The Ride Shakedown happened over the weekend at Snoqualmie. Day one was the rail jam which saw Canadian Jeremy Cloutier nail a frontside 180 gap, switch backside 360-out on the kink rail earning him the win and US$5,000. Day two was the main event where Matts Kulisek stomped a frontside 1260 on the jump then a switch 50/50 on the kink rail which got him the highest score of the day and $US15,000. Yuki Kadono from Japan came in runner up by only a point with a cab 1260 followed by a boardslide to fakie on the down rail – he donated half his US$8,000 winnings to the Red Cross. Check the above highlight video from SixEleven to see all the action from the day.
