May 6-10, 2008 Mammoth Mountain, CA – This past week under sunny skies and spring conditions on the backside of Mammoth Mountain, Snowboarder Magazine hosted one of the sickest, most exclusive annual Superpark events. The non-public, invitation only event had security at every angle making it virtually impossible to get a sneak preview of what the big guns in snowboarding can do when given the opportunity to hit custom made kickers and features built by the very best park builder’s in the biz. The scene was laid out like a photographer’s dream “Hollywood set” attracting more than a 100 core rider’s including Flow’s Scotty Lago and Timmy Humphreys.

According to reports I overheard, Scotty was killin’ it with huge airs and insane tricks giving him a chance to shine in front of the camera. Tim was also going huge, but on day two had an unfortunate landing that ended in a sprained ankle. Lucky for him the injury happened at the end of the season giving him a few summer months to recover. In the final days of Superpark another surprise element appeared in the sky when the Travis Rice film crew showed up in a heli to capture some footage of Scotty, Travis and other featured rider’s for the new film “That’s It, That’s All” due out later this year.
