton Backhill in the hand held): Chuck Barfoot, the owner Snow surfing of the same name and Skatefirma and one of the 4 establishment fathers of the Snowboardens. Terry Kidwell, which Godfather OF Freestyle, quadruple Freestyle World champion and legendary windshield frame section team driver and Shawn farmer, Freeride legend, which into the late 80s showed us, what it is called to be Alaska local one. Terry and Shawn will heat us also in music: with their volumes „Hunk OF Metal “.
How could anyone miss this. . .
