Hunter Visser here. Just got back from the second BC big air event at Apex Mountain Resort. It was an awesome comp. It was two big air competitions; Saturday and Sunday. Apex has an awesome 50 footer on their air site.

I took 1st both days doing a switch 720 tail grab Saturday and a switch 900 on Sunday.

1st on the day 1...

...and on day 2

This competition was a qualifier for junior nationals at Silverstar, outside of Vernon BC. Juniors are in two weeks so I have a bit of time to step up my tricks. Last year I took silver. And I am hoping to medal again. 

Tucker Visser here. I got 3rd the first day and on Sunday I got 2nd. I learned some new variations with my spins, different grabs.

I hope everyone is having a great season so far, I know I have and I'm planning to go to some of the larger competitions coming up including: Salomon Jib Accademy at Calgary Olympic Park, Junior Nationals in Silverstar BC, and hopefully WSI in Whistler. See you on the hill!
